Reply #19: Religion-into-law rightwingnuts are devoid of thought . . .

[TaleWgnDg]

The "Christian" rightwing, e.g., The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) (the Baptist schism that left the national Baptist organization in 1848 because it believed slave-owners had a right to own slaves as property and insisted upon teaching that as a religious tenet in their missionary work) believes that women particularly their wives are subordinate to their husbands and must obey their husbands in all matters.

On the other hand, feminists believe that they are equal to their husbands.

"Christian" rightwingers believe that feminists are the cause of the break-up of traditional families since wives no longer remain at home to be homemakers and raise the children exclusively. This, of course, does not recognize that America no longer can survive on one paycheck for a family.

They also believe that feminists are the cause of so-called "non-traditional" families, i.e., families that no longer have "one man and one woman plus children" as the nucleus of the family. They blame feminists for the divorce rate in America -- despite the Bible Belt having the highest divorce rate in the country.

They blame the crime rate on feminists because it is they, feminists, who have "broken 'traditional' families" that cause criminal behavior -- again, despite the Bible Belt being one of America's most violent areas of the country.

They push sex-abstinence-until-marriage; however, statistics reveal once again that the Bible Belt leads the country in out-of-marriage childbirths, leads the country in sexually transmitted diseases (STD). And that so-called "abstinence-only sex education" leads to AIDS since abstinence is void of condom distribution and education as well as "safe sex" education.

This list of hypocrisies goes on and on and on and on and on . . . and the operative word is I-G-N-O-R-A-N-C-E. And it is this culture that they want to proselytize upon the rest of the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
