I always mumbled as a child. People could never hear me when I'd first say something. I'd always have a tendency to look at the ground too so basically I always looked guilty. I remember in 3rd grade my teacher took me aside and called me a "shit starter" for this. I remember even at the time finding it weird.

I know, or I should of been like "yeah a shit starter, but it beats killing babies like God, right?".

It's possible, though I never did see anyone get hit with a ruler or something like they used to do back in the day.
Yep, they used to beat young kids with sticks for acting up, because religion!

Ah, but good christians should of recognized it was abhorrent behavior, correct? Or should religious people just go with the flow, regardless of how it matches up with the shit they spout?

You don't seem to understand. It wasn't a religious practice, and it wasn't considered evil. People throughout all known history have chastised children to add a noxious stimuli for certain destructive behavior; and it's not just limited to people either, a number of animals—mammals in particular—also punish some of the undesirable behavior among their offspring.

I wasn't actually trying to say it is a religious practice, though I can see how it was taken that way. I was making fun of the fact religious people were beating children. Especially if the reason boils down to "it was the thing to do in those days".

It looked more as if you were whining. Either way it's a moot point because it's not a behavior exclusive to religious people; nor does it conflict with any wide-spread religious decrees as far as I'm aware.
It's believed that the proverb is the inspiration for that quote, but the quote itself comes from "Hudibras" by Samuel Butler.
If matrimony and hanging go
By dest'ny, why not whipping too?
What med'cine else can cure the fits
Of lovers when they lose their wits?
Love is a boy by poets stil'd
Then spare the rod and spoil the child
I'd include link to the full poem but I havent't posted enough to be trusted with links.
But nobody was whining. Merely commenting on something I found amusing. Nor did anyone ever say it was exclusive to religious people, so we can nip that in the butt as well. It was an offhand comment.
I wonder how spoiled the first borns in Egypt felt.
