Actually, the Bible tells us to "stone disobedient children" (Deuteronomy 21:18-21). [/QUOTE]No, it told Ancient Israeli society to. Not gentiles like you or I. Certainly not Christians freed from the law of Moses.

It follows I guess, that, as per the biblical promise, honoring you father and mother led to a long life.

I disagree with corporal punishment. I was hit as a child - in anger - and will not hit my children. Didn't read all the argument, as I'm already convinced. I don't know about making it illegal though. Increasing education is probably a better option.
