@refractorhead Only 'weaker vessels'? It's a good thing that you are selective. 0
 
You might want to start actually reading the Bible, look at the nice blaming after the Original Sin part. Also, women are always considered to have really poor judgement, are reffered to in a rather condescending way, and are just some 'companions' that are only good for house labour and producing children/being a vessel. You will see no woman is referred to as being 'wise', unless she follows some orders or is submissive.
 
As for islamism, I'd rather not go there. Fanatics aside, they are a Tad more strict on what you should do if you don't want to go to hell. If it hadn't been for christianity (and some good armies in the past) we might have all been muslims by now.

I didn't get the impression that I was being Aggressive just from using the term 'horseshit', but I guess it kinda irks me that people assume the bible is a loving great thing with no Corruption at all without having read it.
Also, abou the Quran, I found that passage you referred to:
-A woman is worth one-half a man. 2:282 ; and males are to inherit twice that of females. 4:11
Okay, sounded a little suspect, so I researched further:
-You can't have Sex with married women, unless they are slaves obtained in war (with whom you may rape or do whatever you like). 4:24
-Don't pray if you are drunk, dirty, or have touched a woman lately. 4:43
-A husband can accuse his wife of Adultery with only one witness. 24:6
-The wives of Mohammad are not like other women. They must not leave their houses. 33:32-33
-Men are in charge of women, because Allah made men to be better than women. Refuse to have Sex with women from whom you fear Rebellion, and scourge them. 4:34
 
And here's a direct quote:
"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given The One more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)."
Okay, remember men: you can beat women, just make sure you do it lightly. 0
 
So yeah, the Quran is no better than the bible.

Great... a religious debate...

*Grabs popcorn*

Merc, I don't think anyone is debating here. I'm just telling Panzerjager that most religious texts have a lot of ugly stuff in 'em, even though they claim to be above that type of thing.
Unless I'm mistaken, we're both atheists, so...
your popcorn is best off serving you as you watch a good movie. 0

Infinity, dunno what i said but I think you're addressing to the wrong person. I just posted on here: Buddhist aren't misogynics. This was meant as a sarcasm.

Wait, what?
I wasn't referring to that comment at all.
Was talking about my response to you saying the bible doesn't Degrade women, 'cause I thought that's what merc was referring to.
