https://homeschoolersanonymous.wordpress.com/…/comment-pag…/ I just recently heard about this tyrannical abuse of parental authority. I just wanted to give my two cents worth. First of all this demonstrates how these cults exalt the reigning household patriarch to a usurped position rivaling that of the Most High God, from a Christian standpoint. It is therefore a type of idolatry http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2012/08/christian-patriarchy-as-idolatry.html. In short , by rights, in a Christian home, the father is only authorized to enforce the commandments of the Bible, not to force his own whims upon his unfortunate subjects, under threat of domestic violence. In fact, even Islam, as relatively draconian as it might arguably be said to be, affords greater freedom than such a so called Christian patriarchy. It states, as I pointed out, that the only legitimate authority is in accordance with God's law, and must not establish any statute that exceeds the commands of God http://um-bs.com/…/02/06/what-does-islam-say-about-leaders…/. Furthermore, Islam asserts the rightful duty of a person to stand up against injustice, even against one's own father http://en.islamtoday.net/artshow-264-3195.htm. But one need not convert to Islam in order to invoke divine sanction for a revolution against oppression. As the deist Thomas Jefferson stated, "resistance to tyrants is obedience to God"http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/personal-seal , and I've found that even a good number of Christians concur http://www.washingtonsblog.com/…/god-wants-us-challenge-sup…. So I for one shall continue to withstand such oppressive legalism, by any means necessary to counter it, including as a final resort proportional violent force.. My highest obedience is to my conscience. And I'd feel ashamed if I were to be remiss in resisting any unjust figures. As the Christian revolutionary founding father Patrick Henry said, https://www.brainyquote.com/…/quotes/p/patrickhen101580.html. One final quote, this time from a more recent president ,https://www.brainyquote.com/q…/quotes/j/johnfkenn101159.html.
