[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science I guess? I knew from a young age that I didn't believe the stories and found it as a way to control people, girls in particular. I'm atheist now. [/quote]

How funny. I have been an atheist my entire life and I view religions, particularly Christianity, primarily function as controlling men. [/quote]
Interesting! I find it much more restrictive for women, especially sh!t like the purity angle that's so tightly wound around girls. [/quote]

I don't see that in the New Testament. If anything, Christianity puts the onus on the man instead of requiring the woman to wear veils. NB: take the gouging out thing metaphorically.

Matthew 5:28-30
New International Version
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.[/quote]
