"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." - Maya Angelou
A lot of women love this quote and I feel that I am being unfairly criticized for speaking against it in another thread.
I would like to make clear the two facts about it that I do not like. NOTE: I try to ALWAYS base my opinion on facts.
FACT #1: Its not biblical.
There is absolutely nothing in the bible that supports it, so it is misleading all the women who believe it.
FACT #2: It excludes men.
It empowers women and demoralizes men instead of being gender-neutral (a concept that ALL authors understand). For example it could have read, "A person's heart should be so...that their future mate has to..."
Now, it is certainly not a sin to believe or like this quote, but doing so shows a lack of biblical understanding.
Now, where did I put that stinking light sabre???!!!
