That's a really well-written article and he makes excellent points! I enjoyed reading it but I've decided not to post it because of this sentence: "In fact, mostly, I suspect, we hit children simply because we can." While I understand where he's coming from I don't believe that is true of most people who spank because they believe the Bible says to do so. I hated spanking my children but I believed if I stopped I was disobeying God. Most, if not all, of my acquaintances who still spank would fall in the religious category. It seems like this article would be really helpful for secular spankers though.
Thank you for sharing that!
