Quote:Yes everyone wants to protect their kids. But you used the word "daughter" and a marriage is not solely her responsibility.
What are you answering, I said nothing about marriage?
Quote:This meme sold by your book is a patriarchal meme because back when it was written the protection of girls was more of a bartering tool with other families and back then the desires of the girl if she did not agree were not important. The family honor and ability to build alliances with other families was for the men to decide.
That book at best treats girls and women as props to make the male heros look good, but most of the time it treats women as scapegoats, and cattle and fields to be planted.
What are you speaking to, this has nothing to do with today's world, you need to get back on track.
Quote:Not even the most important female character is mentioned that much. A few blurbs when the angel tells Mary she is going to give birth to the hero, then not much during the life of Jesus, and and a few mentions at his death. It doesn't say anything about her likes or personal desires outside of supporting him. Even Mary is written like a prop.
The Bible is about Christ, not Mary, Paul, King David or any other men and women. You should however check out the OT there's a book there that's all about a women, it's actually the only book that doesn't mention God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
