• No adult shall hit a child
• No child shall hit another child
• No adult shall hit another adult
• No child shall hit an adult

Tracey mentioned a verse in Psalms, but it actually is in Proverbs.  (We take it as a point of pride that we no longer remember every bible reference!)  Here are verses  in Proverbs, the "wisdom" of Solomon (suggestions?) that justify beating a child:  13:24;  19:18;  20:30;  22:15;  23:13-14;  29:15.  Interestingly, those who embrace these precepts are able to conveniently ignore the absolute COMMAND from God via Moses in Deuteronomy 21:18-21 - if your son won't obey you, you MUST stone him to death!  Just one more example of bible gymnastics.
