Child Abuse (As condoned in the Bible)
“Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.” (Proverbs 19:18) “Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with a rod, he shall not die. You shall beat him with a rod, and shall deliver him from hell.” (Proverbs 23:13-14) “He that spares the rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastises him betimes.” (Proverbs 13:24) “The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward part of the belly.” (Proverbs 20:30) “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.” (Proverbs 22:15) "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself will bring his mother to shame.” (Proverbs 29:15)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
