    Excellent. The problem I have is that infants and children being wicked. To me they are made in the image of God.,I was abused and my childhood was stolen. I was kicked and beat with a belt in rage and deep anger. Children need LOVE unconditionally. I don’t believe in corporal punishment as I believe it causes resentment and perpetuates evil. I have seen people whacked and then spread that to their progeny. I believe discipline is guidance. While I don’t believe man is good I know he is made in the image of God. Children behave in ways that are abusive when their legitimate needs are not met. I am much different in my view than the average Christian. Children need mirroring in love and guidance that’s gentle. I will never understand why children who haven’t done a thing to deserve the evil perpetrated upon them receive it. I hear worm theology a form of Calvinism that they are just lucky they aren’t wiped out. If I thought God really was that way I would reject Him. I believe many in the church wanting to discipline children the way many in the church want to do it is a travesty. It’s the macho bologna that many men are taught. My view. I am sure most won’t agree. But worm theology is putrid and if we are mere worms while being made in Gods image what does that say of God.
