Christians: Understand the child abuse that you are supporting

If you are a Christian, thank you for watching this video. In the next few minutes you will come to understand how your support of Christianity is making child abuse possible.

One aspect of fundamentalist insanity is vividly illustrated in this quote, from a book by James Dobson called "Dare to Discipline". If you are a casual Christian, you may have never heard of James Dobson. He is a powerful Fundamentalist leader with a powerful organization and millions of followers. Here is what James Dobson has to say about beating your children:

"The spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely."

Striking a child, and beating a child, is insanity. How do we know this? Simply by replacing the word "child" with a variety of other words, we can clearly understand the insanity of what James Dobson is saying.

"The beating should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the woman to cry genuinely..."

That is insane, isn't it?

"The beating should be of sufficient magnitude to cause your spouse to cry genuinely..."

You would be arrested for striking your spouse, and rightly so.

"The beating should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the dog to cry genuinely..."

Also insane.

"The beating should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the puppy to cry genuinely..."

It doesn't get any better when you beat a puppy, does it? No, it gets more insane. Yet James Dobson advocates beating your own child.

Beating a person - any person - is wrong. Any normal, intelligent person knows that. Beating a defenseless child is insanity. In most sane places, body blows like this would be seen and charged as assault. But Fundamentalist Christians and Evangelical Christians see the beating of children as something good that is commanded by their God. And unfortunately, Christians are a majority in America, so their religious child abuse goes unchallenged. And you see many other examples of Evangelical child abuse. For example, children are routinely denied medical care by Fundamentalist parents.

Are you a casual Christian? Those of us who are sane and rational beg you - please abandon the insanity of Christianity. If you will take any time at all to think about your Christian faith, you will be able to see that God is imaginary The people who follow this imaginary God are, in many cases, quite violent, as demonstrated above. They also tend to be racist, homophobic and anti-science. They are amazingly superstitious, to the point where it is an embarrassment for our nation. Please take the time to read things like Whywontgodhealamputees.com. Give up the delusion of religion and become a rational, thinking adult.

When you, and millions of casual Christians like you, abandon Christianity, Christians will become a minority. The insanity of Fundamentalist Christians and Evangelical Christians will lose the safe harbor that you give it. Our society will be a better place, and millions of abused children will thank you.
