So I was in my Study of Religion class on Thursday and we started a new unit right…no harm done. Yeah not yet maybe but this topic makes me feel unloved as a gender. I mean who knew that religious men hated women so much. I didn’t.
Our new topic is Religious Texts form a women perspective and that is simple enough, but the difficult thing is trying to understand how they can possibly blame everything on one incident that wasn’t even a women’s fault.
We did this activity right, and we had to choose a quote from a religious man from a certain era and write down what it is saying about women in sacred texts. My favorite quote of the day was “Women should be covered in shame at the thought of being a woman” I mean what does that even mean?
Another one said that women were the gateway to hell, and I remember thinking yeah just forget everything women do for you I mean we don’t bear you children or run your houses, sometimes I just don’t understand how people believe in some things.
But I did think that it was nice one quote implied we were royalty I mean he said we were the queens of the sparkling floors. Wait, that isn’t a good thing. Now they’re saying all were good for is cleaning. Just keep questioning it.
I mean just thinking about this gives me the creeping willies as some would say. I mean just blame women for everything, like it is a well believed thought of religious men that women are the cause of sin, just because we supposedly we ate some important piece of fruit (I don’t understand either I mean why make an important fruit, why not something cool like an iPhone or a Care Bear.)That a stupid snake tricked us into eating (not that I dislike normal self respecting snakes that don’t go and trick people into eating things they aren’t meant to eat) and then gave some to ‘Adam’ or man. Adam didn’t need to eat any of this fruit but he did and then we get blamed it wasn’t our fault can God not see that.
And do you know what God’s punishment for us was, that giving birth would be painful and that our ‘husbands’ would rule over us. That was going to happen anyway, just think it through.
I don’t really think he thought this punishment through. I mean all Adam got was “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food”. I think he would have eaten before this. I mean really God favoritism much.
But I will have to admit I really like this quote from Genesis 3, it is just so Awesome I think is the only way I could describe it. “Until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." I mean how awesome is that quote? I know you all agree.
But I think you all have to remember to take this one fact from this blog, Women are the gateway to hell, no not really take what you want believe what you want and I will talk to you again.
