    Why we left the Catholic Church

    I just saw this. I rejected the authority of the Pope based on church dogma that I disagreed with as unbiblical. The most obvious include Mary remaining a virgin for life and being sinless for life, "The encyclical Mystici corporis Christi from Pope Pius XII (1943) holds that Mary was also...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    While I accept their salvation I do not believe there is any biblical integrity among Christian feminists. Zero!

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    I avoid thinkers of all kinds since Francis Sheaffer died. I get my feminism from the American news and Blogs. The feminist I read every day is blogger Ann Althouse. She's the rare liberal who tolerates a large conservative readership. And she's been published in the New York Times, so she's no...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    If feminism resulted in at least a replacement-level birth rate that would solve my first concern. I am also concerned with the feminist desire for totalitarianism. Broadly speaking, feminists either deny the practical biological differences between men and women or proclaim male moral...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    I am right. The general direction of God for us is submission. There are special occasions where God intervenes and rescues his people, but it is not up to them to rescue themselves. We must wait for God. The NT intensifies this general direction of submission. Good luck finding a verse...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    Some people have brought up the "oppressive" nature of the patriarchy. Yet, all governments and all laws are oppressive to those who resist them. The Bible's general solution to oppressive authority is obedience to that authority. Slavery, patriarchy, war captives - all are commanded to get...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    Under patriarchy, men forced other men to take care of the women they impregnated and the children they produced. Societies that didn't do that didn't last long. Mass unwed birth is a good sign for today's culture. But it's better than the Feminist solution - abortion. Today, women are having...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    I agree this is a problem under feminism but I presume this doesn't happen under patriarchy because fathers and brothers will protect/defend/chastise their female relatives from having births without marriage. Patriarchal families/societies also strongly "encourage" men to marry the women they...

    Justice Breyer announces retirement

    Regarding Michelle Obama for Supreme Court: President Obama still has a lot of power in the Democratic Party. Does he really want his wife to outshine him? Does he want to listen to a generation of Michelle worshippers in the media while he remains in the shadows? I'll bet he can find and...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    The key reason that Feminism leads to low birth rates is that as women rise in status. education, and reproductive autonomy, they have fewer children. For a country to sustain its population women must average a little over 2 children each in their lifetimes. Now in many countries, the birth...

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    Does this mean that the rise of illegitimate births is correlated with the rise of Feminism? That suggests that we need more patriarchy.

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    Give Feminism time and it will give us similar results to communism, just as its promises of a better world are similar. The promise of power to the masses always ends up in power to the elite and misery for the masses.

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    You appear to be too preoccupied with other people's arguments to see what I'm saying. I'm not interested in the maleness of the patriarchy. I am interested in the sustainability of patriarchy and feminism as they are practiced. Feminism appears to trend toward collapse based on the timeworn...

    Justice Breyer announces retirement

    Back when Reagon was president, or perhaps running for president, he promised to nominate a woman for the Supreme Court. So, I guess these things have been with us for a while. At least she was white. (that is sarcasm and irony)

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    I think you and really most people are reading your desires into the Bible and finding themes that were not intended. Certainly, the vast majority of believers in history agree with my view more than yours. God's desires and our desires are not the same. My advantage is that I can tell the...

    Justice Breyer announces retirement

    Decades ago, I was of the opinion that the President should get whomever he nominates, regardless of party or politics. Now, however, I prefer my side win by any legal means necessary. And I think the opposition won't limit themselves to merely legal means.

    Patriarchy is better than Feminism

    True. Yet it as true as your belief that Feminism will lead to a sustainable population growth rate. At least your view is the happier one.
