Why don't you just continue to defend child abusers?
That's the side I want to be on.
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

You raise a good point here.
I've heard stories of religious extremists in the middle east who cut the clitoris out of infant girls so that they can still reproduce, but they won't enjoy sex. We are all appalled at such brutality, but don't really bat an eye at circumcision.
Obviously, it's degrees of brutality. A circumcised boy really doesn't notice much impact on his life, where one of these girls would notice an incredible impact. But still....
I'll have to think about this one for a while.

Troll, I was the victim of child abuse. If my mother had only told me I was going to hell, I'd probably be a lot better off.

Who's trolling through this thread?
I really wish there was more to this post that I could respond to, but there isn't. Keep trolling, troll. And championing the right parents have to abuse their children.
Give me a break.

YOU are trolling, by posting a bunch of nonsense that you can't back with anything other than your assertions.
YOU are trolling when you make assumptions about people's motives based on your assumptions.
WHY would you assume that I'm an advocate of child abuse, because I called you out (do you even have kids, or are you some socially-disgruntled 15-year-old with nothing to do?) on your opinions on how every child in this world should be raised?

To the Troll (Kemp):
Please post where exactly on any of my 1,000 plus posts on this board, I have advocated child abuse.
I get so sick of these fundie atheists and their extremist views.

What assumptions are you talking about, Troll, and how have I been unable to back them up?

The assumption that I and anyone else who doesn't agree with you advocates child abuse. The assumption that those who choose to lead their lives led by religion are abusing their children.
This is your opinion. Who cares about your opinion? Please go find some teen friends who will validate you.

I don't care to indulge your trollery.
You came trolling through this thread, with little to no substance to offer other than a sarcastic question. So I don't think you deserve the effort it's taking me to type this post, at least as long as you are merely trolling.
I'd bet 50 bucks you haven't even read any other page on this thread.
Shoo troll, don't bother me.
