Does the New Testament contain sexism?

[Drich]

The difference is that we get to choose our role in society. Not so much in religion.

Well, that's not true. i choose to be a movie star, then a rock star, then I chose to be a pilot...
None of these things happened for me. However soceity would allow me to mop floors and clean up after mechanics.

You seriously have to ask? No, I guess you would.

The core principle of morality dictates judgment of action - not of inherent properties. Something you do not have control over is something you should not be judged for. Discrimination based on race or gender goes against this principle and that is why it is unjust, demeaning and disrespectful.

That's not true at all. Would you let someone with diminished mental capasities fly a passenger jet? why not? Why is your judgement here any more valid that a call to judgement base on the inherent properties of gender?

Drich, you're obviously not seeing the point. I'm talking about how things should be, or at least what I think is good to strive towards. Yes, currently society puts unreasonable divisions between people based on these irrelevant statuses, and that's the whole thing that we are trying to change. We aren't okay with living in the society that defines roles based on gender or race, and that's the whole point of this damn discussion.

Your missing my point, however i get yours. Infact lets now take gender and/or race off the table. What's left is What I am talking about. Issues dealing with social/ecconomic class, education, are the primary desciding factors in how our soceity works. These are often times non-elected attributes that are assigned at birth. few if any break these chains. (Speaking on a world wide scale not some mothers cousin you maybe thinking of)

So my question is, if it is ok to segergate the populace using the standards of education and social ecconomic class (something one is generally born into) then why is it then not ok to make these divisions anywhere else it may benfit soceity?
