yep
Numerous cases exist of wrecked families run by authoritarian psychotic religious Bible thumping nutcases.
yep
Therefore, people ought to avoid using the Bible as any kind of guidebook on how to function as a family. Dr. Phil's ideas seem to have succeeded in producing the least amount of ongoing dysfunctional families, although all those who took his advice are now either divorced or falling apart. Yet, they had the longest run in recent memory of keeping it together, compared to all the other ideas and systems out there. You are the first person to mention Dr. Phil, I dont even like the guy. This is not an arguement point, it is an attempt to color what I said.

But a Bible-based family is a guaranteed ticket to hell on earth for all concerned.
nope, not even sure what that means.
Now, is this not essentially the exact same argument used against theonomy? How can a Christian even contemplate such a ridiculous collection of non sequiturs and near-idolatries as remotely valid?

nope again, but your love of power over people shows quite nicely.
