a new atheist and marriage

[Brian37]

..Still yet to have a female Pope, and I really don't think that will happen anytime soon.
FYI, that picture depicts a revised interpretation reflecting modern morals, not the morals of the writers of that book. The further back in time you go the less rights females had. 
The reason those women do that now is because more people skip over the sexism in the bible and completely ignore it.
Our modern west became civil in spite of that book, not because of it.

We don't give a rat's ass about the Pope and catholicism, maybe him and his priests just don't like girls..



Maybe somebody should remind him that Paul said-
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28 )
And Jesus said to the snooty priests-"The prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you" (Matt 21:31)
And he's got womens backs- "I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matt 5:28 )

First off, I am a former Catholic. Secondly, anyone of any sect who holds the position that Jesus is real, and the son of the only God, are Christians. Holding different sect labels does not change that. Again, 50 years ago you wouldn't have seen women of any sect leading a church, regardless of sect. 100 years ago all Christians of all sects held the belief that women should not have the right to vote. Further back in time you had women and girls being burned at the stake being accused of being witches. 

"Looking at them lustfully", did not mean pro women. It meant don't look at other means property as if you can have it. Girls/women in all of antiquity worldwide were considered property of the male head of the household. Women's rights are a recent thing this past century.

That is simply your own watered down interpretation because the thought of the reality of antiquity bothers you. What you should do instead of trying to interpret old mythology to try to cling to it, simply try to understand that was then and this is now. But do not try to sell me the idea that the men of antiquity treated women equally, they did not. Women back then at best were depicted as props in mythology to make the male figures look good. But they were never considered equals.
