Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"

I was actually looking at some bible verses the other day and this isn't really anything that would be out of place in the bible:

1 Corinthians 11:  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man,   For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

1 Corinthians 14: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1 Timothy 3: But I (Apostle Paul) suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve

And there is a lot more about modesty, a woman's place in the home etc.. Women are not considered equal to man but one step below man as man are one step below God.

 

ah i see, you think because you've seen me attacking atheists over how illogical many of them are becoming that i must be christian, but i'm not christian

i believe not necessarily in equality but that everyone should be free to do anything they want once they do not infringe on the freedom of others

i would have thought this is why people were running from religions and into atheism but imagine my shock and horror after studying the atheist movement and seeing the same desire for repression of individual liberty but in a different and in some ways more irrational coat of paint

 

its just funny to me that i'm seeing people attacking the very idea of putting things into categories at all, but they don't realise thatits an automatic thing we do to rationalise our environment

this is a great example of that, you were thinking, well she's not A so she must be B lol
