The bible is a disgusting piece of sexist propaganda, among many other things, and I think people should think carefully about whether they should be endorsing it.

Bravo! Losty Smile

Idealistic religious standards look pretty but are equally painful.

Excellent OP, Losty.
Yep, middle-finger to humility. I'm fucking awesome, and I know it.

While I do certainly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to mock my thread, I would like to clarify that this thread is not about feminism. It's not even really about sexism.

I can only offer my own perspective on Christian humility from the point of view of a woman because that's the only way I've known it. I can only offer it from a proverbs 31 wife because that's the clearest way I can see it.

Christian humility is not about being modest. It's about being subservient. It's not about lowering your haughty sense of self importance, it's about lowering your sense of self worth. Christian humility is about humiliating people (especially young children) into behaving a way someone wants them to. Christian humility is a tool for the strong to make the vulnerable weak, it's a tool for them to keep the weak down, it is a tool for the powerful to control those who've had all sense of agency stripped away from them.

Make jokes about sandwich making if you please, it sucks you're too lazy or too complacent to look up.

It very was well put. 

It's a shame that anyone that gets boondoggled into believing that being meek is a laudable virtue. Hyper-religious folks apparently don't stop to think how driving that message in essentially clears a path for exploitation and abuse by anyone and everyone. Thoughtless and careless.

One track minds and the damage they do.

If I want a doormat, I'll go to Walmart.

Any woman I take has to be strong enough to take me, and tell me to fuck off if need be. I want a partnership of equals, and I'll hope I'm equal to the task.

Hey, wasn't that in a movie? 

"You had me at 'fuck off' " or something like that, right? Tongue
