Why are women treated as inferiors in all religions (except for maybe Baha'is)? Why do women accept inferior treatment? Do women choose to become victims, If they choose to stay in a religion that specifically states they are inferior? Why try and change the religion instead of choosing one that treats you with respect and equality in heaven AND on earth?

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

Buddha encouraged people to not believe anything or anyone, but he offered a path he had experienced. He taught that you have to prove everything for yourself and meditation was the way that he found to look at himself and discover the truth about the world. The ultimate truth is that we are all interdependent with the world around us and thus, being good to every other living being is also being good to ourselves. To know this is only a step, to understand the implications is enlightenment. Deity-based religions focus on punishment, dogma, and a promise of another place with a 'god'. Why just believe when you can know?

The catholic church tells its people they are supposed to "live humbly", while the priests have maids to do all the "menial housework" for them, and the higher-ups have servants, chauffer-driven limos, fly 1st class, stay at 5-star hotels, etc, all at the expense of those gullible enough to keep donating their money to the "non-profit" organization with billions in assets. They also keep telling the people to give more money to charities, yet don't seem to want to dip into their own funds to do the same. They talk about honesty and no sex before marriage, yet cover it up when a priest molests a little boy.

So why don't they want to practice the things they preach?

I just posed a partially tounge in cheek question about God being boss of the universe or just earth. I was literally inundated with responses from people the majority of who answer as if I'm foolish for having any doubt at all about whatever faith they follow. Believe, fine but be open to other points of view. How can we ever hope to live together when people of all backgrounds are so utterly convinced by whichever text they follow - text written by very questionable sources, hundreds of years ago. If it wasn't so tragic it would actually be funny.

Can you make sure (not a clue answers) that there is true love between patents and children, husband and wife, lovers, society, same church, or inter church, nations etc,

I found there is some thing that seperates patents and children, husband and wife, lovers, society etc,

I say it is selfishness and lust on money and greed on possesions and people seeks their own comfort.

what would be your openion please give a frank and good answer.

do you thing as Jesus said, when He returns there will be lack in love...?

Does the present world's behaviour confirms the Bible prediction.....?

can you support it...?
