crazy christians

Just when I think Christians couldn’t get any more bat-shit-crazy, I stumble across this most excellent website.

Christian Domestic Discipline (which, incidentally, is a fantastic name for an indie band) is described as:

A domestic discipline marriage is one in which one partner in the marriage is given authority over the other and has the means to back the authority, usually by spanking.

A Christian Domestic Discipline marriage is one that is set up according to Biblical standards; that is, the husband is the authority in the household. The wife is submissive to her husband as is fit in the Lord and her husband loves her as himself. He has the ultimate authority in his household, but it is tempered with the knowledge that he must answer to God for his actions and decisions. He has the authority to spank his wife for punishment, but in real CDD marriages this is taken very seriously and usually happens only rarely. CDD is so much more than just spanking. It is the husband loving the wife enough to guide and teach her, and the wife loving the husband enough to follow his leadership. A Christian marriage embodies true romance and a Christian man a true hero.

Not known for their tolerance (Christians, that is) they reveal the areas in which they prefer not to intrude:

Spanking of Children:
We will leave this to other folks to argue over.

Best to avoid that topic. Beating your wife is clearly sanctified, but we’re not sure, yet, whether you should beat your kids - that’s up to you (although if the Bible is inerrant, there’s a lot of ambiguous treatment of children therein. Yes, Abraham, I’m looking at you!).

We are not interested in arguing, debating, or justifying our lifestyle.

just promoting it, then! Nutters. :)

So just in case you were in any doubt:

In CDD, the husband has authority to spank the wife.
The wife does not have authority to spank her husband.

I mean, if you’re going to canonise a bit of SM (and why not?) wouldn’t it be more fun with a bit of two-way action? Probably why Ted Haggard had to look elsewhere for a little *slap and tickle*.

They’re funny. Type-O Negative said it best.

update: I just can’t get enough of this site. There’s a blog, in which I found this comment:

I am woman ,and I am single ..and I know I need discipline! Is there any wife out there that will allow their husband to bring me in line with your teachings?? I would want the wife to be there of course.

Consider me corrected (and very nearly converted). These (g)od-botherers must really know how to party.
