Religious entitlement in parenting - what is it?

Most parents abuse children in this country, with 94% of parents spanking and physically battering children, with about 1/3 of cases possibly crossing into illegal territory. Most child abuse today, if not all, is motivated by religion to some degree. My parents never espoused a religious excuse for their punitive authoritative parents, but their methods were religious in historical origin, and extended family members who were more religious made religious excuses. My parents weren't very religious, but believed in God and respected the Bible to varying degrees, meaning the Bible summed up to treat others with respect and serve the community in the public service careers that they held. 

I never experienced direct religious child abuse, meaning religious entitlement imposed on children. My parents simply have encouraged my religious beliefs, and told me interesting biblical facts. My late father went to Catholic school, and there you get a very clear understanding of the Bible and its context, meaning a base understanding to branch out in spiritual growth. Pushing one's religion on a child is sin, meaning the moral crime of religious entitlement leading to religious child abuse.

It says in Exodus 20:17 KJV:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

The Greek root word translated "covet" is למחוד (Latin: lachmod) and refers to parental entitlement, cross-referenced by the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés). Entitlement here refers to religious entitlement, meaning the attitude of "I am the parent" leading to wanting a child to believe the same way you do, to the point of seeking to impose said views onto a child, leading to theft/abuse. It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV: 

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, as this is right. Honor thy father and mother, as this is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live well upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, meaning discipline and self-control for parents in a way that strikes terror into the hearts of parents, and chastens them up to the be the best parents they can be, in the form of pro-social self-behaviorism, meaning punishing oneself for transgressions against one's child, then rewarding oneself for growth as a parent, modeling this attitude of self-discipline to children, with children being lovingly encouraged to be strict with themselves instead of parents being strict with them. Much of this is exemplary teaching and instruction, but verbal instruction as to biblical law and teaching is acceptable if the child wants it. It is to be offered, not forced in a way that is mixed in with punishment. The Greek root word "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: noutheia) refers to the admonition of the Lord, and refers to God's Loving Reproof, meaning simply stating non-binding limits and boundaries, namely the word "no" and its various variants, backed up by a secure attachment relationship with a child, meaning secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, owing nothing in return to parents, as denoted by the Greek root word υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to "listening under" parents, only in the Hebrew linguistic context, the parent would be seen as slightly smaller than the child, with the parent sacrificing for their child, just as Christ sacrificed for His child, giving Himself up for the good of His children accordingly. Parents are to sacrifice themselves, not their children, in the course of bringing up their children, meaning no punishment or control at all. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and literally translates to "exasperate" and one of the Greek words in the New Testament that refers to the offenses under the Eighth Commandment, and is summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child. This can include coercive "religion", meaning conflating punishment with religious instruction.

Religious entitlement isn't simply having religious needs, as we all need to believe in something. Even a mentally healthy atheist believes in something, and often finds themselves conforming to some degree with the Judaeo-Christian values that this country was founded on, meaning do not murder, do not steal, do not rape or commit adultery. Religious entitlement isn't wanting your child to believe like you. It is when that want leads to the first steps to seek to impose religion on a child, meaning imposed want onto the child. This can include any physical and/or mental punishment paired with religious instruction, or any terrorizing of a child with images of Hell before they are ready, such as in the teen years, meaning not before then ever. 

I am not entitled to a child believing the way I do, nor do I demand anyone here buy into the religious aspects of my posts. A child, in my home, would have religious instruction as a default option that they would have the right to opt out of at any time. If my child suddenly became atheist, I'd wonder why, since most children follow their parents on their belief systems. It could be that the pastor or some other person known to the family raped or sexually assaulted the child under the guise of religion.

The depraved parents who impose religious entitlement or abuse onto a child will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them languish in the lake of burning fire and brimstone prepared for Satan and his accomplices. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
