"Sometimes the world is just too ridiculous to believe!"
That is the way I remember a line from the movie Little Big Man. Today I watched a story about the film Fight Church on Good Morning America. One of the cage fighting pastors says, "Mainstream Christianity has feminized men." My first question is, "Who does he think has been running the church, women?" My second question is, "Are they reading the same Gospels I am?"
Using God as Justification
As a Christian Feminist I have to question the objectification of the young woman in a bikini who carries a sign into the ring. As a retired kindergarten teacher my heart breaks for the scared little boy who is told, "God said, 'don't be afraid, don't be discouraged'" as his pastor dresses him to go into the ring.
Why do we believe what we believe?
I wrote the book, Prostitutes,Virgins and Mothers: Questioning Teachings About Biblical Women in part, because my religion has been hijacked by people who call themselves Christians yet live a lifestyle of violence.
