Educated Fools (people with degrees and no connection to the Creator ) can't distinguish between an abusive, hate-filled parent and a parent who loves their children enough to enforce boundaries.

No Christian is in favor of abusive treatment of anyone, especially children.

Physical discipline done to enforce a boundary typically does not have to be repeated often.

Verbal threats and short time-outs have to be repeated over and over again, confusing the child about the seriousness of the boundary.
