Religious Women

[-Talbot-]

Unless I'm mistaken every religion treats you like a second class citizen... so what can the possible draw to religion be?

[kvalidir]

Paganism doesn't, you're bang on equal in all Pagan paths, other than that though you're dead right x

[jackthehat]

It is the promise of 'Jam tomorrow.....(forever with the Lord in heaven/paradise/the afterlife)' which seems to be the main lure. 'Putting up with things' here on earth is but a short-time in comparison, apparently, and well worth the trade-off.

Barking....

[ummmm]

Eff knows!

[ummmm]

Jack worded it better than me :-)

[ummmm]

Although saying that my Mother is a born again loony but her churches (she's a church hore) seem to treat both genders equally.

[Theland]

What precisely do you mean by, "treated like a second class citizen?"

[spathiphyllum]

How so?

[spathiphyllum]

Any example Talbot?

[-Talbot-]

Any examples?
How long have you got?
Religious nuts treat women like crap all over the globe.

Theland, //What precisely do you mean by, "treated like a second class citizen?" //

I'm surprised you asked that question. Wasn't it you who said you oppose women Bishops?

[kvalidir]

^^ BOOM^^ Mic Drop from Naomi :) Best answer x

[Theland]

That is not treating women like second class citizens.

[-Talbot-]

Yeah, that's just letting women know their place innit.

[Rockrose]

How is that not treating women unequally Theland? You are saying that women are not good enough to be Bishops why not?

[naomi24]

Theland, //That is not treating women like second class citizens. //

Why not? In your estimation they're clearly not equal, are they.

[Theland]

It depends on how you view it.
Through secular eyes, or from Gods perspective.
So if you don't believe in God, yes, women can take any role.

[Khandro]

Yes, you are mistaken; the Church of England doesn't, neither do many others, Buddhism, Evangelicals - though they may have done once, but the times are changing, with one glaring example where it isn't!.

[jackthehat]

It's not Theland's view that women 'should know their places'.....it is his Gods. And he's not going to challenge it an any way, shape or form....

[naomi24]

Theland, If God's injustice sits well with you, why did you ask what precisely was meant? You know - and you agree with it.

[Theland]

Jack - No. We should all know our place.
We have different places, not inferior ones.
