Not gonna answer my question then?

>>what is the bibles punishment for child abuse?<<
Child abuse could take many different forms. Sadly children abuse each other on a regular basis, in today's society. The environment in which we are brought up is extremely important. The large urban sprawls in UK today, are a type of self-inflicted punishment. Most people would prefer to be in a greener, less harsh environment, but alas, it is not easy for most of us to escape from it, due to the financial system.
Ignorance and anger are the main weapons that satan uses to destroy us. Those who are able to control their anger are very fortunate. It is important that "Social Services" monitors those children at risk of abuse from parents or guardians, and remedial action taken, if necessary.
It would be VERY foolish if govt. took children away from their parents for admonishing their children with a slap or small stick. It is forbidden to hit anybody on the face or head, and would be considered an act of anger. The sport of full-contact boxing, is considered in a similar light to cock-fighting, and Almighty God does not like his creatures to try and "knock each others brains out".

Sexual abuse of anyone, especially children, is a major sin, and whipping or death would be prescribed if proved beyond reasonable doubt.

I quite like boxing. I used to do it, and enjoyed it, as did my opponents. What on Earth does it have to do with child abuse?

It's not the most entertaining thing in the world to watch, granted. Especially when it comes over as a stage-managed dance for a mickey mouse title - but is that really a concern for the Almighty God? I'm sure he'd have access to a channel showing synchronised swimming or a home improvement programme if he'd prefer.

yet the ethnic cleansing of Israel after the Jews left Egypt was OK?????

That's different. God told them to that.

God delivered the Jews from Egypt, it would have rude to say 'no' when he asked them to engage in a little genocide.

and Almighty God does not like his creatures to try and "knock each others brains out"

Another example of unintelligent design, then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHowz5HsoL0

Oh warner! What planet are you living on?

If it's simple sexual curiosity, you're referring to - as in the "doctors and nurses" stage, thats just a part of growing up.

Honestly, you do talk an awful load of tosh sometimes, IMO.

Didn't do this yesterday because I didn't actually do anything.

Wrath of Satan update, days 4 and 5:

My preferred football team had a good win, my family and nation are unchanged.

I'll try the denial again, just in case they didn't hear me first time:

The devil doesn't exist, nor does any deity.

*cough*
No diety?; nighthoover did* exist

"Ignorance and anger are the main weapons that satan uses to destroy us. Those who are able to control their anger are very fortunate"

Bollocks.
Its not 'fortunate' its not a devil versus 'good' in us, its jut self-effort, self control.
If anyone, mythical or real thinks they've some kind of contorl overy my actions... I'd like to meet them

Ooo!; good news Satan is back soon, I've heard the trailer, and sounds

"the weackest of people are those who seek explination of their actions which leaves them bereft of responsibility."

There is no god and to think otherwise is quite clearly very silly.

There. Sorted.

As you were.

I have a friend though, he was bitten by god..

Nothing can be greater than an infinite number of anythings - that is the definition of infinite.

"Nothing can be greater than an infinite number of anythings - that is the definition of infinite.

What about an infinite number of slightly bigger things?

They'd both be the same,

ACtually I think it might have been a bad phone line, perhaps he said 'dog'

>> Ooo!; good news Satan is back soon <<

Well, not for another 10 months and 10 days.

I think its on Thursday night coming actually

"What about an infinite number of slightly bigger things?"
They would only be greater in the finite dimensions in which they're slightly bigger by would not be any greater in their infinity for it.

Infinity is bloody weird. Just look at a circle. It has a finite circumference and yet although we normally measure it as having 360 degrees the number of degrees within the circle is actually infinite.

I want an infinate amoutn of beer wouldn I get infinately drunk and have an infinite number of hangovers? that mgiht not be so good... Or would being infinitely drunk mean you never got to the hangover stage

Indeed, you're finite being and the number beers it would take to prove that is certainly a finite one.
But we can dream...

I have a dream.

A dream that one day, one glorious day, oh glorious day, we few, we pissed few, oph glorious day, can, once and for all, oh glorious day, find sufficient beer to be infinite oh glorious days, in our pissedness oh glorious beer
