It’s a song Roger Miller made famous; but here are Brooks and Dunn doing it to a fare thee well:

What about domestic violence in societies untouched by ‘evils’ of Christianity?

[dragonblustar]

for giving an award to a South Carolina newspaper for a series on domestic abuse implying that Christianity and the Bible are the sources of the problem.

Meanwhile, the beheadings and female circumcisions continue in the Middle East by the followers of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage....

LOL! A heart-warming story.
Maybe her husband was really one of those 'founding father' Mohammedans that Obama references. And her husband was really talking about the Koran (which instructs the husband to beat his wife), and not the Bible.

I wonder if the Pulitzer Prize Board took a look at rap culture, with its “Shut up b*tch, suck my d*ck” mentality? “Oh, but that’s just MUSIC!”

Pulitzer goes to series blaming domestic violence on Christianity

The Pulitzer ceased to be relevant in any way for me since the pro-sodomy movement has taken over pretty much ALL of the communications, press, news, higher education and government at all levels, domestically and international.

My usual reaction is to avoid it altogether, and when I can't, just to say "So what??

[Conscience of a Conservative]

I actually read through the whole seven-part series, and to say that it "blames Christianity" for domestic violence is....a bit of a stretch. The articles spread plenty of blame around for why South Carolina's rates of domestic violence are so high--the legislature, law enforcement, etc.--but doesn't quite blame religion or Christianity.

The closest the series comes to blaming religion for anything is in a section that discusses why women stay in abusive marriages. There, the article notes that, for many women, the religious vows they took upon getting married make it difficult to envision leaving their marriage, even an abusive one, but that is just one small bit in a very long (and, quite good) series of articles.
