<sigh>

How did I know this was the reaction that would happen once the Bible was mentioned?

I'd venture to say that a vast majority of "Bible Thumper" raised children were raised by parents who did not take ALL the wisdom into account. All they look at is the "spare the rod, spoil the child" stuff. They sadly miss parts like...

Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, lest they be discouraged."

This means that parents should be easy to please. Do not set unrealistic expectations. Push them to be their best, but do not punish them if they do not succeed. The goal is a responsible and caring adult, not a sports star, etc. Let the child be themselves. DO not live YOUR life through them.

I could go on... But I know it won't matter to most of ya.
