I got an email from someone recently who took exception to my comment, "We would be a lot further along as humans if we took reliance of religion for our moral code out of the picture". The author of this email stated we should follow the bible and there would be no divorce or unhappiness in marriage if all couples were "equally yoked" in a truly Christian marriage.

If that's true why isn't it working now? Statistics show Christians get divorced at the same rate as everyone else and a survey of 1000 Fundamentalist Christian wives were told to rate their marriage by adequate-needs met or happy-emotionally fulfilled. Only 2 of the 1,000 women chose

Thanks Simply Kool! I just can't agree with any philosophy that makes women inferior or discounts the role of women.

Bible is a book written by people many years ago. Edited many times by people. If you want to find in bible bad things - you will find some. If you want to find good things - you will find some too. Depends what you want to find.. what you want to talk about... This guy on video looks like professional actor.. It is just his business, he is payed for his show..... nothing more.

@Lana - he's a pastor in a church and those are his beliefs.

and he just proves what a misogynistic pig of a man he is by stating, "The whole reason your sorry soul is going to hell is because a woman told Adam what God thinks about things." And he claims it is what God wants. He has no way of truly knowing that. Actually, it's what HE wants and he's just hiding behind a Bible to get his way.

@Abby - thanks so much
@Leny - I am shocked he is so proud to feel that way - his willful ignorance about women is just so ugly.
@Cherie - thank you very much!

Thanks for sharing. He was absent for the lecture on Adam and Eve and exegesis. Oh well... I guess people are entitled to act a fool once in a while.

Hi Jolynn I am catholic and I believe in the bible and the holy word of God written by those men who were inspired by the holy spirite of God and you may not agree with the role of a woman in Gods plan for humanity but as for this pastor he has it all wrong. God did not intend for women to be treated in such a manner as this idiot proclaims they should be treated. God created women to be man equal a Companion in the journey of life, to love, honor and to procreat so humanity would continual throughout the ages. That is what I believe is God's plan for women not what that idiot say is God's plan..... :<)

@Robert - When I read your first sentence, "I am a Catholic and I believe in the Bible", I immediately jumped to the conclusion you were in the same league with a number of other Catholic men who used their religious persuasion as a reason to keep their women "in their place". No cutting of her hair, no having an opinion within the marriage and it was considered perfectly okay to beat one's wife because that's part of God's plan (breaking the lamb's leg so it doesn't leave the flock" as it was explained to me).
However you are a gentleman. You explained your thoughts beautifully and I thank you for your contribution.

@Ironic - agreed 100% with you. Sorry for your sore throat. The video is kinda funny if you just listen to the audience, they start out all, "YEAH! WE ARE WITH YOU! AMEN!"and then when he starts whipping on women, they start kinda mumbling and then finally at the end it's downright uncomfortable lol...........
