re: Society melting due to lack of fathers in the home

I don't care how nice the parents are, a teenage boy growing up with two moms is not normal and is terrible for his development. Same with a teenage girl growing up with two dads.

Couldn't agree more with that. Females (mothers) by nature give us nurturing necessary to early development and balance later in life. Men (fathers) provide us with structure, an example of what a man should be for a daughter when she one day marries, and for a son who they want to aspire to as a man. Both combined reflect the nature of God and His intentions for a well rounded human being in care and concern as well as responsible and pragmatic.

Fathers also reflect how we see God, and this we take with us throughout the rest of our lives. If he is a good father who is kind, loving, approachable and yet asserts his authority, then we will see God in the right context and approach Him much easier. Bad fathers however who are tyrants, abusive, weak, or not approachable will similarly cause people to not come to God because that’s their understanding of what a “father” is. Those without any father will have no connection to this and see God as simply MIA.

Do you have any data to back this up?

Also, the question is if that 2-mother household is better than a single mother household.
