[quote:Anonymous Coward 8462664:MV8xNzQ3NTc0XzI4OTc3MzU1XzI1RjRBQjU1] What do you expect from a garbage religion started in the goat-fucking Middle East? [/quote]
Original Message
This is what made me walk away from Christianity. There isn't much there for women, it becomes obvious that the bible was used in part to stamp out the feminine, or altogether obscure it.
This is what happened during the Crusades and the Inquisition---murder of those who were herbalists, naturalists and Gnostics.
What does a woman get from the bible aside from a male saviour archetype to which she could never identify--as a woman?
The other alternative is essentially, a whore or a virgin mother. These two are so at odds to one another. it seems like a set-up for failure.
If you're a mother and not a virgin--basically you're a whore or prostitute.
What does Christianity do for you girls? Please don't simply quote bible scripture, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the issue instead--I've read the bible many times over.
The best analogy the bible gives for the feminine is to refer to her as Wisdom in Proverbs.
Other than that, it doesn't leave much to go on for women.
