What are they?

Abusive parents make a child feel worthless and that every bit of abuse heaped on the child is completely the child's fault. The child will protect the parent if questioned, as the child does not want to displease the parent in any way. They spend their childhoods and adulthoods trying in some way to please the parent, as they believe that if they just did that, all would be well.
This sets the child up to perpetuate this abuse to others as he/she becomes the adult... the child emulates the behavior of the abusive parent.
Do I really need to show the parallels in that?
Biblical god says "you are all sinners, worthless without me." "You cannot do anything to please me other than what I tell you and damn if I didnt have to go and send my only son to save your sorry asses too." "I'm going to punish you for all your sins against ME".. "If things are going bad in your life, it's because of your sin against ME."
"Emulate ME"..
Christians, " we are all sinners.. we can't live up to God's expectations of us, but it's our fault.. we're BORN this way" "our only hope to please god is to do things his way.. accept his sacrifice for our sinning ways" "God is perfect in every way so he must be right. We have no right to question him at all"
"We must emulate HIM"
Enough said.. another good one Jack. 10 pts from me.

There are many parallels. Read Michael Persinger's "Neurological bases of God-beliefs". A New York library has a copy of that book. I've read it. It's also availbale at Amazon.com. See also: http://primal-page.com/p-feardi.htm

People with abusive gods like Jehovah and Allah tend to be abusive parents. This is why medivial christians were very abusive parents, and fundamental muslims are also very abusive parents.
I believe that child abuse in all of its forms is the root cause of humankind's problems. This is something I feel very strongly about. Care to discuss? email : mlxqbhaket@yahoo.com

What I tend to see is a parent who lays down rules and consequences and then has the integrity to do exactly what he says.....that is not abuse.
Thanks for the thumbs down....I expected that...the question was not really looking for discussion or other view points. It had an agenda to rally your troops to make you feel better and to gang up...you do not know what my opinion is on the matter, but, you played into my actions just as predicted.

They both seem to have a fondness for beating up on children.
