Talk:Christianity and domestic violence

message: AS a history major, I appreciate that this subject is being talked about openly.  Historic facts about domestic violence, specifically tied to the rise of Christianity and tied to any form of religious fundamentalism must be discussed.  I oppose deletion of this page just because it might make some people feel "uncomfortable", especially if the facts warrant the report.  We know that domestic violence in the middle ages Europe was not only excused, but encouraged because of the literal interpretation of the bible, specifically where it is said that woman must obey her husband as a servant his master.  Since we do live in a civilized, educated society whose basis lies in the anals of information, then the page must stay.
I also oppose deletion, and propose expansion, because if the islam and domestic violence article is purely not a hate page, then there should also be due coverage of christiantiy and dometic violence, because domestic violence has been common in one tiem in both religions.86.150.147.133 (talk) 12:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the issue is that people take the Bible literally (as my husband and I do) but that the Bible has been distorted from what it actually says.  Repeatedly the Bible says that husbands should be considerate to their wives and not harsh with them.  A submission wife does not mean she is a doormat.  Anyways, I think it was a good choice to keep the article simply because there are some people who do distort the Bible to justify abuse.  It is not isolated to mainline Christianity, but extends to Christian sects and cults as well as other religions.  Perhaps a merger of articles dealing with domestic violence in connection with religion should be considered?  Kristamaranatha (talk) 19:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I propose deletion, not because the topic is not interesting. But 1/ if Wikipedia is neutral and serious, you have to make this same page for EVERY major religion in the world. 2/ the page seems to have been written by a teenager, like a kind of blog, not a real wikipedia article. Seriously. Did you read it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:CFD:D2BF:CC94:9A38 (talk) 06:04, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

message: The table in the section "Incidence of domestic violence among Christians" consitutes original research. It appears wikipedians have decided that 92% is christian enough for inclusion and then looked at domestic violence statistics in those countires as if to draw some conclusion about christians. I suggest it not be reinserted. IRWolfie- (talk) 00:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: There was a Template:Synthesis tag placed on the article, with no explanation in the edit summary and nothing placed on the talk page.
I've started the conversation here to get more information. , if you could add your concerns, there, that would be great!--CaroleHenson (talk) 09:54, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This can be written in a way to avoid synthesis.  If there are relatively few studies, it isn't inappropriate to list a few.  If the Johnson study has a countering view, we should list it too. EastTN (talk) 17:29, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

message: I removed that:
"Christian women are often silent and accepting of any domestic violence that they may suffer."
Because
1/ It's a personal opinion from the author.
3/ Where are the sources? The proof? The survey?
2/ It's wrong and very very very general. What is a "Christian woman"? A catholics, an orthodox, a baptist...etc?
the author are so ignorant in religion and sociology, that they seem to think that something called a "christian woman" exist, and that they have all the same rules, morales, behaviour, accross all the cultures of the world.
Is Wikipedia a serious site?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:CFD:D2BF:CC94:9A38 (talk) 06:02, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
