So, religious women...why on earth would you believe in a religion that hates you so much? It almost hates you more than it hates gays, but the reason it hates gays it's because men shouldn't ever act like women, the scum of the earth.
Women seldom went to the Passover feast at Jerusalem; they were not required to be present. Jesus, however, virtually refused to go unless his mother would accompany them.

Jesus practiced what he preached. If only his followers did so.

I believe a previous poster made it pretty clear that women were treated lowly by societies in general. Maybe you a would like to go after Asian countries? You want me to show you just how anti-woman they can be? Oh, of course not. You know why? Because they're predominantly Buddhist, and even though Buddhism is inherently against sexism, that doesn't stop them from treating women like garbage.
Want me to show you all the quotes and instances of woman hating in India? Oh, that's right, because they're all Hindu. Hinduism is also against misogyny. Want to know why nobody is going after Buddhism and Hinduism? It's simple. Because they're not Christians.
Here's a towel, everyone. Getting egg off of your face is a messy task.

Amen to that.....Can you imagine if Jesus were to try to repeat his ministry in certain nominally Christian nations today.....He'd get a face full of mace and be dragged off to Gitmo before he'd even finished a parable!

Religion is a powerful force. Culture, and civilization, all of these things that are necessary for humans to flourish and even just survive are part and parcel to it. In fact there are some schools of anthropological thought that would argue that civilization, even human culture itself in all of its miriad forms stems FROM religion first, not the other way around. Regardless of what God or Gods I do or do not believe in, I happen to agree.
When the mistreatment of others is being sanctioned by a religion this reinforces and justifies that mistreatment within that
God gave the Jews a particular set of laws they must follow. These laws were for their own good because, in the end, they were designed according to God's perfect will to His chosen people.

Which one exactly? Do you mean stoning sexual deviants because it could spread and ruin virtuous dedication to God, do you mean not to eat pigs whose meat we have now proven to be wholly bad for your body, or maybe polygamy for the sake of procreating and increasing the Jewish population?
And no, they couldn't make their own laws. As soon as Moses left them to talk to God on Mount Sinai and receive the Ten Commandments, God's people were busy taking all of their gold and making a golden calf statue to worship. It's clear they needed commands and guidance in the form of laws. Even Moses disobeyed God once and was only allowed to see the Holy Land from afar.edit on 2-5-2013 by FollowTheWhiteRabbit because: (no reason given)
