Under God's law, parents are supposed to kill their children. Not to do so is a breach of the law.
Humans have such more civilized standards on how to deal with unruly children. Timeouts, send them to bed without deserts, or even spank them is nothing on stoning them to death!
You are wrong, I've explained this a number of times, and yet you refuse to listen, you do as you claim Christians do.
Yes, you've "explained" it. That doesn't change the fact of what is in your holy book. It says unruly children are to be put to death - by stoning - throwing rocks at the bound victim until he or she is dead. It's hard for me to imagine a crime a child could commit which would warrant the death penalty - and a death penalty meeted out in such a cruel, torturous fashion.
Civil laws of most countries do not permit such a thing.
