Are there any religions or cults that you just do not understand? With in reason.

The household and the congregation. Absolutely. I'm not suggesting that the bible degrades women. Women have their role just as men have their role. Each has responsibilities, but in our modern society some so called progressives have chosen to blur the lines between males and females in the church. I'm simply pointing out the flaws in most modern christianity.

In christianity women were actually considered to be inferior to men. Don't know about actual scriptures, but if you read works of some notable christian philosophers, you'll see that they considered animal excrements above women. The reason why the lines have blurred in churches today is because churches don't wanna alianate people (youcan't get away with treating women as being inferior nowadays).

Now i'm going to need to see citation on that one

The best example I can come up with right now is St. Odo of Cluny, a Catholic saint, and his work Collationum Libri Tres. In that book (page 133) he  sais that beyond women's appearent grace, they have dirtiness inside them, and since men do their best to avoid touching vomit and munure with even their fingertips, why would they even want to hold in their arms a pathetic bag of excrements (i.e., a woman). If you check out the works of all proeminent Christian thinkers and personalities back then, you'll see that they all had similar views.
