Women are the biggest antagonist in the Bible. Eve was the first.

Yep! This kind of philosophy in the Abrahamic faiths is why I think (please forgive me) women are retarded when it comes to religion. Why, without any proof of God being real, would anyone choose to believe in and worship a God that basically thinks you are shit.

Frankly I scratch my head that any woman would embrace this book. The same for gays and the same for blacks as both of those groups were also victimized by those waving it around as if it were the definitive law.

This quote make zero sense. It's just word salad.

How is that to be interpretted...in layman's terms?

Religion tends to be patriarchal and Judaic Christian religious beliefs are especially so. Wicca offers a more female orientation but also comes with a fair amount of crap attached. Stay independent, question authority and form your own beliefs based upon mutual respect, kindness first and tolerance of others. Put love before hate and help before harm. Leave the place better than when you found it.

Sounds hateful!

The Bible is filled with violence, rape, misogyny, etc. since it's copied from the Sumerian texts, written 2000 years before the Bible. The Hebrew god is modeled on "Anu," the bloodthirsty leader of the Sumerians, an alien race that told how they genetically engineered humans from mingling their DNA with human apes, to make workers for their gold mines.

The origins of human beings according to ancient Sumerian texts [ancient-origins.net]?

WTF??

They only follow the parts of the bible that they want to.

The King James version of the bible is notorious for it's misogyny.
Previous translations didn't have nearly the same level of hateful rhetoric toward women.
That's another thing about christianity that the "christians" don't know.
Every time the bible was translated from one language to another, every time there was
another rewrite, it was written to advance the agendas of whomever was doing the financing. They know so little of the history of their own religion and "holy" book, it's fucking pathetic.

probably the original text was kind of staid and boring so they had to juice it up a bit.

Photos or it didnt happen!

How one-sided that was.

I must admit that I am ignorant, as to what those Bible verses means? My interpretation seems to be...that proud women, will get put in their place! They are not approved of! This is precisely why I stopped reading the Bible...the same as I don't expose myself to porn and hate speech! All of it seems to come from a period of time, when certain people wallowed in a kind of insanity! I can't see usefulness toward my better nature, in any of that stuff!

The New Testament treats women as 2nd class citizens.

Ephesians 5:22-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

Romans 7:2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

1 Timothy 2:11-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

Titus 2:3-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

That is a disturbing passage, but not nearly so, in my opinion, as this one from Ezekiel:

"When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled."
Ezekiel 23:18-21 (NIV)

Wouldn't you just love to hear this read from the pulpit!

One of the many things I dislike about "sacred" books like the Bible. Looks OK on the surface, but the deeper you dig, the more horrendous bullshit you find. I actually got a Bible app to read just so I can see what I find. It seems that religious folks either don't know enough about their book to be familiar with horrific stuff like this, or worse, they just don't care.

Discover their secret parts? What a pervert.

The versions in the Jerusalem Bible are pretty similar.

I think some of the prophets had problems.

More misogyny and creepiness from the bible.

It’s a wonder why any woman would choose to enslave themselves.
