I turned from Christianity (or at least what I believed to be Christianity) when my youngest daughter (who was over 18 at the time) asked me a series of poignant questions:
"If the God of the bible exists, shouldn't his morality be timeless? If his morality was timeless and corrupted by man, then shouldn't he have corrected those instructions? How can you believe in a god who allows his followers to consider women as less, and say that women should not speak in church?"
It was a good point. Why would I believe in a Misogynistic god? As a woman, I can't. Not without thinking that I am less, and fuck that. I'm worth two of everyone else. Three of some people, and forty billion of others.
