Originally posted by JimL View PostWhat Tass thinks of that was not the point. Why god was conceived of as male was the point Tass was making regardless of how he feels about the patriachal nature of ancient Israelites. You can bet if it were a Matriachal culture god would most likely have been conceived of as a female. Probably would have made for a better world as well.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostIt is demonstrably not the case. Women have gained equal rights in the developed world and acquired premier status in many governments worldwide. The days when women had the legal status of "chattels" have long gone.
The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of authorities remain men and even women who crow lowdly enough to give a different impression in certain fields (feminism) are owned by and do the bidding of men.
Feminism itself, of course, was also invented by men.Last edited by Darth Executor; 02-08-2018, 07:55 PM."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by Darth Executor View Posthaving equal rights doesn't stop you from being a follower. Neither does having nominal power in a government that's in the pockets of a corporation owned by men.

During my childhood, I only knew of only two men who ventured the opinion that women were inferior to men. One was in his seventies - he was generally considered kind of quaint (even by women). The other was in his early forties - everyone was scandalised.
Both were atheists (the younger was staunchly atheist) ... so, obviously, there were good and sufficient reasons for them to hold that opinion, and again obviously, no theist could lay any legitimate claim to such an opinion.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
