God created men and women to be equals but with different roles at home and in church.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Well. I say equality for all.

I believe in equality for all.

Buddhism (what I practice) states all are equal.
I have always believe this to be true.

My own personal philosophy might be considered sexists by some. But nature made men and women different for a reason. Women were built to bear children, and men are more muscularly built. Woman and men can both be very hard workers, but Nature made men stronger so they could do more physical labor.
Not to say that I disapprove of woman and men being totally equal. Because they should be. But they were meant to do different things.

@”What does your religion/philosophy say about sexual equality?”
Every man should have a woman.
Every woman should have a man.
For this is ”right” in God”s sight.
Notice that I didn”t say: girl or boy, teen boy or teen girl.
Full-grown adults.

Throughout TaNaKh and the NT, there is no mention of any inequality between the sexes.
Outside influences and human doctrine, which were sort of ”incorporated” into nominal (but are in no wise an actual part of) Christianity, tend to portray women as being lesser than men.
Everyone has a place in this world, and that place is not necessarily defined by sex.
I am disheartened, however, by those who try to assume the mantle of the other sex – if women demand to be able to do everything that a man does, why do men not bear children? And if women claim that men cannot handle that particular ordeal, then such talk amongst “women”s rights” groups is a bit hypocritical, don”t you think?
None is greater or lesser – we just serve slightly different purposes is all.

Judaism holds that women have greater “binah” than men; “binah” is a sort of spirituality, or sense of what is spiritual or right – it doesn”t translate very well. It doesn”t set up men as head of a household; it holds that men and women are partners, and that in a relationship, each has responsibilities to the other.
Orthodox Judaism says that only men can be rabbis; other branches of Judaism accept female rabbis, and many congregational presidents are women as well.
Orthodox Judaism keeps a barrier called a mechitzah between men and women during worship; the party line says that this is to prevent the men from becoming distracted (which I personally say is a cop-out; it”s definitely a remnant of second-class citizenship in my view). Other branches of Judaism don”t observe this restriction, as well as many others that once existed, such as laying of tefillin, wearing of a kippa or prayer shawl, or being given an aliyah during the Torah reading.
My personal view is that men are not women, and women are not men. Certainly I believe that a woman can do anything that a man can do, intellectually speaking. I do believe that there are differences that should be acknowleged and honored; not every difference is a negative sort of thing, in my opinion (I”d certainly never want to be a man, after all!) I definitely believe that studies, both religious and secular, should be available to both genders.

I think that we are equal. While my husband may be stronger than me, especially when we spar, I can take out a 6”2 200 some odd lb man with a round kick. He can do some things better than I can (cleaning, working on the computer….) I can do some things better than him (knowing what my son needs, driving(lol)) We are different and we compliment each other, but we are equal in all things that concerns who works and the like. He is an Atheist, so he thinks that I can work and that I am capable of taking care of myself. I am a Wiccan and believe that we each hold a place that is made for us, but it balances out beautifully.
February 4th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Well, we”re equal but not the same.
There is no way to explain that with out people jumping to conclusions so I”ll leave it at that.
February 4th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
As a Wiccan, I”ve got to go with equal but not the same, too.
And I agree with Princess..that”s a phrase people are going to make conclusions about!

My religion does demand sexual equality.
Gender roles are cultural/tribal, not divinely dictated.
Consider that the management of the household”s assets, in Germanic tribal times, was the woman”s right only (the sign of status of the wife were the keys to the family”s lockers, which only she held). However, the man was the leader of the clan. It”s only fair.
Compare that with Abrahmic religions.
Exceptionally, there were also women that fought in raids (see shieldmaiden).
So I”d say Heathenry is a relatively gender-egalitarian religion. Reconstructed Heathenry (as Asatru) more so than its Middle Ages counterpart, but yup.
However, men are not women and women are not men, they are different, although they do have equal rights, they might have somewhat different roles.

Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your blog? My blog is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would certainly benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Thank you!

Hey, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you”re working with? I”m looking to start my own blog soon but I”m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I”m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I”m using the same blog platform as yours and I”m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I”m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I”m thinking about creating my own but I”m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Many thanks!

Does your site have a contact page? I”m having a tough time locating it but, I”d like to send you an e-mail. I”ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I”ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Amazing blog!

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he”s tryiong none the less. I”ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
