"I listen to feminists and all these radical gals -- most of them failures. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. They blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men -- that's their problem."
— Jerry Falwell
Well, I totally concur." –Pat Robertson to Jerry Falwell following the Sept. 11 attacks, after Falwell said, "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say: "You helped this happen."

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."

Um... Somehow, I just don't think that's the real attraction for the ladies. I'm more inclines to think it might have more to to do with bake sales and getting dressed up in a new hat. I mean, those are the only kind of reasons that'd make me wanna go to church...

I certainly hope not. I would hope that women would be emotionally and intellectually predisposed to being attracted to something they believe personally.
I know several feminists and they don't hate me at all.
Though I don't practice an alternative lifestyle I do have gay friends who tolerate me okay.
As for the attempts to secularize America -- I don't think it's totally possible.
Be all this as it may, we should give women more credit when it comes to selecting their personal attractions. All the woman I know who are attracted to religion do so because it is in tune with their beliefs.
The women I know who are not attracted to religion arent't because their beliefs are not congruent with it's tenets.

Good Grief! How bright you are to be able to quote what someone else says. How ignorant you are not to have a mind of your own and find out the truth instead of believing in borrowed knowledge! Yikes. This is exactly the ignorance that reigns and is passed on through hearsay. Get a life.

I don't think "religion" has anything to do with it.
First off, get over yourself. A woman doesn't "need" a man, especially not one like you.
All a woman needs is God. (He can do more than any man). Secondly, if a woman does get married, if she marries a godly man, then she won't have those problems, and neither will her husband.
A godly man knows this:
Eph. 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her."
You should try it. Stop worrying about God's role and women's role, and learn your own role buddy.

Women wanting to be treated equally? Is that what upset Gawd?
I should have known, shame on us women for not wanting to be under some self important guys boot heel.
(I hoped you picked up my sarcasm)
How about this, if you are going to have a 14th century mind set. At least use your own words, not cower behind the rehearsed written by proffesionals words of others.

I believe women are more intune to the voice of God. I dont really know why that is. I guess cuz, like those quotes are saying, men are not taking the lead and really going at it like women do. Men tend to have harder hearts towards God because they never get love from their own fathers and dont know how to accept the fathers love.

These are utterly ridiculous statements made by bigoted, ignorant men who enjoy nothing more than bilking people out of their hard earned money.
Remember while their are pointing the finger at everyone else they have three fingers pointing back at themselves.
I can only hope this is your attempt at sarcasm.

This just goes to show that even hate-filled lunatics can develop a following that gladly throws money at them.

that's exactly why women are attracted to religion,
what else is there
besides getting no respect from religious men
I'm not sure why women don't have their own religion?
or do this:
Have UnConditional Love and Peace by accomplishing this:
Create Your Relationship with Our Creator.
remember Ladies:
Universal Truth is the only source...
UnConditional Love and Peace is the only answer.
