So does the bible!
Matthew 5:32 and 19:19 contain permission for men to divorce their wives if they're unfaithful, but contain no instruction allowing women to divorce their husbands.
Mark 10:29-30 contains prophesy that God will reward men who desert their wives and children for "God's cause".
Luke 2:22 tells us that even Mary was "unclean" after giving birth to Jesus.
1 Corinthians 11:3 tells us that men are the head of women.
11:5 - 7 tell us that women have to cover their heads or have their hair shaved off as penalty for not covering their heads, and that while man is the image and glory of God, women are the glory of men.
11:8 tells us that men aren't of the women, but that women are of the men.
11:9 tells us that men weren't created for women, but the other way around.
14:34-35 tells us women must be silent in church and must take orders from men.
Ephesians 5:22-24 tells us that women must submit to their husbands in everything. Collosians 3:18 and 1 Thessalonians 4:4 contain similar instructions.
1 Timothy 2:9 tells us women are to dress modestly, "shamefaced", and without braided hear or jewellery.
1 Timothy 2:11-12 tells us that women must "learn in silence with all submissiveness" for "I suffer a woman not to teach, nor to usurp any authority over man".
1 Timothy 2:14-15 essentially describes male superiority: men came first and sinned second. But women, thankfully, will be justified by going through painful labour.
1 Timothy 5:3-9 tell us that widows must only be helped if they have no nephews, that if any are under the age of 60 they must not help a widow or be helped as a widow, and that young widows should remarry and have children, but are to be shamed for life because they "cast off their first love". But this is apparently better than the alternative, which is "idle, single" women turning into "busybodies and gossipers".
1 Peter 3:1 tells us wives should be in subjection to their husbands, and 3:7 tells us that women are "weaker vessels" in relation to their husbands.
That's just the New Testament. The old Testament condones the rape of slaves, the rape of women who are conquered, it instructs a rapist to marry his victim because she's "defiled", which means she's no use to any righteous man. It condones slaughtering women and children (even pregnant ones at times) and capturing prepubescent girls to become slaves, concubines or both.
It certainly seems to me like the bible puts men as better, more powerful, more authoritative, less sinful, more important and much stronger and useful than women. Frankly, I don't think it's any different than Islam in that respect, except that most Western Christian men don't actually follow these instructions practically, in their everyday lives. And look, I'll tell you the truth, neither do many Western Muslims. Most Muslim women in the West cover their heads, but as for the rest -- the total submission to your husband, having no say in anything, having no authority, no place -- I know plenty of Muslim couples who don't do things that way.
I don't know how many times I have to make the point, but I'll make it again. Both the Bible and Quran teach the inferiority of women to men. Both the bible and Quran teach women to dress modestly, cover their heads, and submit to males. But not every Muslim and Christian (particularly in the West) follow those instructions. Why? Because secular laws don't allow for it.
Matthew 5:32 is Christ telling His followers that any man who leaves His wife for anything besides sexual immorality is guilty of making her a victim of adultery, so nope.
Matthew 19:19 is honor thy father and thy mother, that doesnt fit anything you stated, so nope.
Mark 10:29 seems to be about those who go off to spread the Gospel, and in no way reflects injustice of women at all, and really is just mentioning leaving home, parents siblings and family. So nope.
Luke 2:22, I really cant see your point, how does this show injustice for women?
1 cor 11:3- Haha, the people of CC talk about this alot, yeah God put men to be in charge of the family and lead, and commanded that women let them lead. Did you know that God also commanded that men love their wives like Christ did, to the point of giving their life for them? There is no word on "well, men! Youre wives are all yours, do whatever you want!"
But of course the athiest will leave that part out in order to make it look monsterous, yeah
1 cor 11:5 I do not see dressing modestly as injustice at all. Yeah, no one does this, men or woman, but that doesnt make it an "evil" law, and I kinda wish the world followed this one more.
11:8 Eve was made off a part of Adams body, yeah. And both Adam and Eve are made from the breath of God.
11:9 Yes, Eve was made as a companion for Adam. God said it is not good for man to be alone, so He created women to be the companion of men, and gave us the ability to have children together, therefore ensuring we would not be alone.
14:34-35 I already brought that one up, I do not believe that being silent at church hurts anyone, most of the people when at a sermon sit and listen. Its part of the learning experience. And yeah, women should totally talk to their husbands about the word of God, I want a wife who will talk with me about it often
I dont see how this hurts anyone.
Eph 5:22-24 Yes, again God has made the man the head of the family. And just as women should obey their husband, men are to obey the commandments of God, I already shared with you what His commandments were for men
If a man breaks His commandments and uses his place for evil, dont you believe that God will hold Him accountable? But if a woman suffers at the hand of an evil man for the sake of obeying God, dont you believe that she will be blessed by Him?
1 Tim 2:9 God hates vanity and materialism, yeah. He also gives commandments on men how to look and dress, there is no allowing men to do these things while not letting women do these things. This is not injustice
1 Tim 2:11 Already covered that one
1 Tim 2:14 Yeah, Eve ate the fruit first, and through that child bearing now causes pain. But even with the pain, Im sure most Christian women would tell you they are honored to give birth to a child for God, it is totally a gift. And keep in mind, the bible tells ALL of us that we are fallen, sinful and wicked and are only saved because it is more pleasing to God to do so rather than destroy us, and Adam is guilty of eating from the fruit to, as they were both cast out of the garden. No where does the bible say women are wicked, and men are righteous. Not one of us is righteous, no not one.
1 Tim 5:3-9 Wow this one is all over the place. So letting family take care of family first is a bad thing? Wow. I did not know this, I better avoid helping my mom from now on. These verses here seem to be about how to take care of a widow, that this should be for an older woman who was faithful to her husband, which makes absolute sense cuz like really, how many 60 year old women are going to want to go back out and get married again after losing their husband? This seems like a wonderful thing to me, commanding that we take care of any older women in our family who have lost their husband. Does this not take care of the woman entirely?
And the last one again covers men being put in charge of the family, just like when a man goes to work he is commanded to obey his employer, that we are to obey authorities, and that we all must obey God first. It seems the secular world considers having people be in charge of anything is an extreme evil.
And I didnt really read all of what you posted after this, but the women being more evil and all that, where do you get that? Everyone of us has been condemned, not a single one of us are righteous. So the fact that we are told women are unrighteous as well as men is an injustice to women to you? Okay then.
As for the quran though, it actually DOES preach that women are more sinful then men, in fact muhammad himself said that the majority of hell was made up of women. He also preached that women had half the standing of men, that when a woman had to explain something, she had to have another women to correct her for getting her words wrong, because women are not very intelligent, and needed someone to keep her testimony in check, and that a womans word is one half of a mans. The quran also does teach for men to beat their wives when they dont obey, find that in the bible for me.
