Christian Child Rearing in Texas

Recommended Posts

There is nothing in the news stories that I've read to show that the father is a Christian, or that Christiantiy had anything to do with this. Nor that child-beating is somehow unique to Texas Christians in particular.

All your headline demonstrates, once again, is your personal bigotry towards Christians.

You don't think Christians will come to his defense? The bible does have something to do with it, don't you think? While child rearing advice from the bronze age is tempting for me, I think I'll pass.

a. jclalor, there's nothing saying that he did it "in the name of Christ" or anything like that
b. John, he's from Aransas Pass, Texas, and he's a judge. WTF do you THINK he is?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

So the title of the OP means nothing then?

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

That's what the a. was for -- yeah, it's likely he's Christian, but it's probably incidental. That's why that point was addressed to him.

Being a Christian and doing bad things doesn't make them Christian things to do, any more than being a Muslim and doing bad things makaes them Muslim things to do.

Assumptions are great

Nicely done

And on another note

The author of the OP has a known reputation as to his disdain for those who believe in Jesus

Also, nobody here gives a criminal a pass, regarless of their religion

That seems to be a lame link as well


But, I guess he is from where you say he is, and it is a religous part of the country then we should all blam the dam christians

How much are you willing to wager that the main argument in his defense, by him and his community, will not be biblical?

When you do bad things, and not only can you cite scripture to back you up, but you also have the support of your religious community, the injustices are just continued to be perpetuated.

I haven't seen any stories saying either that he's using scripture, or that he has the support of his religious community in having beaten his daughter.

Cites?

Note: my skepticism is NOT to be construed as support, for child-beating, evangelical fundamentalism, or judges in general:P.

Child beating is done more frequently in Texas then any other state. 50,000 times a year by teachers. But the shocking thing is it's done by Government employees. The ones you guys claim are way to inept to do anything, outside of beating your children.

Gee, wonder where good old Pat Robertson will end up on this one.

Give it a day or two and the Christian fundies will be out in full force defending him and decrying the internet as a tool of Satan.

Personally I like a good spanking, God only knows how much I have spent... But I digress.

50,000 times a year, a child in Texas is beaten by a teacher? How strange, we only hear of one judge here, beating his daughter with a belt... 7-years ago!
From my search, corporal punishment in schools in the 19 states that allow corporal punishment, there has been a drastic decline since 2004. As of 2007, 1.1% of students in Texas have met with some form of corporal punishment. Texas has also shown a drastic increase of school districts to abolish corporal punishment.

Please, provide a post that backs your insinuation that John has made bigoted posts.

If you cannot do this, they you owe him an apology.

Defining bigotry as prejudice against color, I can't remember a single post (or opinion) of John's that would qualify.

However, he's kind of a one-song bird when it comes to guns and England :ph34r:

Why restrict it to color, as opposed to gender, age, religion or sexual preference?

Because that's one of the definitions. The primary Webster definition is
Quote

a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices



There is an especially in there,
Quote

one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

.

Personally, I don't prefer the narrower definition. But if it gets my point listened to, then I'll use it.

Stating the goals of the Nation of Islam (your first link) is bigoted, now? Posting a news story about Al Quaeda operatives being sentenced is bigoted, now?

Interesting interpretation you have of the term....but perhaps you should learn what it *actually* means before you use it.

If you read some of the comments, you'll see exactly why it's bigoted. Sorry I don't have the time to clear it up for you.

Sorry, the evidence doesn't hold up to scrutiny. He sets NOI and AQ apart from Muslims as a whole.

Shall we compare/contrast to your comment about Christians and their "open mouth(ed) gaze following happily along"?

But yet you had time to look up and post all those links? Sorry, not buying that one either.
