Father Disowns Neo-Nazi Son After Charlottesville Hate Rally

Let's hope Jesus Christ doesn't disavow Dad when dad screws up ! The bible is full of people that did a lot worse than this kid, yet God forgave them and redeemed them. So take great care how you judge this kid.

I'm sorry but there is nothing that will make me disown my child. I may not approve or like what they have become or believe but they are still my child and they will always be welcome in my home. THis does not break the bond of love with my child. I would be severely disappointed and would try to work through it but those conversations we would just have to agree to disagree with but as God is with me and nothing can separate His love from me, nothing can take away that bond and love with my child.

People often react in excess in the heat of the moment. I'd guess this Father will rethink his words eventually and will be there if his son needs him. Maybe not now, but possibly later. It's very hard to imagine a parent disowning a child. I say that as a parent of a grown daughter and son. I can't think of anything that would cause me to forever turn my back on a child of ours. Maybe stealing from us or causing their Mother harm would come close, but even then I'd have to consider whether it was intentional and with malice. Even then I'd have to consider the long term damage it would cause them to know they had gone so far as to cause their Father to forever disown them. Words like this often come out of anger at the moment and everyone is different, so maybe he means it. I'm not sure I could do that. Instead, I'd try to help them work through their hate and still maintain the family bond. If they stuck to their guns I'd still accept them but let them know how disappointing it was to me and continue in my attempts to bring them back to sanity.
