    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    They did to begin with, but the adoption of foreign cults increased with time as I have indicated. Moreover Roman Gods didn't always extended outside the Latin sphere of influence, although some cults did. The gods of the conquered countries usually remained intact, and were imported into Rome...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    I don't deny it, but as I said to Polymath, you can't expect 20th/21st century values in a 19th century economy. It's like those who complain the Geneva convention wasn't observed by Bronze Age Israelites entering Cannan 3500 years ago. You need to have some sense of historical perspective. My...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Anglicanism is very keen on the idea of equality in spiritual things. However in theological terms, it remains heretical (1 Corinthians 11:3). You may strive for equality but in your case, it is just a case of paganism supervening Christianity.

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    I think I have a fairly good understanding. The bible also imparts understanding on this point with its depictions of all the votaries of ‘Ashtart being eventually conquered. Even Rome sealed its own doom when it allowed Cybele & Isis worship into its pantheons and then to become dominant. The...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    It's why the world slipped up many centuries ago, at the time of the mongol conquests in the 12th century, by failing to eliminate Islam when it had the chance. Why is that inherently bad? Being chauffeured is much more pleasant than having to drive oneself. I know that because a female...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Well the apostle would chose to differ: 2 Tim 3:1 "But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    All these generalizations are water off a ducks back. The same equally applies to men, who have been discriminated against under the law at many times, e.g. in respect of employment rights. In the UK up until the end of WWII, and in the USA even today in some states like Virginia, there are...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    It's not untrue. Under the criminal law, women and men have generally always been treated equally. I'm not getting into a political discussion with you.

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    I should say good Hi fi, records, music, bikes and women, although not necessarily in that order. Everyone has their own idols. If you claim to be free of idolatry, I suggest it's because you don't critque yourself very well (quite common with the left - they love to critique others but they...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    For the most part men and women have always had equal rights, except in respect of areas in which their biology is different.

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    if it's so horrific, why is the conviction rate for marital rape approximately 0%? Always a question of degree. I think I said "apart from criminal acts" in my earlier posts, so I don't really know what point you're trying to make here. There are crimes, and there are behaviours which do not...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    My view or treatment of women has never been questioned or complained of or challenged except by feminists. I guess you are one of those commie Democrats. Did you know the USA under the Democrats is going to be one of the most communist nations on earth? I have had no much problem with...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Rape does not mean what you think it means. Marriage confers a one-in-flesh relation. There is no concept of violation because the two are one flesh. I agree however that intra-marital violence is distateful. It always has been. Christianity doesn't condone it, but on the other hand, the...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    It didn't bother Queen Victoria, nor most women of the Victorian era. Don't even know what you mean by "safety in the home." As far as I am aware, the most culpable abusers of safety in the home were female poisoners, of whom there were a fair number. A poor lot for women is far more related...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    There is no such thing as marital rape in the bible. In fact the word rape had to be re-invented to make that particular law. And what benefit exactly does a woman get from being protected by the law from "marital rape?" You've got about 0% chance of getting a conviction unless the parties are...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Oh, you mean the world was a better place when it used to worship the goddess? cf. Venus von Willendorf. I guess that being ruled by the goddess had its upside for women, but in the long run it didn't work out, as all the goddess worshippers got conquered, by the will of God.

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Atheists don't have God. They have idols. I can't speak for pagan religions. There may be oppression in them, but let's face it, the OP was largely directed towards oppression of women by Christian marital legislation. That is absurd. And if you think women were oppressed in the former times...

    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Eh? I was talking about match making, not good relationships. There's a difference being married to someone and having a good relationship. You really don't want to be married to someone who doesn't respect your religion.
