“My kids turned out great” is NOT a response, certainly not a rebuttal, of the research. It’s like saying, “Economists say that the minimum wage destroys jobs. But that’s bunk, because I have a job.”
I was responding to your “fringiest of snake handlers” comment about children being taught that they are going to hell! I think the article begs the question since it is apparent based on the decline of our nation that not many children are being disciplined anyway...spankings, scoldings or otherwise! The researcher already had an agenda and her methodology was shaped by her agenda! The question for Christians is can we begin to learn to stand firm against what is an all out onslaught against Biblically based morality based on the laws given to us by our transcendent Triune God? Science can make bombs but reason alone cannot create morality!
