Religion and Spanking
#1
Religion and Spanking
So I was listening to a TTA podcast and while I think the forum went over this topic a few years ago I thought I'd rehash it. Spanking, right or wrong? You thoughts on spanking as a form of godly discipline? Were you spanked? Did it affect you in anyway? Thoughts in general…

Spanking is a very adverse way of going about discipline. It does not solve a problem whatsoever. Rather, it merely perpetuates the problem.

Personally I was hit exactly six times that I can remember. Each time I was only made more resentful and simply fueled my temper.

Precisely why spanking is not a novel idea.

Oh, THAT kind of spanking.

Never mind. Carry on . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, I was spanked. My parents deny it ever happened now. I don't know if they are lying or delusional. Or (less likely) my memories have become warped.

I've got a lot of issues that are probably from my childhood, it's hard to tell if any of them came from this or not.

I think it's generally a bad idea. I don't have kids (and never will) but I can't imagine I could even bring myself to do it. I don't think it sends the right message.
Feel free to send me a private message.
