Good Christian morality entails biblical encouragement to beat one's
child with a rod, I see.

Please, may I be spared encounters with good Christians.

Let's end right now the insidious doctrine that beating a person –
metaphorically or otherwise – is ever acceptable in this forum. If that
contradicts anyone's good Christian morality, then good Christian
morality is dead wrong and needs to be rejected.
