Your opinion is not fact, guillaumeb. This is obvious to everyone but you, apparently.

The fact is that your religion has been intricately tied up with patriarchy since it began. All the Abrahamic religions have. I understand it's your opinion that your religion is pure, perfect, and good, and that it can never, ever inspire anyone to do anything bad, but that's simply not the case. Your religion is a hodgepodge of good and bad ideas, many of them poorly stated/recorded/copied/translated. Giving the whole thing the veneer of supernatural truth as you try to do is very dangerous - and that has been the primary reason I have opposed your efforts in this forum. I understand this bothers you, and thus it's why you treat me so poorly. But I'm not going to stop opposing your agenda, because it hurts people.
