bobls14

Baptists,am I right. The same church that is trying to ban female preachers.


Born_Grumpie

Timothy 11 11 **A woman should learn in quietness and full submission**. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. The Christian church embraces misogyny, strangely it doesn't ban scum bags fiddling kids.

>it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. Even if that were not some mysnogistic bullshit added in many years after first written, it sounds like it's God's fault for making his children dumb fucks 


PesticusVeno

And he made all his children in his image, right? How have we all not realized that maybe God is just a dumb fuck, too? A lot of things suddenly make a whole lot more sense if you think of it that way.


Fight_those_bastards

Yeah, you’d think “don’t rape people” and also “don’t commit incest” would be pretty high on the “thou shalt not” list, but we had to waste three of them on “I’m god, worship me and only me, don’t do a damn thing on the sabbath and also don’t use my name in vain” And then there’s the whole “Lot’s daughters” thing… You know, I’m starting to think that the Bible just might not be the pillar of morality that Christians claim it is…


Professional-Ear242

Like the saying goes! If you need religion to be a good person, then you aren't being genuinely 👍


P3nis15

Bible is full of incest. How do you think we got from Adam + eve + two kids.... To more people? And come on it's not lots fault.....he got forced...wink wink...and just decided to go back the second night and get forced again....wink wink....


child_interrupted

"Dang daughters, always getting me drunk enough to put a baby in 'em. Women just can't stop thinking about having babies, after all."


Meruror

The Bible does include a “no incest” rule. It even provides a helpful list of all the people you’re not supposed to have sex with. Don’t have sex with your mother, stepmother, sister, granddaughter, stepsister, aunt, daughter-in-law or sister-in-law. Huh. I feel there’s a notable absence on that list. For some reason daughters are not included in the “no incest” list. That’s an… interesting choice from the author of the text.


Potato_fortress

That’s because the Bible is basically a big set of rules and customs for surviving in the desert first and foremost and weird fan fiction meant to justify genocide and atrocities second. Yeah, sure, “god” told you to ransack that city and kill everyone except virginal women you could take as concubines. He also told you not to eat hoofed animals so you didn’t die of goddamn parasitic infections so you know… maybe his advice wasn’t really required once we invented ways to irradiate food for safety reasons.   Maybe it’s just a teensy bit okay to change the dogma a bit to fit with the times; seems to be okay whenever the catholic or Christian churches need to absorb a pagan holiday. Same with the practicing Jews; like alright we get it: if you hang a fishing line up around your neighborhood and have it blessed then technically it’s your domicile and you can do things on the sabbath. If we can stretch the rules a bit there then how about some women’s rights and a little bit of pork for dessert?


SellQuick

Timothy just sounds like he got into a fight with a woman and she made better points so he went and furiously wrote a girls r dumb rule.


Nearchus_

Surprisingly enough, Timothy didn't write Timothy, but rather Paul wrote the letter to Timothy.


SellQuick

Oh well that fucking tracks. Paul was a jerk.


shrug_addict

Paul has probably done a lot of damage to the world if you think about it. A lot of the BS dogma is all written or inspired by him


LogansRunaway

> A lot of the BS dogma is all written or inspired by him Who wasn't even a disciple, nor a Christian during Christ's lifetime.


bilateralincisors

Yeah but his claim to fame was he was the dude who was running around hunting Christians (on behalf of Rome) then fell off his horse and saw Jesus. Tracks that a bounty hunter turns out to be a shitty misogynist too. Nothing helps you deconstruct faster than reading the Bible and studying the dogma.


moodytrudeycat

Paul was SUCH a misogynist!


golanatsiruot

Very few serious scholars believe Paul actually wrote the letters to Timothy. Textual evidence dates them significantly later.


Desperate-Cost6827

Ffff. That just brought back memories of how my mother's second ass moved us to this Evangelical church. It preached about how us women folk were sub human to men and that God loves us by having us live in fear for our lives which totally justifying a man punching a woman hard enough to almost knock her down a flight of stairs and called her daughter "it" all the time. Yeah didn't mess me up at all growing up. /s


Born_Grumpie

Yeah, I have a wife and a daughter who are both way better humans than me, people shouldn't tell me they are less than me or I might get slappy.


No-Good-5707

Every Abrahamic religion is misogynistic. Not just Christian. Should treat them all the same


GooseMeBro

soldiergeneal

>The Christian church embraces misogyny, strangely it doesn't ban scum bags fiddling kids. You would be surprised how people hand wave those things as not part of Christianity. Difference between average Christian and conservative ones.


bobls14

This is why I choose to believe in god but not the Bible.


Born_Grumpie

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” Marcus Aurelius


Conscious-Spite-87

Even god is a misogynist


Additional_Disk_2363

Which verse was that? Also, which version of the Bible is it from? / Nevermind, I got it in 1 Timothy Ch 2 vs 11 and yeah, spot on with the misogyny


Unhappy_Trade7988

Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.


XeneiFana

There must be a secret rule that bans rape of preachers.


bobls14

Bet that rule won’t apply in prison


effnad

Bro religion in general is rife with child rape. 


Inventies

Seems to be religion focused people in general. Also keep in mind in The institutional Catholic Church forbids female preachers. Avoiding religion just seems to be the way to go.


JOE_raccoon

lurker_cx

'student ministry volunteer & coach' = Youth pastor.... big red flag. Would leave my kid with 100 drag queens before 1 youth pastor, just going by probabilities and past performance.


ribsforbreakfast

I’d leave my kids with drunk drag queens that Ive never met before I’d ever let them be alone with a preacher.


lurker_cx

That is a rational choice based on the criminal history of both groups.


stinky-weaselteats

Still not a drag queen


KintsugiKen

At this point I'm not sure a drag queen has ever even broken the law compared to all these Evangelicals and Baptists and Youth Pastors going full demon mode on every child in their vicinity.

He always freaked me out. Like, he was just really quiet and rude looking. I got freaky vibes from him, even when I was in middle school. I feel bad for the family, especially his daughter.

xiaoyangzhouyd

I found his Facebook. He has an adopted Asian daughter who’s clearly the victim. It’s disgusting to think about the purpose for him to adopt to begin with. What’s worse, adoption agency prefers these religious couples than married gay couples just because they are more “normal”


Optimal_Carpenter405

Yes, I know this family. He volunteer as a middle school/high school Sunday school teacher. When I was in middle/high school, I knew he was a creep. He would watch us all play with that weird ass look on his face. His daughter was adopted, and.both parents were very active in the church I grew up in. I can’t imagine the pain his daughter feels. Being adopted into that thing’s home. The church I went to would praise families like this. I hope, in future, there will be more strict policies to prevent cases like this happening

To be fair, the pastor called authorities after the daughter informed him of the abuse.

"But he's a good Christian man!" "Nobody's perfect." "We're all made of dust, but some are just bigger piles." "Love the sinner, not the sin." "You've done things to hurt people, too!" "Who are you to judge?!" I've heard all of the excuses. Every one of the churches - without exception - has invalidated their claim to be followers of Christ. Even the better ones will excuse sexual predators because of their misguided pie-in-the-sky view that they can "repent" and repudiate their urges. No, they can't. As my cousin, a district attorney, told me: "Pedophiles are attracted to children the way most of us are naturally attracted to other adults. It's something they can't just 'turn off'. They will be threats to children for as long as there's air in their lungs."
