the wolf's skull: Tertullian is not a Saint and perhaps because his writings. As for Luther he's hardly a Catholic.

The problem is, that all of the rest of the women get blamed for everything bad in the world, can't hold positions of responsibility in most christain churches, and generally are treated like dirt.

"Do you not know that you are each an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the Devil's gateway: You are the unsealer of the forbidden tree: You are the first deserter of the divine law: You are she who persuaded him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God's image, man. On account of your desert even the Son of God had to die."
-Saint Tertullian
"If they [women] become tired or even die, that does not matter. Let them die in childbirth, that's why they are there."
-Martain Luther
"...God, by creating Adam first (Gen. 2:18; 1 Cor. 11:8) and also by creating woman for man (Gen. 2:18,20,22; 1 Cor. 11:9), has set the gender-based role and responsibility of males in the most basic unit of society (the family) to be that of leader, provider and self-sacrificial protector (also cf. Eph. 5:25; 1 Peter 3:7), and likewise has set the gender-based role and responsibility of females to be that of help and nurture (Gen. 2:18) and life-giving (Gen. 3:20) under male leadership and protection (cf. 1 Peter 3:7)..."
-The Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood

"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16)
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (Tim. 2:11-14)
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" (Exodus 22:18)
"If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do." (Exodus 21:7)
"women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says." (1 Corinthians, 14:34)

Where did you see this? Because I was brought up in the Christian church & the entire part of the Bible said that women were evil. Let me know, Please?
