Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.
Abrahamic religions will keep women under their boot as long as they exist.
Basically in an Abrahamic marriage, a woman enters into a life long sex/work slavery relationship. They can’t legally get out of again according to the Bible.
This is one of the reasons I have been against the principle of traditional marriage.
I am however married today, but only by secular procedure, not anything religious.
The same rules for marriage applies to men
What’s the point of marriage at all if separating would be easy anyway? Unless you implement some form of legal equality for cohabiting persons
What’s the point of marriage if you’re only with the person because separating would be difficult?
That’s why you marry someone you love and enjoy being around. You commit yourself to them.
Right, so it doesn’t matter how “easy” it is to separate.
Well, just say you did fall out of love or have an argument. For the sake of your children, you should remain together
That’s psychologically harmful to kids.
Two mature adults getting along? Kids are forced to have those parents and their siblings as well. Don’t see why husband and wife should be an exception
Never has this been true. Even if it’s true on paper in modern times. That’s why there’s “no fault” divorce.
Edit: although certain indigenous religions did give women more rights to divorce the spouse
I’m not talking about indigenous religions here, I’m talking about Christianity. It forbids divorce equally whether it be a man or a woman who wishes to separate
It most certainly does not.
Divorce is equally prohibited.
1 Corinthians 7:10-14
Paul goes out of his way to name both sexes.
What did Jesus say?
Edit to say: but if she does
You’re really going out of your way to be wrong.
In the way it is written, the commandment applies to both. “And the husband should not divorce his wife…” Is basically an abbreviation for the previous point, the note still applies. Essentially it’s like saying “the same applies for the husband”.
Jesus actually applied it to men:
Matthew 5:31-32
And further on, His full teaching:
Matthew 19:3-9
You made up the “easy” part to make your absolute bullshit make sense in your head.
Not true. It depends on the sect.
It just so happens those sects are never the most populous or powerful 🤷🏼
Kind of like Shia aren’t as numerous as Sunni. Surely there as no CIA interference…
Wow I didn’t know the CIA was 2000 years old.
Well aren’t you clever you be able to extrapolate.
Let’s spell it out for this who aren’t!
Governmental leaders, local authorities and their legal apparatchik were around back then. And if they couldn’t intimidate the truth-tellers into silence, guess what else they did?!
Einstein 🤓
Local authorities and the clergy were the same people for most of the history you’re describing. Your statements make no sense. At least you were unjustifiably condescending about it though.
No! 😯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abrahamic religions have had these problems for millennia, can’t really blame the spooks for their misogyny. “Oh but the spooks made it worse!” it was there to exploit in the first place. Can’t spiral a religion on their own misogyny if they reject it as abhorrent to begin with.
I can’t help it if people have no curiosity outside what was exploited and taught. I understand it, though.
