Get on with it!
Haven't read the original thread, but I think I get the idea where this is going so I'll try and derail it right here.
I am Christian but the Bible DOES contradict itself clearly when Jesus says something like 'truly there wouldn't be a new testemant if the old were not flawed'. I think this simply acknowledges that humans tamper with God's word 'telephone' style, and Jesus revamped it(it's obviously been tampered with yet again in the past 2000 years).
Jesus constantly broke old testament rules; why else would the pharasees be on his back all the time? So if we just say, "yeah, the NT disagrees with OT sometimes" then we can move on to how Jesus treated all races and both sexes as equals despite his bigoted disciples. If we conclude that then there's no question that women can be equal to men because Jesus being the messiah has more say-so than any disciple.

Wanna feel God? Step onto the wrestling mat and you'd be crazy to deny the uplifting spirit.

or, as this is better for you financially, you could always fix the roof.

in this case how can anything in the Bible be trusted?
That's a good question that calls for a very complicated answer that would send the whole thread off topic.
DC85 writes:
ok that might be a better way to put it... Maybe you need to repair your beliefs. If it has problems Find a belief that fixes it
Or just refresh yourself in your belief. If you repair a stone block with wood or wood with stone there will just be more problems. Also, if one decides he doesn't believe in Vishnu and Shiva, he can't just go ,"well, I guess I'm gonna believe in Allah now!"
It's one thing to disagree with one religious doctrine, but if you believe in the Diety that goes with it then you can't just convince yourself to disbelieve so you can convert.
Anyway, if you want to get more into the above statements it'd be best to start a new thread because this has nothing to do with women's rights.

Why is everyone on here calling me a kid?!
Dee poor baba is too young.
The f**k is that supposed to mean?! (Exactly what I said out loud when I read that sentence, edited for content.)

Re: Why is everyone on here calling me a kid?!
You didn't take that seriously did you? I always call people such things, tis my bizarre sense of humour, which I see has failed to reach your side of the pond
That's fine, I didn't take you seriously; yelling obscenities is my typical reaction to anything somebody says. It's just that yours was only the 5th post or so that implied that I'm a kid or directly bitch slapped me with the 'you're so young' stick.

Even though
you start your posts' first sentences in your subject, that one was great. Up for Post of the Month because that's some good literary observation!
