Should man rule over women for women’s own good?

[FatAndFaithless]

Except if you can interpret the book in any way you like, as you've said, then anything it says about "right and wrong" is utterly relative and largely useless, since two people could reach the opposite conclusion on any given problem. Example: Homosexuality. Some Christians say homosexuality is disordered, some Christians say homosexuality is not a disorder. They both can't be right.

Somethings are up for debate are arguement. Others are set in stone and can't really be interpreted any differently. This would be things such as salvation. Others, like homosexual marriage are debatable but it states clearly in the Bible homosexuality is a sin. Where I live homosexuality is not legal. This doesn't mean I view homosexuals with disrespect, I view them as equal. The Bible doesn't say certain sins are worse than others, everyone is the same.

Many, many Christians would disagree with you, and point to the same book for evidence. How do you determine who is right, if your book supposedly has the clear answer spelled out? And if it's not clearly spelled out, why not? If a god-inspired book wanted to pass down wisdom, surely God could've constructed it in a much, much clearer way.
