Have You Been Biblically Parented?

Want to get mad, very very mad? Click here to read what Liz has to say about the new form of child abuse. I shouldn’t say “new”: it’s an ancient art of cruelty. Of course, like all New Age and Fundamentalist approaches to living, it fails to recognize that not all that is old is good. Just as MRI resonance scans grant us a more accurate picture of the body than kundalini points, so, too does modern parenting turn out better adults than the home as torture chamber practices of the control-obsessed and violent.

When I was young, my family used to torment me with the line “Suffer the little children come up to me”. I don’t think the apostles formed a gantlet and whacked them as they went to talk to Jesus for awhile.
