Hmmm... except for the last one, are you sure those others appeared in the bible or were tenets of the Christian ideology? I'm not sure if they were just merely cultural attitudes you're referring to....

as for the disciplining the child issue, I would never do that to my child but shouldn't a parent have the right to take away the life of his/her child, considering that they gave him life in the first place?
