Kill 'Em With Kindness

There's a "virtuous woman" who believes that child abuse is going to save her tiny tot's soul for all eternity. Please read and, if you agree that this is tragic, comment on her blog in a non-alienating way so we can perhaps help at least some people see just how atrocious this sort of behavior is. Please don't engage in any of the "other side's" baiting tactics. Keep it civil and sane and eventually we'll get the message across to ... well, at least one person would be a victory, wouldn't it.

I posed the following question, which I hope someone will answer:

"A question for the religiously-inclined: If this lady was an atheist telling her child she was born evil and awful would THAT be abusive? Honestly, take religion out of the picture and it’s just as bad. It just so happens that religion gives the majority of people an excuse for this sort of atrocious behavior."

If anyone can answer this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
