(27,985 posts)14. I am with you 100%. The way Christianity mistreats women is what pushed my family away years ago.
Some of the core tenents of Christianity focus on the wickedness of women.
Women are dangerous.
And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through child-bearingif they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. (1 Timothy 2:14-15
As a good Christian woman, the last thing I wanted was to be accused of having a Jezebel Spirit!! Jezebel is the bossy, bold and dominating woman, who wears the pants in the family, and in the Bible account, things ended badly for her: Throw her downJehu said. So they threw her down and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot. (2 Kings 9:33)
