Are All Families Evil?

In the short film, The Stain, the case was made that the family is the worst criminal sect. This argument is made because of the abuse that sometimes takes place in families. But I do not think this is a fair argument due to its subjective nature. Not all families are abusive. Not all fathers are unloving. I have been blessed with an amazing family who have been extremely loving and supportive of me. Sadly this is something I often fail to fully appreciate. Seeing The Stain was a splash of cold water for me. It reminded me that not everyone has a family like mine.

As stated above, I do not think the "Family" is evil, because it was created by God.  However, when sin came into the world, it affected all the members of the family. So it is not the family that is the problem. It is the individuals who make up the family.

I believe that part of the reason God has blessed individuals like myself with a loving family is so that we can pay it forward, not just with our own children in the future, but with other children who do not have a good family environment.
