Proverbs13:24. The whole chapter is basically pro-blindly doing as your told, anti-unbeliever and anti-getting money except anyway but labor.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
I thought I'd point out the fact that the exact phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" is not actually in the Bible. I referenced it because it was always thrown in my face by Christians. However, whenever they said it to me and my husband, they would always mention Proverbs13:24 and sometimes...
I can't quite believe I'm reading this: (from your link)
"Proverbs 23:13
Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Proverbs 23:14
Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol."
Apparently this isn't physical abuse.
But it's a very popular sin among Christians.
Or possibly....you can't speak for all Christians,
many of whom believe that corporal punishment
is very Christian.

In New Zealand it has been illegal to strike a child since 2007.
Many Kiwi parents still consider smacking as acceptable
The law has made a difference but it still doesn't stop many parents using physical discipline regardless.

I think different religions have different effects.
Your religion may guide you away from striking your children, but I can't count how many times I've heard Christians quote Proverbs13:24 ("spare the rod, spoil the child").
And at a societal level, there's the issue of power. Secularism is a...
Great job writing all that and entering the fray! So far, you're the only one who has done so! Congratulations and I find it very noble, for indeed, if one has the right way, how cruel is it not to share it, and furthermore, how poor a soldier is one who doesn't even stand up for what they think...
