So either the bible is sexist or its just a bunch of mumble jumble meant to explain away things that have no explanation in a rational, logical way, still doesn't answer the question of where did the woman come from, which according to the bible it was just an incestuous relationship, no wonder monkeys are smarter than most humans
Joanna, you should probably close your mouth a little more often and listen. You do nothing but jump to conclusion and berate anything you don't understand, while not even trying to even attempt to learn yourself. I don't have all the answers, I doubt no man does. I also haven't picked up a Bible in over 20 years. So even my knowledge is rusty. I've told you this before.
Look, the six O'clock news doesn't explain how the gas man delivered the gas to the gas station, but you can infer he did because you are able to put gas in your tank. right?
Oh, and it didn't mention all the women in town who had nothing to do with said delivery, must be sexist ....right? Dear God, seriously?
For the love of everything that is good. Settle the fuq down and go get laid. lol.
I am very late in this conversation but one needs to look at the times that the bible was written.
Look how long in history it took for woman to get the right to vote or the same pay or opportunities as a man ..... it is what it WAS.
Today is different.
I will probably get bashed for this but it's what I think.
There are exceptional women in history and now. But in truth, men are the strongest. I would prefer a squad of firemen saving my home as opposed to a squad of women. That's just me. And women can't have it both way.
I heard a comedian say "Women stood up for their rights, and lost their seat on the bus"
Now, IMO .... the bible is a book of teachings, a guild line that was written in certain times. But the 10 commandments show a moral code that all should observe. Do not steal, kill, or covet .... that's pretty basic. And folks who us terms like "an eye for an eye" need to go back and read what that actually means and it doesn't say revenge.
I am a Pagan, so I am no expert on the bible but I have read it. I raised 2 Christian sons because I gave them free choice. My eldest is more of a Pagan then he knows. I think he is still finding his way.
We all have our opinions. We should all be tolerant of other beliefs.
Diversity makes us all unique.
(Bex steps down from soapbox)
I tried to explain to Joanna equality under the law does not equate to equal biologically. Clearly men and women are made different to do different things.
I agree that women gave up so much more than they realize. Women, for the most part were always honored in western society. They may of not been able to do everything a man did, but that didn't make them unequal. They (Joanna) say they celebrate "feminism",but all the while trying to be masculine as men. We see this insecurity play out as Joanna rages everything patriarchal. Boogieman under the bed with everything with these types of people, just like Der and others seeing racism in every non-event scenario. Sad.
Incest has be around for ages .... no shock there.
Didn't royalty marry within the family back in the day?
I believe so. For the life of me I can't recall any specifics. Here I am up all night with no sleep again.
