In those days the family name meant everything to all people and to disrespect it was a extremely bad thing to do. If you can't study scriptures at least study history.And thats what you consider justification? What the fuck? How could anybody respect such a disgusting book.
Yes that happened in the past but thats why we move on. Now throw out the fucking bible and move on.

I received several whippings as a child, and I can assure you, if it had not be for that punishment, that I now know was done because I was loved, I would have been in trouble all my life. So if it has done no other any good it did for me, and I'm glad to have grown up to be a responsible adult.Okay so as long as they don't die its all good? Thats completely fucked up. Once again archaic book with archaic morals.. Disgusting.
You should grow-up and become a responsible adult, here's for hoping.

This is a sad indictment of your parent's parenting skills and your character.
You have no idea what my parents were like, your disrespect for others shows how badly you listened to your parents. I'm grateful for my parents and their wonderful parenting abilities.
News flash. They weren't so wonderful if they beat you.
They did not beat me, they punished me for disobeying them, they taught me to have respect for authority, something lacking within society today.

I see it the other way around.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
