Christians today talk about how horrible the Muslims of the world are and without a doubt I agree with them. I do not however agree with the hypocrisy of their statements and their holier than thou attitude. Christians say things like "Muslims are so evil and primitive look how they treat their women like property!" Are you serious? Have you even read your Holy Bible? It explicitly says that women can be sold to men as wives and slaves.
It seems to me that Christians have short memories when it comes to the ideals of their religion and how hard the women of this country had to fight for equal rights. The Bible is one of the most anti women books in all of history. Women are not allowed to be in the clergy according to the bible, which is too bad because I think that the number of children being molested by priests would have been drastically reduced. The Bible has a woman being the cause of original sin and the one that convinced man to partake in it. It also states that the punishment for women is the pains of childbirth, because that has nothing to do with pushing a child the size of a bowling ball through a hole the size of a golf ball. The bible says that the husband should rule over the wife in a marriage, and the only reason she can ever leave him is if he does not feed, shelter, and clothe her, even though the husband can take as many wives as he wants. It states in the bible that during a woman's menstruation she is considered unclean and anyone that comes into contact with her is also unclean, which is mild compared to the 66 days she is to be considered unclean after giving birth to a daughter and only 33 for a son. If a virgin is raped by a man he is to pay her father 20 pieces of silver and marry her! REALLY! That is exactly what every women that gets raped wants is to marry the man that raped her, and if she refuses she gets stoned to death. These are only a few of the atrocities in the "Holy Bible" and there are many many more.
Christians before you start talking shit about other religions maybe you should take a good hard look at that atrocity you call the holy word of God. The rest of us sane people that know better than to buy into all those fairy tales will continue to fight for equal rights for everyone not just the ones some ancient story book tells us to.
I have heard my entire life, how the man is the head of the woman, and how it's his responsibility to bring in the money while the woman should stay home, raise the children, and take care of her husband and the house.
ReplyDeleteHaving been a woman in the male-dominated world of the military, I can say that we still have a long ways to go.
I, for one, believe in equality. I don't think that men are above women, and I don't think that women are above men. It needs to be a 50/50 split in order to make the world run smoothly. Men and women have different skill sets, which when combined, complement each other. Religion uses its religious texts to keep women "in their place". But the times, they are achangin'... and hopefully soon.
Sir you are serious! I will be reading your blog from now on :)
