I'm sorry that my view of creationism has offended you, I wasn't trying to just mock it, I was saying what I think "eating the apple" meant with a comical twist.bleed_the_freak said:I'm still stuck on the fact that several references were made to the Bible in a mocking fashion that were then used to imply, and not subtly, that all Christians are sexual prudes. Funnily enough, the parts she quoted were from the Old Testament, which is also known as the Torah (in Judaism). The Torah is the foundation of all three Abrahamic Faiths - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, it is most notably linked with Judaism (the Jewish Faith) because Christianity took significant departures after the coming of Jesus Christ and his New Testament. So...yes...I do find it both odd, ignorant, and bigoted that the references to a religious text significant to more than 2/3 of the world's population were directed in name only at Christianity. Especially in light of the way women are treated OUTSIDE of Christendom. But...yknow...it's trendy.
I mean...Jesus was the son of a single mother, defended an adulteress woman from stoning, and hung out with prostitutes. Clearly, he wasn't a misogynist. I never said jesus was a misogynist in my opinion I just think he killed a lot of Romans. I used it as an example because Christianity was the centre of western politics for hundreds of years, and in those years women had 0 rights and rape and domestic abuse were the norm. This only changed when politics started becoming more secular... Tis only an observation.
Your knowledge of Christianity vastly outweighs mine, I hope I can learn from it.
I only used Christianity as an example, I can't reference all other religions in one post.
I'm going to pm you now so this thread can go back to normal
Oh a weird thing happened, half of my reply is written in your text box.
