If you or your spouse resorted to spanking past the age of 2 (5 if they're retarded), then you're probably slightly retarded yourself. That or you are lazy. Retarded or lazy or you and/or your child has a learning disability, in which case.. My condolences.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
