Some people believe so strongly in it, that they can quote you bible versus that they interpret the meaning to be telling them to do it. Logical discussion does not work with these people. Considering that I feel so strongly against spanking/striking children, I feel that my only solution is to work hard at making it an illegal action in the United States. When it is written into law, that will be the first step at prohibiting this atrocity toward children.

I feel like I am fighting against a tsunami! The responses I get range from, "your sons were different, you'd change your mind if you had MY kids", and, "I was whipped regularly as a child, and I turned out okay" and "I deserved every whipping I got".
