You should kill your child if he strikes you (Exod. 21:15)
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death
If you work on the Sabbath, you should be put to death (Exod. 35:2)
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death
If you curse, you should be stoned to death (Lev. 24:14)
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Happiness is smashing children upon the rocks (Psalms 137:9)
Happy shall he be,that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Women should be subjugated by their husbands (1 Pet. 3:1)
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

A few days ago we were chatting about worldview, and mentioned the conversation going on over at Friendly Atheist concerning whether or not to fill children’s heads with religious nonsense.
Here’s a response to that conversation from orDover, a former Evangelical Christian turned atheist.
I’d add to this that besides lies not helping children or anyone else deal with death, they also belittle the experience of living. If this is all the time I have with any person, place or thing that I love, then every moment is precious and should be savoured, in case it’s my last.
