What he is punishing is unfair because he set up the circumstances which led to such a need in the first place.

Observation. The bible says a woman is not to speak in the temple. How many women speak during church? How many women are preachers?
They're always quoting scripture about how God condemns homosexuality and then ignore all the other things he condemns in the bible, or condones for that matter. Such as slavery. How many Christians condones slavery?

How is it wrong and in which area? Wouldn't it be the church's fault for not teaching me correctly? Why are so many churches teaching different things and interpreting scripture differently? Why doesn't someone step in to correct this?
