This is a book that in very plain language states that one should beat their child. It is my profession to make sure that people who beat their children are held accountable. This is child abuse and no amount of dressing it up is going to make it an acceptable method of parenting. "In those days" people believed ridiculuos and backwards things and here we are in an age when we should know better taking advice from this book. I have read it and I must say it almost made me sick to think that there are people out there who take what it has to say seriously. What other book in the WORLD would we be defending if it contained such disgusting prescriptions for human conduct.
Isn't it obvious it's just a metaphor?
