The Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church lets you beat your kids.

[Laura07]

Tonight on 20/20 they are supposed to show the beliefs of the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church. Supposedly they condone you beating your kids. From the clip I heard on the commercials the preacher says if aren't leaving bruises, you aren't spanking your kids hard enough. Crazy stuff. Peaked my interest. I set the DVR.

Dan Bishop is the pastor.

Good. Maybe their kids won't be huge pussies like 99% of kids out there now.

Nothing says "I love you" like a bruise that takes several days to heal. ICU is full of kids with parents that care more than the average person.

Watched part of it earlier. They say start spanking the kids at 2 weeks old! WTF! Say leaving a blue bruise beats the devil out & breaks their will so they will conform to the ways of the church.

And because of some crazy people.. all religion must be bad.

[racrguy]

And because of some crazy people.. all religion must be bad.

It is, because it justifies this kind of thought.

Sounds like there are real idiots on both sides of the fence.
