"Officials: Calif. Parents Asked Man to Beat Child"

Religious parents. Today, California, not 2000 or 1000 years ago.

1. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Kim hit the child with a metal pole about a dozen times, causing severe bruising on his legs, according to Bachmann. The pole was about an inch in diameter, investigators said.

The Pearl method?

4. Yes, those not-so-religious Pearl folks.....making hundreds of thousands of dollars

selling books about discipline and home schooling to hundreds of thousands of Christians throughout the world, responsible for several child deaths in the past few years.

THOSE PEARLS!!!!!!!!!!

2. Put the parents in jail too.

They got somebody (did they pay him?) to abuse their child. Are you freaking kidding me? Lock 'em up! WTH were they thinking?

5. "relied on in their church" This is what "church" ...

does to people.

Where are those apologists when we see headlines like this?

Why do they waste time accusing atheists of being Pol Pot reincarnated when these psychopaths are within their own churches?

Do those religious believers all fail to see that the same crowd psychology that brought Hitler and Stalin into power is the same crowd psychology that allows stuff like this kind of cruelty and abomination to happen thousands of times over in so-called "Christian" churches in America today?
