Reply #12: I Got Beat By The Belt All The Time As A Kid.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

Had nothing to do with religion either. Just had to do with parenting at the time. Several times a week we'd get whapped with the belt from my father, and he'd terrify ya with that snapping sound the belt would make when he looped it end to end and pulled it inward and outward to let ya know he was on his way to whap ya LOL. That wasn't so bad though. After the divorce, when my mother became a complete and utter psycho, I didn't just deal with the belt, I dealt with the buckle of the belt. That was worse. But it had nothing to do with fundies, florida, the bible, or anything else. Back then parents simply got away with using the belt (though even then I'm pretty sure the buckle would've still been abuse lol). Thing is, I bet a bunch of us here got whapped with the belt as kids, for religion or not.
