Is religion still relevant in modern society?

Secularism claims to have brought the emancipation of women. What has feminism brought to our society? Grief mostly! Men can't handle their partners, and many marriages crumble because women don't understand their place. You don't like this? Ask most of the succeeding civilizations that preceeded us what they think about it.

 

Their place?... I think maybe you should understand your place you [censored myself because it's inappropriate for this thread]. It's people like you that make the world suck.

What do you understand by their place sapphi? Don't make me upset at you. If you're willing to insult me, you better be willing to give me some kind of explanation.

@bold. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Atheist or not. Unless you have absolutely no moral sense, in which case...

Have a taste of religion, see if it might be relevant for this, archaic as it may be to some:

James 3 (Writen roughly 45 AD)

 

1Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.

3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

 

 

Proverbs 18 (written roughly 1000 BC)

 

21The tongue has the power of life and death,

and those who love it will eat its fruit.

 

What do YOU understand by 'their place'? You're the one who used it. You're the one who thinks women have/should have a 'place' they should stick to. I know what you meant, and I think you're just as sexist as that book you keep quoting.
