A couple of fundamentalist Christians beat their adopted 7 year old daughter to death because she misbehaved.

Those people in the video that wrote the book teaching people how beat your kid by the bible's guidelines should be in jail too. This video really made me sick to my stomach, not just because of the brutality, but also because these delusional, stupid hicks thought God wanted them to beat their kids.

Humans can be so goddamn stupid.

Pure insanity. Dark age minds at it again.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Apologies, apparently the child who was beaten to death was Lydia Schatz, not Zariah.

Zariah Schatz was Lydia's older sister, who was also beaten and hospitalized, but recovered from her injuries.

Leave them alone, they have the right to practice their religion as they interpret it!

Sick fucks... Leave them in a room with a bunch of parents and see how long they last.

I ain't one who likes violence at all, but these fucks don't deserve any mercy.

Yes, it turns out the book is still in print. An article on RationalWiki actually compares a passage from the book with a passage from Mein Kampf, and not only that, but Hitler actually looks more sane by comparison. Between this and Amy Chua, I think it's only a matter of time before someone publishes a book which suggests that parents sexually abuse their kids.
