Dude, your comments never fail to expand my vocabulary.

I'm glad to propagate my sesquipedalian manner of speaking.

Somebody call the Sense of Humor police, cuz I found a buzzkill.

I seriously doubt that was the reason why he was grounded, dear.

That is definitely child abuse! But deeply religious parents are sadly known for harsh reactions towards things they deem to be immoral.

Oh for Pete's sake, that's not child abuse. Talk to a few people who were actually abused as kids and you'll see how foolish your comment was. Harsh, yes, but grounding someone for several months isn't abuse unless they're withholding food or something like that. OP will live.

As someone who was abused as a child, that is in fact child abuse. It's an isolation exercise designed to make the child feel lonely and unloved for extended periods of time, most likely causing them to seek validation from their family by conforming to their belief system unwillingly.

He didn't say what he was grounded from. It could just be from electronics. Or sometching similar

I guess it also depends on whether the parents are the type to actually enforce their punishments. I've had friends who'd often get "grounded" for long periods of time, but in the end the parents didn't care about it within a week or two.

As a religious person, I agree.

No one in this century would even be stupid enough to follow THAT law anyway.

No, there are probably some incredibly moronic parents who probably would.

Lots of people are quoting and suggesting everyone should follow Leviticus 20:13 I just like to remind the world about all the other *fun* laws in the same chapter.

My mom hates it when I read Leviticus, but he's my favorite part of the bible. Because the religious people like to pretend his chapter isn't there except for one part of it.

Look up honor killings. Happens all the time. It's happened several times in our own country (USA). as well usually by immigrants.
