means they can work outside the home but it's ok if they don't make as much money and they still have to do all of the housework and childcare since they are the husbands helpmeet (whatever the hell that is).


BTW: From personal experience ans yes I left his ass.

And then it's translated as one who fights alongside you and protects you. Gives very different idea of role of women!!

Just another instance where translator bias distorted the text.

See Junia Project webpage for discussion of other biased translations. Project takes name from woman addressed in one of Paul's letters as 'Junia, an apostle of Jesus.' Since everyone KNOWS all the apostles were male, translators used a male form of the name which occurs no where else in the language (Greek).

I hate religion now. It sucked way about a decade of my life when I was vulnerable and frankly I was almost killed. Apparently helpmeet includes ass kicking too.

I'm really sorry you went thru that.

[The accurate translation is not being shared with the average person in the pew.

In the 80s, I read about this is in a book by a woman theologian. In the early 90s I had the chance to ask some women theologians about this.]

The accurate translation has now appeared in discussions on the internet. The internet has really started to destroy the power of church leaders. People are now able to check out things for themselves.

lying, Republican ass while under oath in front of Congress.

Fixed it!

Thanks. K&R

All cultures are guilty of this, to be sure - but Deep South conservatives take it to a whole 'nother level.

Protecting lives of children unless your mistress is carrying the unborn child. Then it is okay for you to encourage her to get rid of it.

Unless they are senior citizens, then cut their Social Security and Medicare.

The overwhelming degree of hypocrisy repeatedly demonstrated by these people of "GOD" is overwhelming me. It is only a matter of time before one of them makes another inane statement that is a direct contradiction of the teachings of Christ before I lose it.

The statement about abortion is spot on. Save the fetus, destroy the child.

Before a Republican says or does anything, they need to ask themselves one thing, would Abraham Lincoln approve?

They aren't mortal sins, like homosexuality, or being a democrat, so no big deal. Just confess to god and ask forgiveness.
