I APOLOGIZE FOR HURTING THE CHRISTIAN BELIEFS :

TREATMENT OF WOMEN IN THE BIBLE :

Women are dumped on throughout the Bible, and are still being dumped on in the churches. How many denominations
allow women to be clergy? If they are clergy, they still aren't equal to the men in the clergy. And it is supported 100% in the bible

It starts in the second account of creation... women were only created because Adam could not find a suitable wife (help
meet) in the animals that God showed him. On top of being second string to cattle and sheep, women were created from a

When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit of knowledge of Good and Evil... Who got the harshest of punishment? Eve!

Then Eve got pain in childbirth, pain in conception... and became a servant of sorts to Adam. Not to mention the official ,
punishment for Adam was for listening to his wife. (Genesis 3:16-17)

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's." Yes sir, the wife ranks right there with the ox and ass.

That's not all. Exodus 21:7-10 covers the rules of selling your daughter, her master making her marry him, and then her
role if he wants more wives. I see the woman's view and feelings mattered quite a bit here.

Exodus 22:16-17 is a real good one. If a man sleeps with an unwed virgin, he must marry her. But if her father refuses to
give her to the man, then the man must pay the "pay money according to the dowry of virgins"... is this crazy or what? I
can see it now...

Man: Hi sir, I just shtooked your...
