Spare the rod...

I have always been a bit bewildered by the fact that so many on the Christian Right (and even some centrists) seem so intent on following a warmongering path so very much unlike what I imagine Jesus would have supported. WWJD if he were running the country and how would he have responded to 9-11? To me, this has always been at a disconnect with what has so often spewed from their mouths in what essentially boils down to "kill em all in the name of Jesus [1]."

Well, if you are as confused as I and would like to gain some insight, now is your big chance! I suggest you check out this [2] group who provide tools [3] for the home-schooling of your Christian child. I especially urge you to check out their special "chastening instrument [4]" and and free "Spanking Paddle [5]" complete with biblical justification [6] for violence and some prescribed "swatting" guidelines:

1 Swat	2 Swats	3 Swats	4 Swats	5 Swats
• Disrespect	• Cursing	• Cheating • Lying • Direct Defiance	• Stealing	• Endangering someone's safety. • Taking Drugs • Smoking • Drinking

Calibrating your paddle:
Before applying paddle to a child you should determine the force of your swing.
There is only one way to measure effectively - swat yourself on the rump and adjust your swing appropriately.
