That's rather pompous of you Vizio, I have 3 children who I've rarely had to even raise my voice with, and none of them act like spoiled rotten brats. They have no examples of rotten adults in their lives to follow suit.

Spare the rod has been taken literally by thousands of Theists, I can post video after video of people actually using rod like instruments striking their kids on here if you need it. I'm glad to see that you don't, but let's not lump all Theists together or paint them with a broad brush, I hear they don't like it.

I don't think of any children as "rotten" for one. Rotten insinuates that child is a lost cause. You can teach your children a lot of lessons by just simply teaching them, it doesn't all come from discipline.

Why do Theists children require so much discipline? I think it tells more about the parent than the children. The parent enjoys being the mini God of the home maybe? Rules the roost? We are all equal at my house, just because some are younger doesn't mean they are any less of person, they just have more to learn. They get equal say in most household decisions, how else do you learn to make them?

But the parents "created" the children and so they own the children as property for their purposes and not the children's ... I heard that is how the logic behind excusing horrible stories about God (or the Gods) being callous goes.

Still, I barely ever hear Christians speaking out against things like this! And when they do speak out, its just talk, they barely even attempt to do anything about it, it's like they have little control of those in their own faction.

Check out this bit of trendy information, there have always been people like this at the various Churches I've been to.

The video is from 2012 but I'm sure a lot of people will relate to the sad presence of this overly-controlling mentality.
