Stupid things religious people say

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

In any case, misogyny in Christianity is something to behold, so if one church tones it down, others will see it as betrayal.

Here are a few snippets from an anti feminist article based on the writings by Carrie Gress "a scholar with the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America".  And beside giving a fictional representation of the subject, they are using the usual Catholic and Christian sound bites like the devil, occult, communism, and etc. to scare the sheep from being affiliated with it.

As you read the article, you see that the ignorance of the Catholic Church is infinite, and is only matched by its paranoia.

"Women must obey, and everything else is a betrayal of church, morality, civilization, God, and whatnot. The church knows what is best for women, and treating women as mindless slaves is love." But, of course, women are just stand-in. Men don't fare any better since these sick fucks still can't get over the French Revolution and they still dream of the totalitarian "glory" they once had over peasants in medieval Europe.

Ok, I'll put the article in hide tags since it's a bit long.

The Anti-Christian Core of Feminism

---

Gress sees feminism as an “anti-Marian” movement. But she said that this judgment is not exclusively directed at twentieth century or contemporary feminism, but at all feminism as we have known it in the Western world, starting with English writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, the mother of feminism.

Gress said that the Virgin Mary “is the most powerful woman in the world … No one has been photographed more” no one has had “the role and influence that she’s had” on the world. Feminism, she said, “is directly opposed to who our lady is.” It is “diametrically opposed” to Christianity.

Gress then asked whether or not such a thing as “Christian feminism” is possible. She believes it is not possible. Feminism, she found, is concerned with “control and power,” whereas Christianity focuses on charity and humility.

In feminism, it is autonomy. The feminist ideal for women is to be independent of men and children, and generally “live their lives independently of the family.” The early feminists indeed wanted “to help women in very bad situations.” Thus there was a natural sympathy for their cause. But their solution was not to convert abusers to Christ and a more righteous life, to make women “more like men.”

The early feminists were influenced by the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, the son-in-law of Wolstencraft and her husband, William Godwin (a bitter opponent of Christian sexual morality). Shelley held that women should be free, at least in terms of the real choices available to them, from men and from children, and full and equal participants in the world of work. The first wave included the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and involved the work of Margaret Sanger, and the appearance of leftist political movements (socialist or communist). Feminism, like these movements, had roots in the French Revolution. Additional features included the belief “that hierarchies were bad,” that organizational structures set up by men are “intrinsically and inherently bad,” and that men are “intrinsically bad.”

Shelley also encouraged the early feminists to be “deeply involved in the occult.” He spent a night in a coffin trying to contact the devil. Taking the lead of his father-in-law, William Godwin, Shelley held “that marriage is a kind of slavery.” Women “like everyone else” should be able to enjoy non-marital sex, which was “called at that time ‘free love’” with no moral restraints. Gress found his ideas similar to those of the Marquis de Sade, although not as cruel as de Sade.

The Commandments of the Feminist Church

From these origins, Gress found the “three commandments” that informed first wave and subsequent feminisms: 1) involvement in the occult, 2) promiscuity, and 3) contempt for men. This “trinity” characterizes many young women today committed to feminism but was created generations ago in the age of the American and French revolutions. She observed said that one can easily see from these commandments that feminism is incompatible with Christianity.

“Contempt for men … makes it very difficult for a woman to have a relationship with God the Father. The occult makes it very difficult to have a relationship with Christ, and promiscuity of course makes it incredibly difficult for a woman … to be able to” be moved by the Holy Spirit.

Not surprisingly, feminism is contrary to the Christian theological virtues (faith, hope, and love). Against these, feminism advances “rage, envy, and contempt.” These three hostile characteristics are “a fundamental way feminism has taken hold of the culture.” She said that “every kind of women’s march has got these characteristics to it.” But many people would be surprised to learn that this way of thinking comes from the 1800s. Socialists and communists realized then, she said, that their goals would be much easier to accomplish if women were angry than if they were happy.

In this connection, they developed sessions of “consciousness raising,” in which women would talk about everything “that they were upset about and mad about.” Remarkably, consciousness raising moved from the United States to China, and from there back to the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. American women involved in consciousness raising at this time thought that it “was this exotic thing from China,” whereas it was simply a socialist tool that moved “from country to country.”

The next element in the “shadow church is the sacred rite of work.” This is important for women’s autonomy. This in turn leads to “the sacrament” of abortion. Instead of Christ saying, “this is my body for you” in the sacrament of communion, in the sacrament of abortion the individual says, “this is my body for me.” Moral autonomy, the sacredness of work, and the belief that women should “become like men” are the driving forces of abortion, she said. Feminism, not Roe v. Wade, has fueled the abortion culture.

Gress said that the goal of feminism, including first-wave feminism, has always been to destroy the church, destroy the Christian faith, and destroy the family. Many first-generation feminists were unitarians or atheists, Gress observed. She noted that among these was Matilda Gage, who was a witch. She influenced her daughter and son-in-law, Frank Baum, to become involved in witchcraft. After her death, he wrote, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, (later The Wizard of Oz). Gress believes that the wizard character is representative of patriarchy. Real power in the story, however, rests with the female witches, and with the stranded Dorothy, if only she knows to use the powers within her.
