"Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child" is often taken as a license to beat a child. It is unfortunate that the "sheep" that walk in and out of churches half asleep throughout life, take a few versus taught to them by irresponsible leaders, use those written "words" to do harm against defenseless people.

The way I read this "pastor's" comments in response to mine, which were utterly benign by the way, it is still wrong to recommend to parents that they should control the "cuteness" of their children while sitting on offender's laps--I cannot believe I can write that statement correctly...
