Chicken and egg. Which came first, the hatred or the blame? And how can we hate someone unless we also fear them?
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've heard that making adultery a sin was an easy way of universalizing sin for the Israelites, and since the people in charge were men, it became easy for them to shift the blame onto women. Then again, I don't remember where it was I read it, but I think the source also made remarks about this being in contrast with the Egyptians not even having a word for virginity in their language, and given that A) this appears to be drawing a link to the captivity in Egypt, which there is no objective evidence for, and B) there's a reason the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis hasn't moved beyond being a mere hypothesis in the past 90 years, this may not be totally accurate.

Another one of these?
Meh, I was taught many things in my faith. "Hating the female body" wasn't one of them.
Lots of paintings of naked people (men and women) at the Vatican.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Maybe it doesn’t happen intentionally, but that’s how shit like this usually ends up: women get screwed, and not in the ways they’d like to be screwed. And it’s often more literal than any sane person should want.

Do you really want to point this out in a thread that Min might be reading?

So why when they look at what god said is very good and they say yuck, filthy, dirty, nasty. Get it away. I don’t want to see that. Book chapter and verse?
Quote:Well, think about it. These religions developed in the ancient world, before Ivory soap, before Right Guard. There was no Aqua Fresh, no Head n Shoulders. They had to deal with the human body in the raw. And it was nasty,
Is it any wonder that these ancient religions are nolonger relevant in a world undreamed of by thos who first encoded them in holy writ?
is it your understand that the total of the bible consists of rules concerning hygiene? Otherwise why would you have such a narrow biblical worldview? oh that's right to try and create a narrow minded out look on the bible. But what happens when idk you come across someone who knows better? who knows the bible not centered around hygiene or written out to hate women?
If you don't know it make you look very stupid or very biased, someone seeking to be victimized by rules that literally don't apply to anyone except those who specifically belonged to a religion 4000 years ago. As this brand of that religion is no longer practiced.

I wonder where magic book commands that it;s followers gaslight every living human being about all the things......?
Is there a chapter and verse for that?

I'm sure they don't pay as much attention to women, when they have all the little boys they could ever want.

The magic book admits to gaslighting believers, amazingly enough !!!
Jeremiah 8 (KJV)
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
Ezekiel 14 (KJV)
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
