Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.

As is the false PETA equivalency between animals and humans. Language studies in the higher apes have shown that there is a significant difference in ability between even the smallest human fetus and an ape.
There is a significant difference. I'm saying that you and your family are victims, not perpetrators.
There is no spirit world. The material is all that is. Is that demonic ignorance, just a misconception or the truth?
"Neither my opinions nor my family are under demonic influence."
is followed by
"There is no spirit world. The material is all that is."
Which is a demonic statement in and of itself.
Some of our greatest scientists only believe in the natural material universe or the multiverse. Are they demonic (or at least influenced by it)?
Why choose supernatural explanations when natural explanations are more than adequate?
Natural explanations take more effort but are more satisfying because they can be addressed. "The demon made me do it" is the end of the discussion.
Are you a polytheist? Is the world filled with invisible saints and demons controlling the thoughts of men (which violates free will)? Sounds positively pagan.
And yes, in many ways, it would seem pagan to modern ears, but that makes it in no way any less true.
Populations hysterically acting on irrational beliefs does NOT require the supernatural. The miracle is that it does not happen more often.
"In no way less true"? What is your evidence? Using the supernatural to explain that which we do not understand is no answer.
It is in fact a better answer than ignoring the situation, which is what most Americans now do.
Unfortunately, the all too human tendency to use force to
oppress the lower classes is ubiquitous in history. The
difference lies in the available technology. The police
force with military grade weaponry? May the Saints
preserve us! Public outrage has fallen on the deaf ears of
power elite. And the wealth inequality continues to expand.
I agree ignoring the problem is no solution but how
does hypothesizing demons lend to a solution?
