About God and misogyny?

Question

There's one thing I don't get. As we all know, the Bible is full of misogyny.

Some people say that the reason for women being discriminated in religion and in today's life is the fact that they were the ones who started the sin so they were basically the origin of the sin. But if God decided to punish women for Eva's actions only after Eva sinned, then why does God (who existed before Eva and Adam even came into the picture) has always been called a He? My point is that the fact that God fulfills the role of a male entity (even if He only does it with His name) goes to show that this discrimination against women has always existed and has no reason. If God would have given equal rights to both sexes and would have been truly fair as the Bible says, then He wouldn't have been called a He, He would have been a combination of both sexes. The appellative leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

Now if this gender title would have been applied to God only AFTER Eva had sinned, I would have understood it, but this gender title has ALWAYS been applied to God so that tells me the discrimination against women in the Bible has always existed. And from this point of view, I see no reason for it. If it would have happened after Eva's sin, there would have been a reason, but there are no reasons. And if there are no reasons, then God isn't fair.

Answer 1

Actually you have no idea what God was called before Adam and Eve since everything you know is what was written down long after their creation, and written by men. Of course, Lillith, Adam's first wife was created from the same dust as Adam and was therefore equal to him, or so it says in the Bible. Apparently Eve was created from Adam's rib because Lillith would not be subservient. If you look at most Religions, "God" perse does not have any gender but appears in the most propituous form.

Answer 2

The Christian God is referred to as "our father" thus a male. Women are discriminated against because they are the ones that create the problems with the carnivores each month and are virtually incapacitated by pregnancy. They are what ties a man down to one place or forces him to move to a milder clime. They lack the the body mass and physical strength for strenuous living. In the their favor they have more stamina and manual dexterity as well as a nurturing nature. The latter is what endears them to us. So we do what they require and gripe the entire time.

Answer 3

So you're telling me that you believe the Bible to have been written before the whole Garden of Eden thing happened?

Answer 4

Muslims have one god, Hindus have 300 million gods. Both live like crap, Pakistan and India.

(physical reality) - (empirical reality) = faith

An intelligent human does not choose among poisoned chalices. An intelligent human chooses not to drink of any of them.
