But you're talking to me, sonship now.
Dedicate some attention solely to me and don't get your rebuttals confused.
Why no divine oracle ot have a look of delight on their faces standing over you at your deathbed ?
Well Gee, why does it just HAPPEN that men are on top in religion and women are seldom allowed entrance into the upper circles? And I see the verses about adultery as just throwing a bone to women to try to calm them from that terrible verse about worth.
You seem to think because other cultures treat women worse that makes it ok for the rules of the bible.
It is NOT ok and it is atrocity for other cultures to treat women the way they do, blaming the women no matter what.
That is my point, that is such an example of anthropomorphic behavior, it just tells me it was codified in the bible and did not in fact come from some god talking to Mo.
It was Mo's personal bias coming out, pure and simple, and the people bought it all hook line and sinker.
What I can't understand is how people can be duped by that even now in the 21st century, buying the entire line without even thinking about it.
How many people even LOOK at Leviticus today? It is so ingrained they don't even need to see the words, just take it for granted GOD told us women are worth less than men and then a few verses on, throws some bones to assuage the ego's of the women involved.
You can look through all my posts, I NEVER put down women.
Here are some women who got screwed out of getting a Nobel prize BECAUSE they were women. I say this is just one example of what was codified in the bible in Leviticus:
