"Thank You, Jesus..... May I Have Another?"

Quote:IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - An Irvine couple who suspected their 15-year-old son of smoking turned to a man believed to be relied on in their church to violently discipline children, authorities said.

Fuck's sake:

Quote:Kim hit the child with a metal pole about a dozen times, causing severe bruising on his legs, according to Bachmann. The pole was about an inch in diameter, investigators said.

Any xtians want to try to justify this? I'm supposed to have no moral centre, being seperated from a god and all, and even I know that this is wrong. As do the police, fortunately for society.

(Also re: Min's picture, right foreground - isn't that Kent Hovind? That would actually explain a lot.)


At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm a Christian, and no, I would not try to justify this. The fact that this was considered an option by the parents and others in their congregation is a pretty good indicator as to why the boy was being disobedient, assuming it wasn't all in their heads. This is flat out wrong and it's good that they arrested the guy.

You seem like a reasonable sort....at least to begin.

Of course, these nut jobs can point to your bible for justification.

Quote:Proverbs 13:24

New International Version (NIV)

24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

Then there was this little piece of biblical love, as far as I can make out since withdrawn from sale but who can say for certain how many are still in use out there...





About the only 'good' thing to be said about this is at least it's not made of metal.

You know, we could just forgo the death penalty and lock these douchebags up with all of the murderers. Thunderdome with serial killers and Christians! Nice.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

I'm happy to be considered reasonable! To the point, there is a massive difference between a parent using a certain degree of physical discipline (something that does not cause injury) and a parent hiring some weirdo to cane their child for them. Leaving a bruise is not discipline, it's abuse.

Which is basically trite double talk meaning "Thou shall beat the shit out of your children if they don't place me, the psychiatric case from Galilee, above all else, but I, the psychiatric case from Galilee, hereby absolves myself of any responsibility should blame descend upon you for beating the shit out of your children"

I agree with you, Hoop. Some of your fellow xtians may accuse you of heresy, though.
