Made me remember that in church (Catholic) when i was a kid, that women had to wear something on thiers heads while in church while men had to remove and hats, i guess that was the reason. Strange because jewish people wear hat as a from of humility toward god.

Weird any way!!

Yeah, but the Jews are going to go to Hell because they don't believe that Jesus is the "Saviour".

This is one hugely based subject in my life, I found so many many wrong things within churches and religions. Throughout the years, I've put the pices of the puzzle together and figured out the basic underlying reasons to all of this. "The Controllers", the men in early times who decided to change the way people would believe in order to control the world and develop things "their own way". So they set out to first take the books of the bible, remove all really worthwile writings, and keep the rest to put into the bible. In doing so, they could later point out certain things written in the bible to make people feel ashamed and guilty and to make them change their ways of thinking and so on. Women had been free, wise, wonderful women of leadership and healing. Some of the controllers resented that fact and set out to take away all rights of leadership of the women and place it in the hands of men. That was when everything began to change drastically, and any woman who refused to comply was branded an evil witch who could force ( ... )

I agree wholeheartedly. Hell, women are the ones we all come from, and yet who took the credit there? God, Mr. Supreme He-With-A-Capital-H.

Ah, yes, got to love those culturally relevantisms that people say "WTF?" to now. There's another Bible passage (also Corinthians, if I'm not mistaken) that says a woman should either keep her head covered in church or else shave her head. Why? Because in that culture at that time, women who went around bare-headed were prostitutes, so it basically means, "don't come to church dressed like a prostitute." The latter stuff if just weird considering the popular depiction of Jesus...we keep the Medieval view; the Roman view showed him beardless, in fact there's a cathedral in Europe where we see two different Jesuses. Part of the idea of modern Christianity is to separate what is culturally relative and hence just a part of the times, from what the core ideas are. Of course, I'd be hard pressed to call myself a Christian these days...I believe the day I found my beliefs were almost identical to those of a certain Satanist, was the day I realize that I wasn't Baptist and he wasn't Satanist...we were both something else, which had ( ... )

all of the holy books are hypocritical. sainte_4 March 7 2007, 07:35:08 UTC

which is why i do not pick apart the bible as such. it's impossible to keep up with what was lost in translation and what was meant to be written. there's a lot of stupid crap in there that doesn't apply to the true message of the bible, the koran- any of it.

we're not all hypocrites, my darlin'. ;)
