Although, when you can prove your god, ill think otherwise.




Religion is like a dog chasing a car. It wouldn't know what to do if it found God, so it'll make up crazy shit until then. :dog:

it in the old testment a text comman to christian muslims and jews it wqas a patriarcal society then and a patriarchal society now

the fundamental teaching derived from the bible is LOVE and RESPECT one another. NOT BEAT YOUR WIFE it only pricks that use these refernces to justify the oppression of women

i dont necessarily agree with what this original post is about but just because the bible is interpreted as having the message of love and respect by the bulk of society it doesnt make it so.

the bible is just a text like any other.it is open to ANY interpretation.who is to say which is the "correct" one?

it is also a snap shot of history.their morality wasnt about gender equality.

In other words ignore what you KNOW is evil and continue to "see" only the good parts because your too scared/cbf to challenge the presumptions that you were indoctrinated with.

Well...

Firstly having context, both historical and within the book itself usually makes it very clear exactly what the bible is saying...

You must understand the context for the rule of law in the old testament before you can go willy nilly quoting old testament passages out of context...

The worst passage here which is a personal pet hate of mine is the Ephesians 5 passage....

The whole passage reads

" 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

So the man in this context is basically told to die for his wife... as in to die as an individual... and he is expected to bring her constantly closer to Christ and caring for her as much if not more than he would care for his own body. And if he doesn't he will be held accountable for it...


Pretty sure guys get the rawer deal there...
