48. While I Don't Agree In Principle With Much Of What You Say
It would be hard for me to argue that men have done a good job of running things in a patriarchal society.

I say let's elect women, and let them run the world and maybe the world would end up a better place.

But I hope that my role is not just to become a sperm donor for a few minutes, because I find so much more in life that is important.

I agree that women are demeaned in many if not most churches in our country and the world.

I think it is interesting that the Greek word(I think Greek) for Wisdom is Sophia, and the book of Wisdom in the OT is the book of Sophia.

Some really interesting stuff has been written on Sophia wisdom and religions of the old and new testaments.

Equality is where I think the real aim should be, but that may involve giving women the reins for a while to balance all the b.s. that men have unleashed on this world.
