Why would any woman want to be Christian?

Actually, this person could not even read an intermediate level commentary of 1st Timothy, and doesn't care. He is not a teacher, he is a propagandist.

The Bible describes women who has prominent places such as Deborah. Jesus treating women with extra special care in his ministry. In the Christian church the issue of women being pastors is controversial, some denominations such as the United Methodist allow female pastor but others do not. Some theologians, such as Gordon Fee, see certain teachings of the New Testament as being cultural. There is a great deal of scripture that Christians do not necessary obey, but this is controversial.

If you get your answers about theology from this person, who is going to "tell it straight", meaning, regurgitate a bunch of anti-Christian propaganda, go right ahead, but don't call yourself a free thinker. This person has never studied Greek, he probably doesn't own a single commentary. He is using a hard right view of scripture to try and lead people away from the Bible, when really, there is a whole spectrum of views about the nature and authority of scripture.

The person who you posted probably does not know what a 'presupposition' is. He certainly has not tried to ground his presuppositions about the Bible in anything other than anti-theistic propaganda.

Don't expect a careful analysis of the real gender differences from this person either. He doesn't care. He is the Ann Coulter of atheism.

Nice counterargument, except for the part where you did not present any sort of counter to the video's argument.

You try to hold him to a bunch of stuff he says and the style in which he says it, but you never deny the validity of what he's saying. I don't care how you put it, the Bible puts women below men. And that's not right.
