Having my parents threaten me with Hell and being kept out of heaven if I didn't eat my peas, etc., I can sympathise with children abused by Christian parents.

Christians do not support parents that emotionally abuse their children. But I guess you might think teaching a child about their families religion is abuse. And to the person who had parents that told him was going to hell for not eating his peas...his parents were just ignorant. I had Christian parents, and grandparents, and they never said anything like that to me when I was growing up. They were very loving, and the only spanking I ever got was a couple of pats on the rear, for crossing the street alone when I was four.

I don't support Christians that emotionally abuse their children. I do not try to judge their lives. If I see a child abused it upsets me and I try to help the child if I can. Jesus would not approve of abusing children. If they abuse their children they will answer to god for their wrong. This does not mean they are truly Christian's and this does not mean they are not. They may not even be aware that they are emotionally abusing the child. We need to pray for them and try to help the child if we know this for sure. If we are not sure we need to mind our own business.

Boy that is a new one !! Where in the world did you get that question ? Christians are good, caring parents unless your speaking about your own. Do you have parents that did that to you ? Abuse is abuse and I firmly think your question does not have good foundation.

I would call attention to any abuse I witnessed. I do not think it is any less damaging to belittle a child than it is to smack one in the face. I taught in a preschool for 10 years and I still hold onto my obligation as someone who knows better and is a child advocate to report physical abuse or neglect and to try to help parents to cope with their children in a less abusive environment.

Because emotional abuse is part of the Christian theology. Think about it. The bible is constantly telling people that they are just lowly pathetic creatures that have no value except through the grace of God. If you did this to your children wouldn't it be considered to be a form of mental/emotional abuse?

Uh, yeah... there needs to be a point of reference, examples given...
What situations do you have sources for or knowledge of that suggest a person has condoned emotional abuse because of their religion?
I can think of some examples myself... but I don't know what it is that YOU are talking about specifically.

it extremely is extremely abuse. i think of you ought to record it, however the government can no longer do something approximately it. i think of that's because of the fact he's not bodily hurting them or putting them down, yet he's coaching him the procedures of a faith he believes in. Or his interpretation of it. It happens continuously. that's quite shameful to make every physique experience like they are below somebody else. I grew up i an fairly non secular relatives, and my mom made us visit the temple and do prayer and holy activities continuously. I grew up resenting all of this, because of the fact i grew to become into compelled to. i could on no account love something that compelled me to be distinctive and uncomfortable. i think of this could ensue to those ladies. it extremely is extremely no longer Christian, in spite of if that's abuse. he's taking benefit of religion and menacing his youngsters. i wish you will discover them back some day, or understand of the place they are. Be advantageous and tutor them how distinctive existence extremely is. you're able to try this throughout your own, and supply them a sprint happiness that they are for sure no longer experiencing now.

the children that were physically abused by the churches, were also mentally abused.
don't ask the church to help, because the abuser will make the abused feel guilty!
