@Rastal@mastodon.social @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Men are insecure and need to control everything. Early Christianity and Buddhism also set women as equals. It just gets written out again and again. Also why the whole Jesus myth bugs me. Instead of knocking up a 12yr old so God could ageplay for a few years doesn't make me believe. If God had incarnated as a woman that men listened to, that might have convinced me, but instead he pandered to the patriarchy and does in every faith.

@obscurestar@mastodon.social @Rastal@mastodon.social @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Yeah right, like they were going to listen to a woman. First miracle and she gets stoned to death as a witch. A gay man was the best They could do under the circumcises...

@obscurestar@mastodon.social @Rastal@mastodon.social @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Historically, afaik, there was some actual preacher by the name of Jesus who got some modest amount of attention, was sentenced to death (like others in similar roles), and then became the symbol of a new political/religious movement, complete with miracles attributed to him and so forth At the time, I don't think a woman would have had much of a chance to take that role. Actually, some of the views attributed to him were radically "progressive", which I find really interesting because *somebody* must have brought them up at the time, and others must have liked them. Especially given what various Christian churches made of them later... Humans *shrug*
