morality is subjective and people don't have free will

Evangelical or not, of everyone I know (and I know a lot of conservative Christians here in the Air Force) I can't imagine any of them treating their toddlers and young children like that. It's far from what I've seen.

Funny how people think their circle of acquaintances represents a whole demographic, huh? I call it 'everyone I know voted for Bernie so how did Hillary get the nomination?' syndrome.

The thing about anecdotes is that they can be neutralized by an opposing anecdote. It's exactly what I've seen. No lie. But I was raised by Pentecostals (25% of Americans aged 45-63 identify as Pentecostal) and live in SC, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Apparently your experience is invalidated by CL and Steve's.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
