    Seeing only two groups with a majority against corporal punishment, one by only a slim margin, is certainly depressing…

    I wonder if there’s any particular reason why Jewish people are more averse to corporeal punishment than others? Don’t suppose any can offer some insight?

    It’s worth noting that one can be Jewish and a nonbeliever at the same time.

              I understand that, but if someone says they are “Jewish by birth and nonbeliever by belief,” I would think they would be in the ethnic group but not the religion, as opposed to someone who does also practice the religion.

                The confusing part is, being part of the religion doesn’t necessarily mean you believe in God. Especially in the liberal denominations.

                  That makes sense, personally I would consider nonbeliever to be only people who don’t follow any religion, but I can see how it is more up to interpretation.

      It wasn’t until my late 20s that I learned how “relaxed” Judaism could be. I hadn’t thought you could be part of a religion yet a nonbeliever at the same time.

    I’ve never understood disciplining kids with physical violence. If a cop pulled you over for going 10 over, and her first response was to slap you in the face, or put you over their leg and spank your ass, I’d be appalled. I dunno why being a kid would make it any different.

      Seeing how incredibly reckless some people drive (risking the lives of others!), I am not sure if I would be against a punch in the face. Maybe not the best example.
