That's like looking at a beautiful art piece and focusing on the tiny stain from the time when it was being painted that someone looking at it spilled coffee on it 🤣

Except that piece of art isn't guiding millions of people's beliefs. What a dumb statement.

And what if it did?

Then it should be condemned and called out for the hate and bigotry that it represents. Lol. Not a hard concept.

How were the passages you described calling for hate and/or bigotry? Also would be good to reference where the passages you got came from as well so you're not taking them out of context

I didn't describe any passages. Arguing with someone who doesn't believe in tangible reality is a waste of time. Thank you for the conversation.

Oh you meant the beautiful parts of the new testament where it tells women to cover their hair and says they're not allowed to speak in public if they're with their husbands! So beautiful

I think you're referring to the rules surrounding the church in Corinth as to maintain dignity and order, but feel free to take anything out of context 🤣

"dignity and order"

So you're not as stupid as you seem, but you are as bigoted.

So, in order to maintain dignity and order, you believe women should be covered up and silent, or what?

It was about the church in Corinth - they wanted to stand out from the pagans

Right, and in the context of this conversation as a whole, this is beautiful according to you.

Considering that Christianity was revolutionary for women's rights, yes.

why? pride? control? doesn’t sound like they would stand out for their common sense, compassion, or spirituality.

Considering they considered women as property to have sex with and they should be uncovered to please men, yeah, it would have been for their compassion.

what is undignified about women talking? please be specific.

Ask the ancient Corinthian pagans
