They are way off base on scripture (a rod is for guidance, not beating, shepherds would guide their sheep with a rod, not whack them over the head and numerous other scripture twisted and taken to fit their concept of child rearing.)<br /><br />On a side note, yes TX is part of the Bible belt, but it is not the only state where corporal punishment is still used. I remember (I'm from TX) having my parent's sign a slip at the start of the school year that gave permission to spank. But I rarely needed it :)liese4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-2439015745482267852011-05-11T23:14:22.669-04:002011-05-11T23:14:22.669-04:00We all meet tons of annoying adults on a daily ba...We all meet tons of annoying adults on a daily basis: customers, colleagues, neighbors, drivers. And somehow we manage to deal with them and not hit them. Why can't the same courtesy be extended to little children who can't even defend themselves?Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-29578522943075506662011-05-11T23:00:45.947-04:002011-05-11T23:00:45.947-04:00And nobody is even trying to suggest that beating ...<i>And nobody is even trying to suggest that beating people is not OK.

Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go” which strict Christians interpret as beat the hell out of the kid. This is actually a faulty translation of the original Hebrew, “חנך לנער על פי דרכו chanoch lannaar al pi darco, (Initiate the child at the opening (the mouth) of his path.)” There is no implied corporal or any other punishment in the original text. If you really want to have a good idea of how far some of these people go then read the page at:<br /> <br />http://www.gospeltruth.net/children/pearl_tuac.htm<br /><br />It’s from a Christian (?) book for raising children by Michael and Debbi Pearl called “To Train Up a Child” and I hope it doesn’t put you off the rest of your evening.Northern Gaijin 北外人https://www.blogger.com/profile/06714062070032658416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-50625423432966058842011-05-11T20:23:31.633-04:002011-05-11T20:23:31.633-04:00I think this is an important reason why college st...I think this is an important reason why college students act out so much in LA.
