If Christianity didn't exist, the Dark Ages would've been fairly brief, and the long-running opposition to all things new would've never happened. Saying that female education only exists thanks to your religion is like saying that symphonies only exist thanks to the Church; you have no way of proving that, and all evidence points to the contrary.B.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14763090947684348998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-28394429830376688482011-02-03T07:41:21.986-05:002011-02-03T07:41:21.986-05:00No, my point is that the "good father" m...No, my point is that the "good father" metaphor doesn't make the sky daddy very appealing.LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-5060847731863423422011-02-03T00:05:41.626-05:002011-02-03T00:05:41.626-05:00I meant to write 'a better provider'.I meant to write 'a better provider'.Annahttp://sanityofhumanity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-84049220490372922772011-02-03T00:03:25.501-05:002011-02-03T00:03:25.501-05:00Funny post (thank you for the quick resume of the ...Funny post (thank you for the quick resume of the Bible, now I don't need to read it;-) <br /><br />Anyway, aren't you saying that because your dad (a human, I presume) wasn't much of a provider, then God is not much of a provider either?<br /><br />As it goes, God is supposed to be perfect and humans are supposed to be imperfect. However, humans are supposed to become better persons by imitating God/Jesus's attitude as outlined in the Bible. That is the whole point.<br /><br />If your dad had done that, he would have been a better person, and therefore, your post is actually unintentionally Christian.Annahttp://sanityofhumanity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-84088012124944764802010-08-09T13:42:22.986-04:002010-08-09T13:42:22.986-04:00Lot, the good father, after offering his daughters...<i>Lot, the good father, after offering his daughters to a marauding horde...</i><br /><br /><br />Ship-captains are also devishly-evil people who condemn dozens of males to death.The Blogger Formerly Known As Lvkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663692507774640889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-466207664873843862010-08-03T00:02:25.586-04:002010-08-03T00:02:25.586-04:00Dear Lady Atheist,
I think your comments are misl...Dear Lady Atheist,<br /><br />I think your comments are misleading. The Bible does not necessarily say Fathers love you daughters but this does not meant the theme is absent and the implication is not drawn. <br /><br />Ephesians says 'Fathers do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.' The instruction of the Lord is summed up in Jesus' words as Lord the Lord...etc and Love one another. Meaning loving wives and daughters is the very basic principle of Christian fatherhood.<br /><br />Furthermore, while the Bible was written male dominated society, Jesus broke all the norms with how he related to women, including them, teaching them and declaring that they were made in the image of God. And if it was not for Christianity there would be no education for women as well. <br /><br />Phil.Reverend Phillip Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066146652758132098noreply@blogger.com
