In the bible Paul says that women should keep quite in churches, ect. And say that a woman has to have long hair to represent the man? Doesn't that automatically make the Bible a sexist book?
And there's even these things throughout the Bible that makes women more... ehh. like selling your daughter, wtf? And women can't get freedom in slavery when a man can be freed within some time?
Is there double meaning to this? I thought everything was equal. Does the women HAVE to have long hair? -_- and how bout guys? It's not a sin for a guy to have a long hair, right? right?
Really, a loving God MUST have reasons for these!

When Paul speaks about women covering their heads and keeping long hair it most be understood in the cultural context of the day. Basically Paul was telling Christian women to dress conservatively to not appear as though they have loose morals. It would be the equivalent of telling Christian women to day, to not wear clothing that was too revealing. In the same why Paul said women should be quite in church because they had essentially be complaining about their husbands in the Church's and disrupting the services. Paul goes on to say that if a wife has a problem with her husbands behavior she should rebuke him in private.
I do not know anything about the references you make about slavery do you have the verses of those.
