That is because women are unimportant to them.  In the case of crossing streets, boys do that, so they need to be taught to look both ways.  That girls hear it too is not a problem, as they may then live long enough to breed boys if they don't get run over as little girls.

"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God."

Seems some Christers haven't changed much...

Quote:this is how the enemy tempts us. He does not tempt you with that which is blatantly evil for he knows you would take no notice. Instead, he tempts us with that which sounds wise and good. This was his first temptation to Eve in the Garden of Eden? How could the enemy tempt someone who personally walked and talked with God each day? He did it by sounding "good," "wise," and "pleasant" (Genesis 3:6).
This is just a reminder of how easy it is to interpret scripture as support for whatever point you want to make. The conversation between Eve and the serpent went like this:

Serpent: So I hear that god won't let you eat from any of the trees here?
Eve: No, just that one over there.
Serpent: Yeah, well, god's a filthy liar. That fruit will make you a superstar!
Eve: Well, since you put it that way...

Apparently, that is what passes for "good, wise, and pleasant" in some people's eyes. Oh, that crafty Satan! Using the old "he's a liar" ploy to pull one over on a woman who was BEST FRIENDS WITH GOD. The devil just doesn't play fair, I guess. Toughest. Adversary. Evar.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

That's a good observation.  Even Jesus had sense enough not to step off the pinnacle of the temple.  He didn't trust God to catch him.
