How can women be Christian?

RE: How can women be Christian?
To the OP, I'll chalk it up to low or no self esteem. Or (as other have said) they are pickers and choosers. Cafeteria stile religion.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

The same way anyone else follows the church. They come up with some bullshit to justify everything.

"Oh, men and women just have different roles!"

As a woman, I say fuck that. It's just proof the bible is full of shit that the church made up. Because it reflects the cultural views at the time. Just as most of the bible does. If the Bible were truly the 'word of god' it wouldn't resemble the culture of the time.

Yeah, the prisoner and the jailer certainly do have different roles.

Childhood indoctrination.

I asked the same question in another thread.

There weren't any earthshaking answers.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

How can women be Christian?
A conversation that never happens..

"Mommy, which god do you believe in?"

"Well honey, I believe in Yahweh the Christian god"

"Which god should I believe in Mommy?"

"Well dear, you can choose Yahweh like me and your poppa and our family history as far back as we can remember. Or you could choose Allah or Vishnu or Shiva or, in fact, any one of the thousands of other available gods being worshipped today. There are countless thousands of ancient gods that you could also follow but they're not current. Take a while to weigh up the pros and cons and choose freely"

"OK mom, what if I don't take a fancy to any of them at all?"

"That's fine also sweetheart, you can simply become atheist and we will respect your decision and love you unconditionally"

"Thanks mom, you're very understanding and I appreciate you allowing me to think critically and make my own choices in life, especially with one as important as this"

RE: How can women be Christian?
Christianity allows women to hide behind their husbands. “Oh, I’m a Christian wife. I have to obey my husband. Sorry.”

As for verses that make women interior, Christians are programmed to look at a verse that says god hardened pharaoh’s heart and swear it doesn’t say that.

As for your partner, I don’t know enough about her to say what her reasons are. There’s something for everyone and if you don’t like what the Bible says in one place, you can just turn the page until you find something you do like. In today’s church women are taught to ignore Paul’s instructions to Timothy because Isiah said god will put out his spirit on his maid servants.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
