Another "how could any intelligent woman be a Christian?" thread

[John V]

You would not agree with the bolded line if the situation was reversed.  "Men have to stay silent in the church.  They can hold no authority." 
There are a lot of women who want to be pastors and deacons, and I know many who are absolutely excellent pastors.

If there's a lot of women who want to be pastors and deacons, you're admitting that a lot of women find Christianity attractive. And if you know many who are excellent pastors...what's the problem? Tell the ones who want to be pastors and deacons about the denominations with the female pastors.
