While I have no squabble with occasional spankings, you seem to enjoy having been brutally abused? There is a reason why such actions are frowned upon today. Abuse spawns anger, anger spawns hatred, and hatred and anger are the source of all sins.
But you have turned out a devout christian and for that I commend you.

No, I understood exactly why I was being paddled. If my dad did not care about me, he would not of paddled me. There were time I was naughty just to hear him say "I love you son, but I have to give you a walloping".
This was not abuse, hatred, anger or anything negative. Just pure father-son love.
