I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Bible makes it abundantly clear that women are not equal to men. So either the Bible is false or god is sexist. I think the rampant sexism in the Bible is a clear indicator that the Bible was written by ordinary men and reflects their views, not the views of a benevolent god. Here are just a few of the many sexist verses in the Bible. 1. "...Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Genesis 3:16 2. "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." 1 Timothy 2:12 3. "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 4. In Leviticus 24:1-7 god himself says the value of women is less than that of men. 5. It's okay to sell your daughters as slaves and they are to be slaves for life unlike men who must be set free after 7 years. Exodus 21:7-11 6. Abraham and many of gods other chosen people have multiple wives and concubines. Here are just a few examples: Genesis 25:1-6, 2 Samuel 5:13, 1 Kings 11:1-6 7. Women who give birth are considered unclean for 1 to 2 months and are forbidden to enter the sanctuary or touch anything sacred. To cleanse her an animal must be sacrificed. Not only that but if the woman gives birth to a boy she is considered unclean for 30 days, but if they give birth to a girl it's 60 days. Leviticus 12:1-8 8. If the sheets aren't bloody after consumating a marriage the woman is stoned to death. Deuteronomy 22:13-21. It's important to point out that not all women bleed during their first time having sex, so many women were probably killed despite the fact that they really were virgins. Apparently god didn't foresee this problem. So much for being omniscient. 9. In Numbers 31:7-18 Moses' troops killed all the Midianites except the women and young boys, which they took captive. Moses was mad that they let them live and told them to kill all the boys and kill all the women who were not virgins, but they could keep the virgins for themselves.
10. In Judges 21:10-24 they once again kill everyone except the virgins whom they took and forced to be their wives. However, there weren't enough virgins for them all so the ones who didn't get a virgin were told to go to the annual festival of the LORD and kidnap a bunch more women and force them to be their wives. All of this was done by gods followers under the command of Moses. There are many more verses, but that should be more than enough to show that the Bible supports sexism. Side: What fail!

Sure. Original statement in the debate description was that this was why the poster hated religion. Religion on its own refers to any large scale belief system about the universe. Common religions include Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism just to name a few. If you religion pisses a person off then that means they dislike all religions. However the original post giving reasons for the hatred, cited only quotes from the Christian bible and only came from a select group of people interpreting the Christian bible. On the whole scale of religions that seems like a very very select group to base an opinion on. Side: You suck, Sitara.
