So dick slapping is acceptable? What if you're the same sex?

According to your Babble, stoning's right and proper too. Hold still.

well, fuck you too bitch. Tell me that to my face. I went to bed WAY too many nights with welts from my father's belt. Physical 'discipline', the way my parents and other fundie parents I know used it, IS abuse. There is no excuse for it. It is a 'simple' solution for parents who don't want to spend the time to figure out how to deal with their kids. In my case rational discourse would have worked better from the age of 5 on then blistering my ass ever did.

Either you have a REALLY stiff belt, or you're talking a lot of crap.

So, when you do something wrong, can we bash you in your head with an iron rod? Pretty please? Oh, and don't have any kids, it's not nice to take children away from their parents, it's pretty scarring.

Just one more reason to chuck the bible in the trash.

My parents spanked me with a belt when I was a kid, and I turned out OK.
Frankly, it depends on how much metal is on the belt, how many times you hit them with it, and how hard you strike. If it leaves a mark that lasts for more than a few minutes, IT'S ABUSE. If it just stings and turns red for about a minute or so, it's not (although spanking really should be saved for a last resort after timeouts, privilege deprivation, and reasoning with the child have all failed).
And a rod is not a belt. I'm guessing HoneyBee's mother never told her the stories my mother told me--when my mother misbehaved my grandmother sent her out into the yard to "pick a switch," i.e. to pick out a light, whippy tree branch to be spanked with. THAT is the "rod" the Bible was probably referring to.

So if someone "corrects" you by wailing on you for a while, you wouldn't object?

Spanking with a belt is abuse. Spanking with something like that (a rod) by a hate-filled, fundy parent is satanic.
Corrections made, fuckwit. Go shove a rod up your ass, raptureretard honeybee.

And if the children persist in being snotty the Bible says to stone them to death.

That depends from state to state, I live in a spanking right state and my children get it when they are bad.. one of the problems in this country is that the parents let the kids run all over them. MANY times I have seen kids talk TRASH to their parents because they know the parents arent going to do anything to them for it. My kids would NEVER think about doing that to me.

No one at RR is up for any parenting awards, I'm quite sure, so forgive me if I don't take your advice.

So, it's OK because it's in the Bible, like say, slavery, genocide and murder.

Smashing your child's head into a rock is also Biblical?

im pro spanking
i think it can be an effective way to deal with a troubled child who wont respond to other forms of punishment.
so long as its always used as a last resort.
but spanking with a belt is abuse

Well, if the bible says it's okay, it has to be fine.
Now hold still, I'm aiming a brick.

abuse is fairly subjective, and has as much to do with the results as the action. let us say instead that it is violent, unnecessary, cruel, and wrong. that should cover it.

So, beating your child with a belt is a much better solution then actually spending time with them. Well I suppose it makes sense if your in a marriage where the husband does all the decision making and the wife is too scared to get a divorce because she doesn't want to go to hell.
