Creed of Heresy, what is the point of talking about religion if it is not to exchange ideas? Do you just enjoy insulting people? My name is Joseph, I am 27.
I understand that you are offended by scripture, sometimes I read things in the Old Testament that offend me. Is there a way that you could put your objection in formal logic or something similar? The Old Testament of the Bible has many severe judgements against many people, men and women. It is not sexist or misogynistic, it affirms the worth of both male and female as you can see in Proverbs 31, in the great worth attached to motherhood in the Old Testament. There are female judges of Israel (Deborah).
What exactly is the nature of your objection? Is it possible that you can show logically why Christians should feel that verses that disagree with contemporary culture should be seen as evidence against understanding the reality of God?
I would be happy to write a length response to each verse, but it seems like you ignored the lengthy one that I already wrote. There is an explanation for every difficult verse in scripture, and many books devoted to this subject, but it takes time to understand the ancient context. It is not necessary to "explain away" difficult verses as there are good explanations, I have found many and had many revealed to me miraculously through signs and wonders.
