Women as priests

[Jackie]

In my religion, we believe that God only gifted men with the ability to give "spiritual life" (aka, perform the sacraments). It isn't that we don't think women should be allowed. It's that we believe they simply cannot.

In the same way, God only gifted women with the ability to give physical life (carry a pregnancy, give birth, and nurse). It doesn't mean one sex is better than the other. Just that we believe them to have different roles in some cases.

Equality baby

Religion had nothing to do with why you get pregnant and men dont. That is evolution, not an old book of mythology. 

Gender roles are exactly why religion OF ALL LABELS are so antiquated. 

In a partnership, it should not matter who does what, just that both involved  are happy and consent and have good communication skills.

This is what I find sad about your logic. You are working backwards in time to justify clinging to it. The problem is even if you want to go with "it is equal but just a gender role thing", there was no equality back then, not even in polytheism. 

The further back in antiquity you go, the more females were treated as property. Even in polytheism, back then the first born male had first dibs on any family fortune handed to them. It is also why women as a majority always take the man's last name. That is stupid knowing that both sexes contribute to the next generation.

Of course men don't get pregnant, but mythology doesn't explain that, evolution does. 

You look at other species of life, say like some insects, the female is far bigger and takes a far more dominate role. Honey  Bees are a prime example.

If you value your own gender then you should really try to understand that that was then and this is now.

I still maintain that the biggest problem with religion is that it was designed by men who were worried about their tiny dicks.

. . . and where they wanted to stick them . . .

But they still menstruate.  And the Bible's fixation on the topic is telling.


And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

Yea, who are the advertisers fooling with the blue die when selling pads or tampons? I get that women need them, but it isn't blue. Who are they marketing to? Smurfs?

Not necessarily.... they just don't want women with the experience to laugh at their tiny peckers.

We cant say that all men in the world are like this. We can say that evolution itself did not come with automatic reasoning skills at birth. 

So it isn't that all men have tiny dicks, but more that humans on average worldwide don't have a great enough number as to education of biological evolution. 

Right now though, I'd only agree there is a jackass occupying an office as global diplomat, wearing a dead animal on his head who has tiny hands.

The lavender turds in the Miralax commercials leaves me rolling on the floor in laughter every time.

Women are purdy...

Be afraid of their guiles.

Educate women around the world and give them control over their reproductive rights; a massive enhancement to overall global health.

Who is against that? Not many secularists that I know.

But they are scared because they know smart women are smarter than us, so keep dat privilege going.

The same can be said for Erectile Dysfunction adds. They sanitize the language imagery in that too.

Just like I don't want to hear, "even on those heavy days". I don't want a mouth full of food watching a commercial about some guy not being able to jizz all over his other's chest. 

But even with toilet tissue. There is one out now some brand, and in it some grade schoolers say a variety of stuff to demonstrate how the toilet paper cleans you.

One boy says, "As clean as a fluffy white kitten".

Then a girl says, "As clean as a shimmering Mermaid".


And all I can think is, HOW FUCKING BRILLIANT these adds are for all these products. You have your literal "Red, White, and Brown" being sold as if someone were walking into a Baskin Robbins ordering ice cream.


Life is messy, human biology is messy, but it still amazes me how all these products get sold.

Guys with big dicks are out getting laid.  They are not wasting their time drawing up bullshit religions.
