Many evangelicals unwittingly live as feminists, Moore says

“Evangelicals maintain headship in the sphere of ideas, but practical decisions are made in most evangelical homes through a process of negotiation, mutual submission, and consensus,” Moore said.

He says this like it's a bad thing...?


Y'all have fun.

Only in the New Testament, moron. The God of the Old Testament was an asshole.

> “Evangelicals maintain headship in the sphere of ideas, but practical decisions are made in most evangelical homes through a process of negotiation, mutual submission, and consensus,” Moore said. “That’s what our forefathers would have called feminism -- and our foremothers, too.”

Funny, they probably would have said the same thing about:
* women voting
* women working
* women in the military
* women driving cars (if there had been cars in the nebulous time of "our fore[parents]")

Truly, the cause of the downfall of modern society...

Here's my favorite, though:
> This therapeutic and consumerist atmosphere has led evangelicals away from a view that sees Scripture as the external, objective standard of truth and has pushed them to look inside themselves to find ultimate truth, Moore said. Because self and not Scripture is the final authority, evangelical homes and churches hold complementarian views but practice egalitarianism, he said.

"Opiate of the masses," fu©ker. Read your history books. Any religion that preaches that people shouldn't think for themselves isn't interested in faith or engendering spiritual growth, it's about creating sheep.

I honestly don't know which is worse: this this walking brain hemhorrage actually believes the sh!t he's spouting, or that other people do.

That last sentence, of course, should have been "that this walking brain hemhorrage..." Looks like you're not the only one a little riled up.
