While i understand that some people use the bible to demean woman i see it diffrently entirely. After all, Mary was the first to see christ, because she was faithful in being at his tomb. He choose to appear to her. To me this would be a direct indication that christ didn't appear to side with one sex over the other. But again this is only my interpretation.
As for doubting you, of course i don't. I don't choose to participate in wicca or witchcraft or buddism, islam or the like but i wont degrade anyone that does. You have the freedom to worship however and whomever you want as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. You are going to find nut jobs everywhere of all faiths that hate all people not directly aligned with them.

Absolutely Skippy, I come not to praise Caesar but to bury him...in other words, I have absolutely nothing against Christianity (was one for 54 years afterall), it...like all other religions that believe in a supreme being, is a path to the devine. Rather, I point out that many (certainly not all) of the faithful have an arrogance brought about by the "one way" concept that results in degrading non-believers. Christ may have honored women but the church didn't...and not just in early "canon" (ie: Joan of Arc).
