Should women be barred from entering a holy site if they are on their period in 2013?

So speaking out is like running into traffic? I guess them I am a traffic director then.

Not really. Speaking out can be done in different ways, and for different reasons.

Sometimes it's more like being the person that turned all the lights green at the same time.

Is it a questionable policy to you, a non-adherent, or are the women personally involved [who are daily members of the place(s) of worship] creating awareness or addressing this concern as something they themselves find socio-religiously controversial? Because, it seems that you, a non-adherent, are the one who is "raising awareness" (albeit, iconoclastically).

I would much prefer to hear dissatisfaction from female members of a certain religious place of worship than from someone who wishes to "dismantle" such places "brick by brick" without offering progressive reason on how to address such gender-based examples of what seems to you as discriminatory.

That's a last resort. Discussion is always important.

I wouldn't want to be part of a religion that did that. However, for many people, the practice would probably serve as a useful warning flag to indicate that the religion is one to avoid.

Totally agree.

Stop ignoring my post:

Is it only you who is "raising awareness"?

Or...

Are female adherents of various places of worship that attend those places regularly bringing this concern to the forefront?

Because, it seems to be you, a non-adherent, who is the one that is complaining about a policy that may be part of various places of worship.

You can't speak for person B if person B doesn't agree with you nor if person B wants you to speak for her or him. What part of that don't you understand? You would be infringing on her inalienable rights. Just like how various policies come off as infringing to you.

Wtf....

Serioulsy, stop straw-manning me and answer my questions. They are not that hard to answer.

Yes they are.

Are you telling us that you are a female adherent that is feeling denied access because you are on your period?

I don't think you understand...

Do you have substantial, infallible truth that thousands and thousands of women that regularly attend certain places of worship that have those policies are bringing this concern to the forefront?

Answer my question.

If they don't mind being barred, that's their choice. If they don't want to be barred, they won't be.

Wait. That makes no sense.

Church: 'Sorry, you can't come in. You're on your period'.

Woman: 'But I want to be able to go in'.

Church: 'Oh. Okay. Well...come on in then!'

Because there is no want to change. Why would people in power want to reduce their position by allowing more people to participate. You will always get non-sense answers when asking about non-sense rules.

As you have thoroughly demonstrated yourself with your blatant refusal to answer a direct question.

Sad that you are just as guilty of that which you whine so much about.
And all whilst claiming the higher moral ground.

What would be the reason for a child being born blind for eg,could Kama be more logical then say god screwing up one of his creations when he is said to be without fault.

It's genetic imperfection caused by living in an imperfect universe.

OTOH, barring women from the priesthood also has decidedly non-Catholic implications. I started a thread about this a while back:

http://www.religiousforums.com/foru...oes-catholic-theology-imply-support-male.html

I realize that. I've thought about the implications of that concept many times, myself. As I said, I think the LGBT issue is something the Church is going to have to gain greater understanding on and I hope and pray that it occurs quickly.

I agree that those temples in India should be dismantled with a bulldozed or the people who run it.

Those links are to show that it is still a relevant issue. I brought this topic at my firm and my co workers are going to protest the local temple to remove this policy which is similarly stated. Hopefully the when the media brings attention to this issue, things change.

Again if you do not care for this topic, do not respond. I want to know that the rationality of this policy is and how is it enforced. You may perceive it as a rant, then move on. There are people like me who want these sorts of institutions removed from existence.

Women give birth to the men who set the rules to kick them out.

Click to expand...

So, basically, you are saying that it is wrong for these holy sites to dictate to others what is and is not allowed on their holy site and you are going to gather up a posse to make them do what YOU think is right, right?

How are you being any different from those you rally against?

Should women be barred from entering a holy site if they are on their period in 2013?
