I want to say that I’ve always believed that most of those who believe that men are to be the spiritual leaders and also teachers of other men based on their perspective of Adam and Eve and Paul’s writings aren’t deceived in their beliefs. If one wants to believe something and does so long enough then eventualy, yeah they become deceived, but I’ve always understood that most supremeists at least initialy have known better. I have believed this because I cannot see how anyone can call themselves a christian, have a relationship with God and at the same time be openly prejudiced towards 1/2 the body, which is an enormous amount. It doesn’t make sense to me how someone with a heart for God can believe superiority/inferiority checks and balances for men and women based on the flesh, sex organs of all things and not the spiritual! To me, someone who says they are a christian and have prejudice against women is like saying that a bird is actualy a fish. It makes no sense to me. ‘I love God but I am prejudice against women’. (Male supremeists claim it’s not a matter of being prejudice) It doesn’t make sense and I still very much try to this day to make it make sense. I try and I try.

Someone may say, ‘Well the’ve been taught that way in church’ and I would respond, ‘Are people really that gullible having minds that are easily deceived over and against a spiritual heart for God?’ The thoughts and belief system within prejudicial thinking has not an ounce of any of the fruits, out workings of the Spirit. It doesn’t look like that of the Spirit in anyway. Yet I hear those who I hold in high regard say that they think the best of people first rather than the worst even though humankind is born in sin so that it makes more sense to think the worst rather than the best, and combine that with the fact that humankind is born into a fallen world caged in sin all around.

Perhaps I’m too simple of a person to understand it any other way. I don’t know. It seems that I cannot be convinced any other way after all these years, though I’d like to be if my view is incorrect. I would like to believe that most of those who look down on women are deceived and were so from the beginning of their prejudice view. In fact it would make me feel much better and it would be easier when on the topic. It would be easier for me to believe that most people (especialy religious ones) are generaly good and not bad in their hearts. But I just don’t think that such is the case or reality, but it would be great if it were true! To think that MOST of those who believe men are placed above women spiritualy in role are deceived like Eve rather than treacherous in heart like Adam IMO is fantasy thinking.

Now can someone here please convince me otherwise, ;P cause it would make it alot easier for me when I’m on such topics of men and women in the church because I then wouldn’t have a reason to feel disgust for the kinds that put down others below themselves while claiming to love God rather than loving others as themselves. It would be much easier and pleasent to look at people in general who are prejudice as just deceived rather than having bad hearts. How nice that would be.
