Actually, I think he might have said, “than any other religion”.

Has Christianity done more for women than other religions?

Objectively speaking, has Christianity done anything at all for the advancement of women in society?

If so, when did it take place, and are we sure that it shouldn’t be attributed to other social factors taking place simultaneously?

It is the most unsubstanciated teaching i have ever come across.

These churches and this mentality do exist. It’s still that way in the Baptist church I used to go to. The men have the prayer breakfast and the leadership positions. The women get the auxiliary and the child care.

Here is a list of Scriptures straight from the Bible about how Christians are to view women.

MoLL—-

Have you gone for any counseling regarding the suicide attempts and thoughts in that direction? I would agree that women have it harder then men (I am a man), but many women love being women, and are glad they were born that way–in fact, I think the majority do. It sounds like their may be some deeper underlying issues you might want to discuss with a counselor. Just my two cents.

why must a wife obey the husband? Should she do so even when he’s wrong? Why would she need to obey at all if they have an equal, loving partnership? Why not have him obey her? Ah, but that doesn’t make sense to me either. It’s fine for kids to obey parents, but a spouse obeying a spouse? What?
