Too many to count.
Would it be reasonable to tell an eight year old child: as they get older usually boys like to kiss girls, girls like to kiss boys, less often some boys like to kiss boys, some girls like to kiss girls, some like to kiss both. People have different ideas about what is okay, but in the school setting, we treat everyone with respect?
No, it would not.
Far better if the law said that if a man and a woman are caught having sex outside of marriage, they would be fore
Only teaches rewards and consequences. It does not teach pain.
AKA reinforcement.

We have time out already. It's called prison (time-out for adults). It doesn't work, and is inhumane.
Is cruel, especially to children.
hand over hand techniques, etc.
Only works for teaching people how to do things. It doesn't look like it teaches consequences to actions.
None of the above are proper punishment for misbehavior.
True, the level of abuse made a difference.
I'm not talking about abuse. I'm talking about spanking.
However, spanking alone still had a negative impact.
"Spanking alone" will have a negative impact.
No one has said to "just spank and do nothing else."
In anonymous questionnaires? And, how do you know the truth of the matter?
Yeah. Your point?
Well I'm glad you admit it.
Others I've asked the question to either refuse to answer or outright deny that homosexuals can be pedophiles.
PureX, you need to stop making this accusation. NO ONE HERE IS CLAIMING TO BE GOD.
AGAIN, I said that I quoted Jesus. That's not me claiming to be God. That's me QUOTING God.
No one needs to come to you and repent.
Jesus said otherwise, PureX. Again:
Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” - Luke 17:3-4

He was very explicit that you only forgive someone if they repent.
Forgiving someone when they haven't repented teaches them that they do not have to repent before God for Him to forgive them. It makes forgiveness superfluous.
Thinking we're right doesn't make us right, no matter how intently we think it. And because this is ALWAYS so, my self-assumed righteousness does not EVER extend beyond me. And if I try to force it into the reality of others, I become an agent not only of the abuse of others, but an agent in contention with God, because I am appointing myself God's agency.
Faith is not a process of lying to ourselves until we believe it, by pretending that we cannot be wrong. Because we can, and we very often are. To presume that we aren't would be to adopt a lie as the truth. And to tell others that we aren't is to lie to them. And faith is not the dishonest pretense of our own righteousness.
Hypocrite.
Very doubtful. Besides a one in a million incident with a crackpot teacher, there is no such content being delivered at that age. Get real.
Someone's not paying attention to the news...
Spurious correlation.
The death penalty is not a deterrant for crimes borne of impulsivity and hopelessness.
Uh, yeah it is.
Especially for crimes of impulsivity. "Oh, I feel like going and murdering someone I hate today.... wait, if I'm caught, I'll be publicly executed."
What Nine percent of the population does with there personal lives can not really have a giant impact.
False.
The "point" that God doesn't speak to people anymore.
I can assure you that He does.
Through scripture? Sure. But He doesn't speak directly in an audible voice.
False.
Nope, it is all truly of God.
Thanks be to God we don't live under the Mosaic Law.
Romans 1 is Mosaic Law?
OT punishments by men are now totally in the hands of God.
Romans 1 is in the OT?
In fact, I don't even know if the unbelieving Jews still hold those customs, even though they are still trying to be justified by the Law.
Irrelevant.
I don't believe God has commanded you to put homosexuals to death.
God has commanded that homosexuals who act out their homosexuality be put to death.
There is truly no compelling evidence that God or gods even exist.
There is truly plenty of compelling evidence that God exists.
Deductive reasoning does work.
The Bible is suspect as a source- period.
False - period.
Yet- you act like you have direct knowledge
Because the Bible is true.
and endorse the view that people who commit non-violent transgressions should die.
Not quite. People who commit capital crimes should die, or bear false witness in a capital crime trial.
You are simply a hateful person.
It's more hateful to go along with people's wickedness.
It's not hateful to care about someone's eternal destination.
There is no excuse for you as you are not a doltish simpleton like many who share your interpretation.
Clete is indeed very smart.
