Women In 1 Corinthians

We criticize your theology because if we don't our children will be living under a christian theocracy. This is a rare indeed occasion that you've decided to bless us with your opinion that is not so mainstream christian. Your one opinion, however, doesn't count much considering the fact that you are one christian who have decided to comment while the general trend seems to indicate exactly what I said earlier, that christians welcome wacky comments from other christians by their silence. You should visit the various christian forums out there. I've spent some time looking through them in the past. Wacky christians there are allowed to post sexist and homophobic views without any challenge from other christians for pages and pages. This forum, sadly, is just one example of this pattern.As a direct example of this, look at ICANT's explanation of the 1 Cor chapter in question then look at buzsaw's explanation. Even though the two preachers don't agree with each other, they don't want to debate each other. All they are concern right now is how to beat my atheist ass. If this was about something that concern us atheists, then there is almost 100% chance that this discussion would have turned into a great debate between the atheists.Again, atheists seem be much more interested in debating with each other to try to come to an understanding while christians just want to throw out there their opinions and then at the same time agree with each other by not saying anything to each other, even if their views contradict each other. Seems to me like truth isn't that important to you guys.

OMG, are you guys trying to be ironic? Johnfolton made the most sexist comments I haven't seen for a long time and there was absolutely no reaction from you guys. But after I pointed out your silence implicating you agree with him, you guys piled onto me instead of him. What you guys just did is exactly what I've been trying to point out for a while now. It seems like you guys just go along with whatever wacky comments made by fellow christians as long as they're made in the name of christ. But god forbids if an atheist like myself jumps in and calls you guys out on it.CS, are you trying to tell me that you don't care enough about sexism in christianity, especially sexism in the name of christian religion?Wow, just wow.

No I wasn't. This is an issue that I've brought up many times, but you guys seem to have ignored them in the past. So, this time I used a little more direct language to get your attention. I wasn't trying to smear anyone. Yes, it does. If an evolution advocate says something like "man evolved from monkeys", you can be sure that a dozen or so other evolution believers, including myself, would jump on him and correct him right away. If an atheist claims that all atheists believe in Satan, you can be sure that I'd be one of the first to point out right away that atheists also don't believe in Satan.But everytime a christian says something wacky like johnfolton just did, all we get are some cricket chirpings from your side.Silence IS another way of telling the world you agree with them. No, I'm not. Johnfolton's comments are sexist in nature. But all you're worried about is me. Gee, I wonder why. Is it because you agree with him but don't want to admit it? Fine, then I'll take the name asshole.Again, I've been bringing this issue up many times now, but you guys have virtually ignored it. I thought I'd use a little more direct language this time, and surely enough you're all hung up on my direct language instead of paying attention to how there are sexist elements in christianity and how these elements are using your precious bible to justify their view. Well, if it happened just once or twice.. or thrice, then I would agree with you. But this is a pattern that is repeated over and over. As Percy asked in another thread, why don't creationists police themselves? I'm asking a slightly modified question now. Why don't christians police themselves? Isn't it because in both cases they believe in the bullshit but don't want to admit it?
