[QUOTE=jjimm] And I am genuinely interested in the large discrepancies between denominations regarding which bits have been overthrown and which remain current. Because there _is_ a huge amount of nonsense in the OT in particular. [/quote] Maybe you could start a thread on it. I’m sure lots of people would be happy to weigh in. > [@](#): > > I suspect “NO” is a bit strong; look to Africa.

Yes, well, I thought **Seven’s** comment was a bit “glib” and I was responding in kind. > [@Sophistry and Illusion](#): > > I dunno. Is wife ‘correction’ a whole lot worse than the view, prominent among many evangelicals and fundamentalists, that wives should be submissive to their husbands? Well, yes, insofar as one encompases physical violence and one does not. If both do, then no, one is not worse than the other, they are functionally the same. But I’ve never understood why saying “this practice is bad” is read as implying that every other practice must be good. > [@Seven](#): > > Sorry. You’re right. I’m wrong. REAL Christians don’t read or own the OT. Islam is bad because Allah says beat your wife and, of course, ALL Muslims beat their wifes. Right, because that’s _exactly_ what I said. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-proper-way-to-beat-your-wife/421390.md?page=2)
