The misogynistic bible stories about women and "evil Eve" and how all women deserve punishment and are sluts and to be mistrusted due to this, and about childbirth and women's place and so on. REPULSIVE.
And my sister is deeply religious. She's MAGA of course. My Mom (a Democrat) was Christian too, but she was a normal Christian with common sense. The Bible was written by men in a time none of us have ever seen. I mean what self-respecting person - especially a female - would go along with what's in there?
Christianity is patriarchal. And stolen from paganism (which was more matriarchal if not more egalitarian in general). It's politics. Look at how it's being shoved into government, schools, down our throats, up women's vaginas, and everywhere else they can cram it?
Ugh. It's just revolting. And none of it makes sense. God created heaven and earth. He created the humans who are destroying the earth. Allegedly we were put here to fix that/help/make the world better. Honestly, it's not possible. It just isn't. What God would create a world full of hate, greed, lust, and suffering, slam people into it then tell them: "You fix it". What? I didn't make this mess caused by humans. I didn't make humans. They are a defective product. You blame the manufacturer, not the product.
See there. None of it makes sense. Pfft. Please... I mean it was just hell no from the get-go for me.
