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

So you stopped questioning because some people in authority positions answered "other questions"? Turning your brain off to skepticism about a position is never a good idea.

(You're also still avoiding my question, Carmy).

EDIT: Ah, bad timing by me. Unfortunately I can't access the link as I'm behind some firewalls on a work laptop, but if you're just going to say "I read a reference about it to a book I don't have", then shit, that's not even personal anecdote, it's not evidence. Give me something a bit more concrete here Caramel.

Are you trying to guess my name because you are way off.Secondly the book I got the 24000 figure is from "Grill a Christian" by Roger Carswell and the book it references is "Why Trust the Bible" by Amy Orr-Ewing.

No, I'm not trying to guess your name Carmen, what gave you that idea. Also, you're providing books that are garage-produced by a British evangelical minister, and not in any way academic or historical. Just because some arse (since he's British) claims something in his pet fantasy book doesn't make it evidence. If there exist these 24000 contemporary manuscripts (thats a lot of documents), you'd be able to find a better source than one whackjob's ad-hoc justification for his belief, which doesn't even try to hide the fact that's it's all pre-drawn conclusions. Where are the historical articles? Peer-reviewed dissertations? Literally anything besides "this one guy says so", please.
