I don’t think Jesus needs religion. I tend to see it as a crutch; better for some to have it than not. And better for some to not, if they use it as a club. It depends on the religion, of course, but I don’t think God himself is that religious. He has no need for it. We do.

I’ve traveled and lived extensively in South America and Asia. It’s been my observation that women in both those places enjoy being women and don’t need to rewrite history to flatter themselves. They’re very happy for their men to flatter them and society is much happier than in the U.S.

I think your original question was why Christ was born a male.

A female couldn’t have done the work he had to do, in the time/space that he had to do it. (Though, according to the way God appears to have willed things, he couldn’t have come here without the help of a willing - receptive - female.)

He came here to do, to exert. Everything in material life boils down to positive and negative poles (or ‘receptive’, for those who don’t like ‘negative’ as a descriptor :-)

Yes I think that’s probably correct, and that men and women have different roles in society, both Biblically and culturally. Being a male seems more in line with Christ’s mission.

I haven’t experienced that among women quite honestly, but men do have higher rates of violence that maims and kills-it’s only that aspect that I was referring to.

Women generally do their violence surreptitiously. The negative results are often equivalent.

If they are left alone, women and men naturally take different roles - according to their natures.

‘Society’ is a different matter ;-)

Why do they claim that we need feminism if women have never been weak or subordinate to the men around them? Why do we need God’s word at all, if it can be rewritten to match fashionable social trends? These people are nuts - no surprise considering they are on the far left fringe.

Typos. That should have been: "He created us in Their Image and we have returned the favor."

Not exactly feminazi but they do misinterpret some verses.

I’m not familiar with this one but apparently it’s been around for years.

No, in the instance I was actually thinking of their tendencies toward jealousy, resentment, revenge, self-protection; and their abilities when it comes to guile. My point was that generally, when men are violent, they are more overtly so than women.

It’s a toss-up as to which is more destructive.

True enough-men are more overt in violence while women are slier.
