"And spanking IS sexual abuse.

"While the buttocks is not a sexual organ, it is a sexual part of the body, similar to women’s breasts. Children are not sexually mature, but that does not mean they are incapable of feeling sexual sensations. Spanking can greatly interfere with a child’s sexual development, modesty, and their understanding of bodily autonomy. Spanking an adult would be considered a sexual offense and it should be the same for children.".

This is just an opinion piece. I read a much better piece about it before, but I'm having trouble tracking it down.

I don't necessarily agree that spanking is always sexual abuse, but there are accepted practices in modern evangelical Christianity centered around spanking that very much are.

Where will you be? The Maiden Tower in Baku is neat

I read the Bhagavid Gita, the Upanishads, and a couple of different Buddhist texts. I think there's a lot of very interesting things there, but I'm very very distanced from it both culturally and as an atheist. It might as well be Greek mythology to me.

I got introduced to it through white-people yoga, and tried to back-fill the real details with my own research. I'm very interested in ancient cultures and writing, and there's a lot of that there.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your perspective! From my view, Christianity has a pretty oppressive institutional function currently. I think there are interesting cultural/historical bits there, but I similarly don't fuck with it.

You're incredible!

Yup, I'm on here a lot, but I still find good things that I've missed out on!

Yeah, thanks for resurrecting it!
