I was reading an article on Yahoo about laser attacks on planes and the demographics of the attackers were young males (specifically teenagers) from 15-24.
I saw in the comments some people saying they should be punished by the law, and one comment was saying 'Spoil the rod, spare the child, spare the rod spoil the child.'
Now I understand sometimes tough punishments are necessary on children, but the fact is, the people making these claims don't really care about religion as much as their need to justify something they see as wrong.
The people who talk about this are almost living their life in a way that is against the Bible. About 70% of Americans claim to be Christians yet 95% have had premarital sex? What sense is that?
It seems that people a fair percentage of Christians are 'Swaying' Christians who don't really live their life for God and instead use religion whenever it suits them. They will be against gays because its a sin, threaten hell for unbelievers people who make them feel bad, advocate for strong punishments for those who make mistakes but continue to sleep with everyone, get wasted, live in ignorance etc
Yesterday - in the News - they showed a demonstration in Texas AGAINST three buses of underage children who were being taken to be processed.
And the Newswoman talking about it quoted the "bible"
I was hungry and you refused to allow me food
I was thirsty - and you forced me to stay on the bus and get thirstier
I was homeless - and you turned me away
Amazing how the quote from the bible are used to fit the subject
