Obvious troll is obv... *reads comment above* Yeah, Paler_Face, they'd probably call it "the one true Word of God Almighty and all his Shiny Angels" or "the true and authorized Word of a sixteenth-century English king". Or something.
Sadly, no. TwinCrier is absolutely for real. She is the sort of fundy that created the need for Poe's law...she is not a Poe herself.
And, we studied this verse in my Hebrew class. Mistranslation. It is not an instruction to raise a child in any particular way, and the phrase "he should go" is not present in the Hebrew. It is a warning, not an affirmation, closer to "Train up a child in his own way, and *even* when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Basically, it is saying to raise your child, because if you let him raise himself any way he likes, he'll never learn otherwise.
This sounds sarcastic, especially with a bible reference. True fundies rarely give references in the bible to back themselves up, just say "READ IT"
Note: what the hell is a Poe? I see the label all the time and have found no reference to its meaning.

There's nothing too awfully fundie here. It's basically sound parenting/training. That's why I'm trying to teach my 8 year old about critical thinking, logic, and rationality.
Praise God for intolerant right-wing indoctrination!!!!
Are we sure that this wasn't posted one of our type just screwing around with the heads over at "CF"?
I always loved that verse growing up.
PS: The way he should go is being nice to others, not hiding away and being a bigot to those you don't agree with.
"Praise God for intolerant right-wing indoctrination!!!! clap"
Praise God for disturbing honesty!!!! gonorrhea
Praising God for indoctrination ...and the Clap?!
