Sorry but I don't think this is a religious issue. It is not moral to beat children with a plastic rod. Personally I think that beating a child is the act of a bully. I'm not saying don't discipline .. there are better ways.

There is not excuse for being *proud* of beating a child.

[From many - one.]

Good for you. I agree completely that it is not moral to hit a child

There are too many people who feel intimidated about saying that.

But the hittrs provide their own evidence just by denying any possiblity that there might be a better way. They _want_ to hit their kids. Otherwise there would be at least some sincere questions as to how non-spankers succeed...a real search for alternatives.
