From the online newsletter Church and State: Pat Robertson: Non-Religious Children Should Be Beaten Until They Respect Christian Beliefs:
Somebody take that kid to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline, Robertson advised before predicting that the kid would end up in prison if a strong male figure didnt start beating him right away.
Or.............instead of beating the kid, you could just show him this picture:

He has said beat the wife for disobeying the husband, beat the sons for not being manly enough, keep the lesbians away from the children, especially at Thanksgiving. Why enjoy a nice dinner with family when you can line them up for beatings?

Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it.
