Welcome! I watched a video on what happens inside the temple so I guess I'll never be able to get into the church.. What a shame
As for subservience, well .. I believe women inherently want and need there to be a god because we're such emotional beings. We look around and see and feel intensely all the wrongs in this life and having a bit of hope in our hearts for there to be a balancing force is what can help us feel like everything's all right with the world. No one's on women's sides typically, not even women. There's no support group for women especially in Muslim countries. So believing there is a god who watches you and who will make the wrongs right has a strong appeal, I'd imagine. My dad read out loud to me and my brother one time some Bible verses on womens roles in God's plan when my mom had gotten into a fight with him. That day my world changed and I felt like I was lesser, even to god. So I took up that cross and tried to be the best woman I could be--even condemning feminists who were fighting for my rights. I think there's going to be a big 'awakening' one day on behalf of women everywhere. Then: watch out! Women are powerful beyond measure when we get together with the intention of changing the world..

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
