This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

The problem with fundamentalists insisting on a literal interpretation of the Bible is that the meaning of words change. A prime example es 'Spare the rod, spoil the child'. A rod was a stick used by shepherds to guide their sheep to go in the desired direction. Shepherds did not use it to beat their sheep. The proper translation of the saying is 'Give your child guidance, or they will go astray.' It does not mean 'Beat the shit out of your child or he will become rotten' as many fundamentalist parents seem to believe.

➜ #3462095O problema com a insistência dos fundamentalistas numa interpretação literal da Bíblia é que o significado das palavras muda. Um ótimo exemplo é 'Poupe o bastão e estrague a criança'. O bastão era uma vara usada pelos pastores para guiar suas ovelhas, fazendo-as seguir na direção desejada. Os pastores não o utilizavam para bater nas ovelhas. A tradução correta do ditado é 'Oriente seus filhos, ou eles se extraviarão'. Não quer, absolutamente, dizer 'Espanque seu filho sem piedade, ou ele se estragará', como muitos pais fundamentalistas parecem acreditar.

➜ #3462127La problemo kun la fundamentistoj insistante en laŭvorta interpreto de la Biblio estas ke la signifo de vortoj ŝanĝiĝas. Bonega ekzemplo estas 'Ŝparu la bastonon, ruinigu la infanon'. Bastono estis vergeto uzata de ŝafistoj por gvidi siajn ŝafojn iri en la deziratan direkton. Ŝafistoj ne uzis ĝin por bati siajn ŝafojn. La ĝusta tradukado de la diro estas 'Donu al viaj infanoj gvidadon, aŭ ili devojiĝos'. Ĝi ne signifas 'Bategu vian infanon, aŭ li fariĝos putra', kiel tiom da fundamentismaj gepatroj ŝajnas kredi.

➜ #3895112Проблема с фундаменталистами, которые настаивают на буквальном толковании Библии, заключается в том, что смысл слов меняется. Ярким примером является фраза «пожалеешь розги — испортишь ребёнка». Розгой был прут, который использовали пастухи, чтобы вести своих овец в нужную сторону. Пастухи не били ими овец. Правильный перевод этого изречения: «укажи детям путь, или они заблудятся». Это не значит «выбей дурь из своего ребёнка, или он испортится», как многие родители-фундамендалисты, похоже, считают.
