Actually, I teach a Human Growth and Development class, and we have studied Baumrind's parenting styles. What you are talking about here is called Permissive parenting, and it's not good for the kids.

perhaps you misunderstood my "yes"
if my child is not happy with the guidelines i set and they tell me they hate me for it, then i suppose i set out a standard by not giving into their whining...
i will not retaliate when they are speaking from emotions of frustration,
ok freud?

Is it that difficult of a concept that magically creating a fire in which your son/daughter will burn eternally because he didn´t follow your advices is WRONG?

Is it THAT difficult to grasp? REALLY?

Is not much about arguments, what is missing here is having a little heart. Not a big one, no, just a lttle one is enough.

Yes God is indeed a good parent.....

When he finds that you're gay he blugeons your head with big freggin rocks (Sodom & Gomorrah). If you eat the wrong fruit, he kicks you out of his garden so we know he gets P.O'd when he farms and you mess with his fruits

Is it that difficult of a concept that some Christians don't believe in this nonsense?

Apparently it is for some.

and one wonders why one would defend it?

I'm not defending the concept of a burning hell. I'm defending the idea that the God LDS worship is a good parent. Lumping LDS in with other types of Christianity who believe in crap like a perpetually blazing volcano made just for sinners will not frame a counterargument. It will just make you look ignorant of the LDS.

You've got a lot of guts arguing for a holistic view of parenting, insofar that you ignore 90% of scripture to make your argument. When you explain how to reconcile all the scriptures that say God loves us with the few that imply God doesn't, I'll start taking your evaluation seriously.

Perhaps YOU misunderstood your "yes." You said you'd pay the kid on the head and say "that's okay." At least that's what you were agreeing to.

ok freud?

Geez, are you trying to display your ignorance of psychology as well? Freud had nothing to do with parenting styles, and little to contribute to modern psychology. :no:

love is patient love is kind and love forgives and doesn't keep any record of wrong it hopes and endures.. it has no boundaries
if you provide a passage in the bible that says god has faith in our capabilities as a parent would or if you can find a passage in the bible that would say our regret is sufficient for learning from our mistakes and if you can fin a passage that says he lets go and lets us decide without any recourse then i will concede...

Webster's dictionary says "evil" can also mean harmful, injurious, unlucky or disasterous.

and of course everyone is evil...
:facepalm:
it is no wonder one would think that...being told one is innately evil over and over again, one will begin to believe it...you should know that.

Why does it have to be the Bible? I'm defending the God I believe in, and I don't just learn about Him from the Bible.
