I was glad to see this pop up.
In my opinion, as a Christian, women and men aren't equal. Women have it much harder. It's because they're smarter than us. Intelligence is an exceptionaly dangerous thing. I even think that thinking is the cause of everyone's problems. It maybe even transcends into the physical world. In the sense that even physics is a part of thinking. I admit I had some trouble with women, but almost exclusively online. In the sense that they're querellous, always have to win an argument etc. And they always do, because they're smarter. I've given up the ghost a long time ago. I don't even remotely consider entering a fight with a woman. I know
a priori she's always right because she's intellectually superior.
I love women more than anything.

As a Christian I love God more than anything (or at least I try to pursue that ideal). It's sad if as a Christian you love women more than God. I do agree that women are generally smarter than men. There are a lot of men who make a strong case for the missing link. However... there does seem to be a lot more male intellectuals than women historically, but in modern Western society women are going to university and pursuing careers while men are sitting at home playing video games and smoking pot. But women also mature faster than men, and that does mean that a man can live in his parents basement until he's forty and then still go out and start a career and find a wife and have a family. Women can't really do that. They have a shorter shelf life in that regard so they have to get started earlier. Once a woman starts a family and has kids, being pregnant for 9 months and then having a strong emotional connection to the little life they just brought into the world makes it hard to pursue a career. Men aren't as attached to their children and instinctively tend to pursue careers as their primary focus in life instead of raising their children. That's why you see so many single mothers and the mother is almost always left with the child while the man just leaves. That's why I also think it's important to have heterosexual relationships. It's human instinct. The man works and the woman raises the children, and together they create a family. It's been the model for thousands of years, but now our society has turned upside down. Women are trying to be men, overthrow men, and force men into the female role. They are missing out on the most beautiful and unique thing about being a woman, and they are destroying their own civilization. Genesis 3:16 says:
To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your pain in childbirth,
In pain you will bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And he will rule over you.”
That was written before recorded history, that's how old it is. It's still relevant today, but people want to ignore it because they don't like the truth.
I don't like how so many people are quick to throw out traditions that have lasted thousands of years in favor of Marxist theories that have resulted in the deaths of 200 million people world-wide. If we as a society don't return to the Judeo-Christian values that have allowed our countries to become wealthy, prosperous, and free then we will destroy ourselves. The society that held Judeo-Christian values is the one that freed us from oppression when the murderous national socialism of the fascist Nazi's was trying to enact genocide on so many groups of people. We are adopting the same fascist attitude of cramming our oppinions down people's throats at gun point with hate speech law. We are continuing to move towards the very socialism that our grandfathers had to go to war against. We as a society will destroy ourselves and will be defenseless against our enemies who want to kill us. We are so busy watching TV and playing video games that we are totally unaware of the corruption in their governments and the activities of the evil forces that want us dead.
Subjectivity has lead many people to replace the word "think" with the word "feel." Post-Modernism has taken relativity too far and made many people believe that they can't know anything at all. The government has done such a lousy job with education that we have a whole generation of ignorant brain-washed naive children who aren't growing up, aren't taking responsibility, and expect a free handout in life. It's going to end in disaster if we don't return to truth and morality. I'm disgusted with the mass murder of infants by abortion, the rampant sexual perversion, and the giving up of freedom in our societies today. We destroy the careers of celebrities while mindlessly following everything they say and letting our young children wallow in ignorance in lousy schools and freely absorb the filth of pornography on the internet unmonitored by their parents. It's detestable to me. I try my hardest to be tolerant. I try to tolerate people who are intolerant of me. I try to tolerate people who support the death of freedom and democracy out of ignorance and naivety. I try to tolerate the people who support the destruction of the home and the family. I try to tolerate the people who absorb vast amounts of pornography while criticising celebrities for sexual harassment allegations. I try to tolerate the people who assassinate satire. I try to tolerate the people who project their own evil onto me. I try to tolerate the people who do not see any value in tradition and want to suddenly rapidly and drastically change countries into what has only produced hell holes of death and destruction. I feel sorry for them because they are headed towards horrible nightmares they can't even imagine, and they don't even lift a finger to look a little deeper into the dangers they're facing. I forgive them. I try to love them as much as I can. And I hope they'll come around. But I do not think of myself as a part of this world. I'm just passing through, and I'm shocked by what I see. I'm shocked by the ignorance and they hypocrisy. I'm shocked by the resentment for the rich masked as caring for the poor. People blame religion for corruption in the world, but can't see the corruption within their self and every single one of us. I'm often arrogant, but I take no pride in anything I've ever done in my life. I was born in sin, a wretched individual who lied, was selfish, was mean to others, and did all kinds of things that I regret. If there is any good in me now it is because God put it there, and the credit is his not mine. I'm sorry for all the times I've said hurtful things to others, but I'm going to try to be better. I'm going to try to be more obedient to God, and to be more loving to everyone around me. I'm not very good at it, but I'll try. And I'll try to make the world a better place. I'll try to stop my country from destroying itself. I'll try to help the poor and needy as much as I can. I will not accept the lies of people who smile and present themselves as good people and claim to be doing good while all the while steering our societies towards death and destruction.
Whenever I've even mentioned Judeo-Christian values I've experienced people responding harshly and aggressively with something about the Crusades and the Inquisition. Every human system is corrupt. In the Bible, in the letters from the Apostles to the first churches, they were battling with heresy and people infiltrating the church to corrupt it. The fact that there is corruption in the church doesn't mean the values are wrong. People are inherently corrupt and will corrupt anything they touch, but the Christian values fight against that and pursue love and peace. Pointing out corruption doesn't mean the ideals are corrupt, it just means people are corrupt. I wish people would stop trying to pursue utopia on Earth. It can't be obtained. People instinctively rebel against it and need a certain amount of chaos. People want to do drugs because they want to feel good and escape reality, and we hurt each other, and murder and rape are just the extremes of violence and lust that we all struggle with.
One of the most pathetic arguments I often hear is that it's okay because it's natural and animals do it. Animals cannibalise each other and rape each other. Just because something is natural doesn't make it good. Just because animals do it doesn't make it okay. The reason why this forum is a nice place to be is because there are rules and administrators that curb our tendencies that would otherwise turn every website into 4-Chan. 80% of crimes go unsolved and our jails are over populated with just the 20% that do get caught. Every human society has gone to war. Every human culture has problems with sexual assault/harassment, government corruption, and crime.
Some people say our society is more moral today because of equality, yet crime rates are higher than ever. And rather than focus on the 80% of rapes and murders that are going unsolved, we're adding to the plate of our law enforcement policing speech and hurt feelings. This world is insane.
I don't really feel a part of you. We Christians are sheep among wolves. I tried as hard as could to get along with Miss Vicky, for example. I pleaded with you for help, and what were your responses? Condemnation and a lack of empathy. Even though I have nothing but love for all of you, you hate me and my values because I speak truth and you hate truth. Not all of you, but most of you. I love you even if you're Marxists. I love you even if you're social justice warriors. I love you even if you're homosexuals. I love you even if you're bigots. I forgive all of you for every hurtful comment, for every lie, for every selfish attitude, for everything. I do not bear a grudge even against the people who've hurt me most. I don't blame them either. I've made an effort even to be friends with some people who projected their bigotry onto me, or their racism, or their sexism, or their hatred for my religion. I try to love Muslims and Communists, and everyone regardless. I try not to judge others, even though I've often criticised and insulted others too, I don't see that as good behavior in myself and want to change it. But it doesn't matter. I will be hated by many simply because I stand for something they hate: truth. Something they deny the very existence of in their desperate attempt to maintain their self-delusion. People even hate me for silly reasons like criticising Star Wars or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, or Hollywood Blockbusters, lol.
I say all of this because I have only one goal. If it's possible, maybe, hopefully, some of you, even if it's only one person, might come into the saving knowledge of truth about God that grants immortality and perfect peace and love. The human race is headed towards death and destruction. Salvation is out there. Even though people have no reason to ridicule Jesus Christ, his very name is used so casually by many as a curse. He is mocked and scorned and hated, and I'm one of his disciples so I will be hated by the world too. I accept that. I hope some of you will become a little more aware and open minded. I'm willing to talk to anyone who wants to. But I'm going to stay out of any debate that springs up as a response to this post. I won't turn this thread into a religious debate. I've said what I wanted to say, and I'm not here to argue or change anyone's mind. May God be glorified forever and ever.
