Oh, so that’s why.
Ya’d think that by now, nothing coming out of the mouths of the deluded Godidiots would even phase me. You’re probably right. But they’re still worth a mention just becuse they’re so ridiculous. The latest is over at Ethics Daily, a Baptist site. It’s some of the most sexist things I’ve read in many a fortnight. Apparently, wives get abused because they rebel against their husband’s God-given authority:
Bruce Ware, professor of Christian theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., said women desire to have their own way instead of submitting to their husbands because of sin.
“And husbands on their parts, because they’re sinners, now respond to that threat to their authority either by being abusive, which is of course one of the ways men can respond when their authority is challenged–or, more commonly, to become passive, acquiescent, and simply not asserting the leadership they ought to as men in their homes and in churches,” Ware said from the pulpit of Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas.
Well, then.
Ware offered 10 reasons “for affirming male headship in the created order.” They include that man was created first and that woman was created “out of” Adam in order to be his “helper.” Even though the woman sinned first, Ware said, God came to Adam and held him primarily responsible for failure to exercise his God-given authority.
When Jenni gets home from work today, I’m going to run this by her, that she’s my “helper”, and gawdammit, the Lawd says you better go get me a beer, woman. Now. And after I do, I’m sure I’ll look even worse that that zombie pic a few posts down.
