The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline. Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents. The death penalty for rebellioius children is not something to be taken lightly. The guidelines for administering the death penalty to rebellious children are given in Deut 21:18-21[...]
This passage does not give parents blanket authority to kill their children. They must follow the proper procedure in order to have the death penalty executed against their children. I cannot think of one instance in the Scripture where parents had their child put to death. Why is this so? Other than the love Christ has for us, there is no greater love then [sic] that of a parent for their child. The last people who would want to see a child put to death would be the parents of the child. Even so, the Scrpture provides a safe guard to protect children from parents who would wrongly exercise the death penalty against them. Parents are required to bring their children to the gate of the city. The gate of the city was the place where the elders of the city met and made judicial pronouncements. In other words, the parents were required to take their children to a court of law and lay out their case before the proper judicial authority, and let the judicial authority determine if the child should be put to death. I know of many cases of rebellious children, however, I cannot think of one case where I believe that a parent had given up on their child to the point that they would have taken their child to a court of law and asked the court to rule that the child be put to death. Even though this procedure would rarely be used, if it were the law of land, it would give parents authority. Children would know that their parents had authority and it would be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents.

And where did you pull this explanation from?
Regardless, you're still advocating that killing disobedient children is/was a good thing.
Is this ballsack actually suggesting that parents kill their children according to HIS recommendations?
Congratulations Mr. Fuqua-you are now on my list of "people that I think would be better off in a landfill".
So you're advocating murder. I can't "WTF" this enough!
Also, his surname looks like a funky spelling for "Fucka". How fitting.
What sort of psychopath would vote for Chuck Fucka?!
ARKANSAS...this explains it all (no offense to the few sane Arkansans...both average schmoes & The Clintons)!
Wanna bet this bozo will practice what he preaches & gets tossed in the slammer?
"This passage does not give parents blanket authority to kill their children."
Well thank goodness for that, for a second I thought you were some kind of infanticidal psychopath.
How much do you want to bet that Fucker is "pro-life"?
Let's be practical here. For this law to have its desired effect, you're going to have to allow the elders to kill a few kids from time to time. Otherwise, the snotheads will just ignore and hate you the way they do now.
Can't wait for the Fuqua kids to write about growing up with this pinhead as a parent, so I can put it on a shelf next to Nate Phelps' book.

Hey, Fuquad, read this:
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
That's John 8; right from the fucking Bible.
You think obedience through fear is a good way to bring up children?
Shut the fuqua up. Again.
Hold on... you are a state representitive?
IMPEACH AT ONCE! IMPERATIVE!
You know nothing of human psychology, do you? Threatening kids with death will not "give parents authority" so much as make kids hate and fear their parents. I mean, if I thought my folks were planning to have me put to death, I might just protect myself by striking first. The will to live is a powerful thing.
Is it just me or is genocide and infanticide starting to become a theme for the GOP? This is bad. For the Republicans, the fringe doesn't stay fringe for long. Before you know it, fascism will have come to America wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
State Rep. Charlie Fuqua, I love and respect you man!
You seems to be one of the few who actually take the bible seriously and try to adhere to all the crazy stuff - good for you!
Of course, you are so off your rockers but hey!
@J. James too late.....

Well, well, between Mr. Russell executing "bad" parents, Mr. Fuqua executing "bad" children, and that person whose name I forget slaughtering "bad" stock generally, we should have a perfect society, shouldn't we? Unfortunately, someone already tried that one out eighty years ago, and in 1945, the experiment was pronounced a flop.
I try to be tolerant of the ideas of others, but this is too far.
I want to punch this person in the face.
"Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents."
A marvelous pro-life, who want to protect the life of the 5 week embryo but want to execute the child once he grows simply because he was a little disrespectful to his parents (or who want to deny him welfare or affordable health care).
Wait, what, this guy is an elected official?!?!
That is not order and discipline, that is terrorism.
It seems to me that where they have the death penalty, there is more violence and murder, than where the death penalty has been discontinued.
Of course if you are going to kill children you may as well cook them and eat them.
I recommend grilling the white ones, and boiling the black ones. Black babies taste great grilled but it is difficult to tell when they are done.

WRONG! Don't *talk* to the kid, have it executed!
"The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline. Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents. The death penalty for rebellioius children is not something to be taken lightly. "
So muslim parents can execute their children if they convert to christianity?
What do you mean that isn't what you meant?
Love me or die ? Thats the teaching of Jesus !
Blood for the Blood God !
And if the 'court' disagrees and does not order the kid killed , what does that do to parental authority ? The laws of the USA now , allows a parent to have a child taken into custody and given up to the state if the parent cannot control the child. That should be enough.
Fuqua ? how do you promounce that ?

"Young man, if you don't go back into that kitchen and eat those peas RIGHT NOW, your daddy and I are so gonna drag your ass out front and beat you to death with bricks. Remember what happened to your brother last year?"
This election has really brought out the crazy, hasn't it?
Nope. Because the kids would go straight to the International Court of Human Rights and appeal to the entire civilised world, which would be against this kind of barbarism. And thus your country, from being a dynamic, forward-looking, freedom-loving place, would begin to have the same kind of reputation as the more backward parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline.
Your initial premise is baloney, so I really don't need to wade though the rest of your crap.
Tempus: This election has really brought out the crazy, hasn't it?
Oh yeah. And I only have so many arrows to fire.
"The death penalty for rebellioius children is not something to be taken lightly."
I agree, killing children should not be taken lightly... or taken at all, you a&&bastard.
"Children would know that their parents had authority and it would be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents."
Again the Fundie jacka&& set forgets that respect and fear are two very different things. Then again, they exist thinkingthey can both truly love and truly fear their God.
6th commandment, bitch! Suck on that, Fuqua (funny how his name sounds so much like what he is)
@ Filin De Blanc: More money than I will EVER make-even if I find a cure for cancer (plus an arm, a leg, a lung, a kidney, an eyeball and an intestine)!!!
I propose a "Life Is Sacred Until Birth" award for Mr. Fuquad...does anyone second it?
"I know of many cases of rebellious children, however, I cannot think of one case where I believe that a parent had given up on their child to the point that they would have taken their child to a court of law and asked the court to rule that the child be put to death."
Well, doesn't that tell you something? You are advocating something no parent would ever do.
Just out of interest, what was the content of your last election manifesto?
Of course many politicians are pretty loathesome individuals, but now they seem to be having some sort of contest to see who can say the most hateful, idiotic bullshit (with a biblical basis).
I'm quite surprised that publicly promoting infanticide isn't illegal. He would find himself in a bit of trouble here in the UK.
@Papabear et al.: The understanding of love such ones have doesn't seem to be all that much more than obsequiousness. Well, obsequiousness from the "lower" part of the lovebond. For the "higher" part, it's paternalization/condescension. Because they're so steeped in hierarchy being the foundation of reality itself, they auto-reject the usual understanding of "mutual respect" as self-contradictory.
Essentially, hierarchy isn't a means to an end such as goal efficiency, in their understanding. The hierarchy IS the end. One doesn't seek a high echelon to get things done so much as to attain the glory one allegedly deserves.
Hi sinner 2309520502750257205702412041ß248ß148 AKA Charlie Fuqua,
you are our hero down here. As everybody who defies what HIS son said e.g. Mk 10,14.
Be assured that you will receive a very special treatment....
CU soon
As an Arkansan, I look at people like the Clintons and say, "We produced some pretty good people, didn't we?"
Then I look at all the assholes like Fuqua. On behalf of all sane Arkansans, I apologize.
I did not think it possible to feel this kind of murderous hatred for another human being. If I simply cease to think of you as human, which isn't hard, then it is still impossible to imagine hating a rabid animal so much as I hate you.
America you have permitted this... thing ... a position in life where it may well be able to enact such horror into law. It is your duty to your children to bitch-slap it into oblivion before it can harm them or anyone else you love.
Advocating.
Killing.
Children.
It does not matter how you dress it up, what florid euphemisms you use to soften the blow, at the end, you are advocating the killing of children for speaking their mind. And you think it's okay. Fuck you very much.
He wants to kill children. You know, "pro"-life.
After all, everybody knows that life begins at conception and ends at birth!
No parent would do this, eh? You obviously never met my mother. She would happily have dragged my ass to the police station and had me killed. She's not unique, either... there are millions of horrible parents out there. Do you really want to give them all carte blanche to murder their kids?
Oh right, I forgot, you don't give a flying fuck! More power for you, that's all you care about, and if saying such horrible things will get you more power from the imbeciles you so ably represent, then all the better!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
