Quote# 69121

This then spawned into a women debate, the agnostics claimed that Christianity suppress women and order them to be silent in the church. I argued that the Scripture teaches that men and women are equal, however, within this equality there is different roles. I then showed him from the Bible how a female is not allowed to preach / teach in the church and how that is a male only function. But, I stressed that it was in no ways declaring a woman lesser than a man.

If women cannot do something that men can do, that is not equality by definition.

`When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

Biological differences: absolutely. No amount of politics is going to change the fact that men create sperm and tend to have greater muscle mass than women and women are capable of pregnancy and tend to have more curves. Any discrimination that is based solely in social attitudes, however, is suppression (goes for either sex).

That's powerful, Joshua. Are you, perchance, a theologian?

Sure...only different roles...
the man has the role to order and the woman the role to obey and be the mans obedient property

I'd need a facepalm image the size of my house to describe my reaction to this.

Way to master doublethink, Joshua. Suppression totally equals equality. *sarcasm-o-meter explodes*

We're all equal, just some are more equal than others.

In his world, men and women are equal for very small values of equality!

Ok, I forbid you to have a voice in a church tht, nonetheless, you have to obey, but that´s not inequality.

The Bible teaches that man and woman are not equal and that woman is man's property.

I think you're suffering from oxygen deprivation Joshua. You're not making any sense.

I'm glad you stressed that. But can you actually prove it?

That's great Joshua. At least you are following some of the ridiculous stuff in the wholly babble. Now, about that part about giving away EVERYTHING you own and following jeebus......
