Christianity, Islam, Hinduism ect ect. With the exception of Buddism all of these major religions are Patriarchal. Women are the scapegoats or the subservient ones in many myths and legends and religious writings. Constantly having to deal with the you must be a slave of the household bullshit or be paraded around like cattle in order to be married at an early age to some sick pedophile claiming its "Gods Will".
(Yeah that marry my daughter site isnt a joke but even if it is this shit still goes on).
Women were supposedly quoted by Jesus as lower than men and made to serve them. (If you do not believe me read below)
The old Testament they were also made as scapegoats and mere slaves stricter laws were placed upon them by "God". (this comes from my 3 years of research on the bible reading it front to back I still have yet to read the Qur'an but Bina is enlightening me on that.)
Examples of women being used as scapegoats in myths and religious texts are Adam and Eve (supposedly Eve influenced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit) Pandoras box. (Oh no! A woman brought upon chaos and destruction in the world!) Aaaand maaany many many other myths and legends. I wonder if these quotes could have been edited by men in order to keep women under lock and key? NOOO OF COURSE NOT! NO RELIGION WOULD DO THAT!
If there was a god up there ( and i do not deny there if there is or is not) i think this supreme diety would kiiiinda make both sexes equal. Not having one subservient to the other. In my opinion women were built pretty damn strong. Ford tough as a matter of fact. Dont believe me? Here are some examples of how strong a woman is built:
1. Has to spend 9 months carrying something the size and weight of an average bowling ball while going through cramps, morning sickness, craving, bloating, and mood shifts.
2. After doing this they push something the size of a bowling ball through a hole the size of a baseball or ping pong ball ripping the vagina wall after going through hours and hours of painful labor.
3. After all this they have to have this newborn suck on thier nipples for months and months on end even while the baby teeths which can be quite the painful experience. Not to mention going back to work shortly after pushing this bowling ball through there baseball sized hole.
4. In some cultures women survive a life of dodging castration, breast ironing ( so they dont look attractive and can go to school and get an education without having to worry about some guy snatching them up for marraige before they can finish school) stoning, or being accused of witchcraft (this still happens in africa).
5. Or having to deal with being called a whore or slut because they slept with more than one guy in a weeks time yet if a guy sleeps with more than one woman in a days time hes AWESOME right?
As alot of you know I tend to rant and rave about shit but i only rant and rave about stuff i KNOW about. I spent 3 years researching the bible. I was interested im interested in researching ALL religions. But i found many many hypocritical verses and chapters in this book that disturbed me. Its FULL of versus that demean or condemn women. This isnt the only religious book that does this. The Qur'an and a couple of other religious texts do this too from what ive researched.
So why make woment he scapegoats? Why make them seem like the bad weaker sex? Male dominancy. Somebody wanted to keep them under control and keep men in power thats why Paganism (which saw usually had female leaders) was seen as at threat.
Heres a few examplesof this male dominancy:
"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father. She shall be burnt with fire." -Leviticus 21:9
Interesting...so if your a priest and your daughter isnt a virgin burn her eh? What about your son? Oh yeah i forgot only women can be whores right?
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." (Leviticus 12:2)
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus 12:5)
Anotherwards when a woman gives birth she must be isolated for 7 days because supposedly she is "unclean".....but if she has a FEMALE child shes unclean for twice as long...what the fuck is up with this?
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)
Translation if your fighting with someone and your girl runs up and grabs the opponents balls to help you out cut off her hand and feel no remorse. She should not have grabbed the other guys balls. The hell, who thought this one up? Obviously someone who was fighting the wrong man and had his balls grabbed by his wife.
"Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges 19:24-25)
This was a scene where an unnamed Levite and his concubine spent the night in an old mans house well the men of the city tried to harrass this old man and his male visitor ordering him to give up the new guy so they could rape him. So the old man instead offers his daughter and the visitors concubine. They refused so he throws the concubine to the men and they rape her all night. She died from this....you know what he did for her after she died? Well first he comes in finds her dead on the ground and orders her to get up like shes some packmule. After he sees that she is dead he cuts her up into multiple pieces and sends her to different parts of Isreal. "When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel" " (Judges 19:25)
Another Peaceful quote from the peaceful prophet Jesus:
"Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works." (Revelation 2:22-23)
If a woman commits adultry even the child produced from the adultrous sex must die? Sound like a peaceful prophet anymore? It also states this in the Qur'an says Bina but its written differently.
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)
Anotherwards what this bible is saying what Jesus the peaceful prophet is supposedly saying is women are inferior to men. Bina told me that this was written almost exactly the same way in the QUR'AN (the islamic bible) even the wording sounded the same to her. Wiiiierd huh?
"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
Basically its saying women are lesser than men and must speak unless spoken to. This is yet another verse making women seem like the lesser of the sexes..
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
Need I say more? If you are not disgusted by now read this one:
"Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." (Hosea 13:16)
Samaria was a place that did not believe in god so all nonbelievers must die including the children huh?
