If the bible was AGAINST beating children
Thursday June 07, 2007
Dear Alice,
It is so nice knowing there is someone like you out in the world. Isn’t it so sad that the bible has that “spare the rod” thing in there! What a better world we would live in if the bible was AGAINST beating children… and since there are so many church fanatics, they might have actually listened to what it said, therefore so many kids would have possibly made it through childhood without that kind of abuse… hence a better world.
AM: I agree with you completely. Actually, you succeeded to put my main message into 6 lines, and I hope that you find a way to spread your message widely. I wrote 14 books by now, and it is still unusual that somebody understands these last few words in your letter. What can we do to make clear that by hitting children we are producing abusers?
