8. But the 11 Left Behind Had to Get Women Back into the Box
So Jesus dies, or is resurrected, or whatever YOU believe happened.

Then there are the apostles left behind. Lots of questions, much powerful faith, no leader.

They can't let one of the women take over. So they figure out a way (particularly Paul) to put 'em back into the box. The women take care of business, the men make speeches.

John wrote that a man is responsible for his wife's relationship with the Christ.

Christianity as enunciated by Paul and John is as sexist as Islam -- it's just been ignored by the liberal Protestants. This sexism is embraced by most Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians, and many Roman Catholics.

One of the many reasons I can't sign on to Christianity as THE ANSWER.
