Prosperity,
you are simply mistaken. Indeed there many variations on practice of Islam or Christianity (two religions I am most familiar with), while there also exist many variations on national socialism and communism (or rather international socialism), aswell as liberal democracy. All of those systems have rather strict hierarchies and binding taboos, vices and virtues.
Interracial sex is taboo in NS, seen indefferently in communism or Islam (aslong as the pair is married), while it is virtue in libdem.
Arming yourself and fighting in defense of faith or family is considered virtue in NS, communism or Islam, but is seen as taboo in christianity and libdem.
Premarital sex is seen indifferently in atheist systems, while religious ones frown upon it.
Similar differences exist in views on antisemitism, drug use, eugenics, social state, technology and role of a family.
Etc. Etc.
What does that have to do with anything I've said? I said that a theists views are largely dictated by what's said in their holy books, at least when concerning the three abrahamic religions, while an atheists views are not restricted by such a medium. Someone who self identifies as "Catholic" for example, cannot be against treating women as being less than men, because of things like this:
"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)Yet, we see Catholics all the time treating women as equals, but why? According to the bible women are less than men and should be treated as such.
This just goes to show how clueless Theists are about their own faiths. #dumbpeople
Not clueless. Not at all. Christians just ignore Bible shit that makes no sense in the world they live in.
But this measure of merit, it would be Muslims who were clueless, thinking they must obey every word.
LOL....
that's the thing with the bible, they preach what's good and ignore and deny what's bad, so it's selective much like evolution that they mostly deny, hm?
That's just your understanding^^^.
Wake up and see that most men are physically stronger than women, and that women are to be protected because they are less than men in this way. A woman protected by her husband will turn out being a great benefit for him.
This is what the Bible is talking about. You should really read and understand it, and realize that it is offering you the way to eternal life through Jesus salvation.
I did and understood it completely but from talking to my extremely religious friend, he said something that I've said in the comment before, "everyone is understanding bible in it's own way" is what he said, and he was right, I've understood it as a product of delusional persons that condradict each other in every book.
Everybody is different. Because of this, everyone will understand the application of the Bible, as it applies to himself, in a different way. But, because people read the same words in the Bible, and these words have dictionary meanings, and people use the words in their lives, the Bible interpretations will be interpreted similarly in their lives.
If a person doesn't know the meaning of a word found in the Bible, look it up in the dictionary so that he can get a clear picture of what the Bible is saying.
Further, the thing that is important is NOT the person's interpretation. The thing that is important is the interpretation that the Holy Spirit places in the person's heart and mind. This interpretation is always one to strengthen faith in Jesus salvation in the person, and help him to spread salvation to those around him.
