My grasp of my own christian faith is vague at best but I believe in the old testament we were encouraged to take slaves and beat children, while killing any that touches their own mother or father on a sunday was seen as righteous, or it was blessed to be the table knocker overers in the money lenders trade that wear pig skin gloves to get stoned with hookers in temples....or something. All religions have little bits in them that are plainly insane in the membrane and should be frowned upon by all rational minds. Even those happy go lucky asian religions that worship elephants and weird shit like rats and that follically challenged morbidly obese dude, must have bits about them that makes the average Paciderm worshipping, fat bloke rubbing, rat botherer cringe.
But..bottom line, wife beating is just shithouse.
