After reading Marylin's post about 'sparing the rod' I thought you might be interested in this site:

It seems like a lot of different forms of abuse is justified through religion.
Quote from the site:
1989: Bible fanatic Jehovah's Witness Robin Baker who attended church three times a week beat up a mother of three who disagreed with his beliefs. Baker knocked her down, dragged her by the hair and punched and kicked her. The year previously Baker had assaulted a disabled woman. He was sentenced to a year's imprisonment.
OOPS!
I posted this in a hurry because I could hear my wife coming home - didn't realise it was a David Icke site (= complete tosser) and was meant to defend Satanism versus Christianity.
Sorry!
