Does anyone actually believe that it's a Christian thing to beat their children and keep them in cages? Someone just asked if Christians beat their children and one answerer said she heard some keep their kids in cages.
Do people really believe this? I realize these things happen (which is sick and wrong), but do people actually believe that this is done just by some Christians and no other people of other faiths or Atheists?

SDC: We saw that Dr. Phil special last week I think, perhaps they are reshowing it again. It was horrible to watch, seeing the conditions that poor child lived in.

People who would say that are either completely ignorant, but most likely wanting to jerk chains, hoping they will offend or irritate people. Just let it roll off. Anyone can beat their kids...a TRUE Christian would not, but these days anyone can call themselves a Christian.
edit: I have to respond to LetsTorque's statement...I can honestly say that I do not condone the murder of any doctor who performs abortions. Two wrongs do not make a right. I want to make my views public on that matter. Any so-called Christian who thinks it's okay to murder someone who performs abortions is not really a Christian, plain and simple. Those are the people who give Christians a bad name and it's a shame that non-Christians can't tell the difference...maybe that means the 'real' believers need to step it up a little and prove themselves in this doubting world.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now...didn't mean to deflect from the original question.

The term "Christian" is a label that describes an extremely diverse portion of America's population. It is always a big mistake to generalize about "Christians". I am sure that there are some Christians who think they are doing the right thing by locking their kids up in cages or closets as a form of discipline, but they would be wrong. I think that most all of us would agree on that.

I would have to be possessed by the devil to do any harm to my kids. I am a Catholic and wouldn't dream of doing something so cold hearted to my little boys.
Dr Phil is doing a show called Cage?. Yes with a question mark. A father caged his son for hours per day and let him out for only 1 hour a day. His son peed in a soda bottle and he didn't eat too well. The windows were blocked, so no sun light was able to come in.
It's going to be showing soon... I am just not sure when....??

That is wrong. People who claim to be Christians have done some horrific things in the name of Jesus. I believe that Satan's spirit is leading them into thinking that it is Jesus' wishes.
The spirits must be tested. That is does what they think go along with what God says in His Word, the bible. That certainly would not.
And yes, because the world is full of sinful people, all people of all faiths, do these horrible things.

i know many friends who were beat and they were atheist. i know some christians do. however most christians that i know who do that. i am not talking just a spanking either. that i think is good. but a beating, but the ones that i see do that also are out drinking all week and doing what they want to. they just claim to be christian but not judging seem to not be living a christian life. christians are supposed to be christ like. we do screw up but we try to fix it.

Ridiculous.
There are many crazy sects out there that have absolutely nothing to do with true believers in Jesus Christ.

When a doctor who also performed legal abortions was mudered in the US, no one in the christian community batted an eyelid, so if they can "justify" murder then kids in cages would be a walk in the park.
Fruitcakes, the lot of them..!!
