Paganism...

The roles of men and women in the church can be discussed in another thread please. :backtotopic

Happyjoy, I encourage you to really seek God and dive deeply into His Word for true meaning and understanding of what He wants to teach you. Mike has raised some good points.

happyjoy, I'm sorry, but you seem to take the opposing point of view from Christianity in virtually every thread you chime in on. If I see your name in a thread, I've come to expect that you will disagree with the Christian perspective.

What is the "Christian" perspective? What you really mean is that I usually take an opposing view from you. I am a Christian. There are so many versions of Christianity here of course I will disagree with people. None of us agree with anything. I will say I am not a young earther, I believe in equality for all people, I don't believe in conspiracies, I think Catholics, JW, and Mormons are Christians.

Also, I tend to respond to people I disagree with rather than just being a constant +1 poster.

So in conclusion I am a Christian, and I don't have to agree with you on everything to be one. There is just too much of You need to believe what I say in order to be a Christian, and yes before someone chimes in with the mandatory snarky "I don't think you have to believe what I say it is what the bible says", it is obvious from ready any forum here that no one agrees very much about what the bible says.

Paganism is also appealing to women, especially Wicca, because it has a female God. Christianity is often hostile to women. Through out its history women have been treated mostly as property. The trinity is an all boys club. Women can't speak or teach, or be pastors in most denominations. This new wave of demanding women submit is not good. It blames women for original sin. Yeah as if it's Eves fault Adam ate the apple. Women are evil and men don't have to take responsibility for their actions.

I think that as long as the fundamentalists keep pushing women as second class humans that more and more females will turn to turn to alternative religions.

I've been to Church servives with a female pastor and they were some of the most moving I've been to. I guess you did say "most denominations"...

I did say most, but I honestly think that is a sad commentary.
 
Interesting is the fact that I was moved by sermons given by *gasp* a female? Thanks :)
 
Could we get back on topic and stop calling each other 'sexist pricks'? Thanks.
