God said: “Before your eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbor and he will rape them in broad daylight. You sinned in secret, but I will do this in the presence of all with the sun looking down.”
(2 Samuel 12:11)

“If a priest’s daughter defiles herself with a man, she disgraces her father; she must be burned alive with fire.” (Leviticus 21:9)

Curse for a wife accused of unfaithfulness
"If feelings of jealousy come over a husband and he suspects his wife of impurity, then he is to take his wife to the priest. The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. He shall take holy water in a clay jar and in it put dirt from the floor. Then the priest shall loosen her hair while he holds the bitter water that brings a curse.
"If you have gone astray, may the Lord curse your people and cause your thighs to waste away. May this curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells and your thighs waste away."
Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."
The priest is to write these curses on a scoll and then wash them off with the cursed water. He shall have her drink the water that brings a curse, and this water will enter her and cause bitter suffering.
If the woman is not guilty she will be able to have children." (Numbers 5:11-31)

Christian women should be required to wear burqas “If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. A man ought not to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason, and because of the angles, she should have a sign of authority on her head.” “Long hair is given to her as a covering.”
(I Corinthians 11:6-10, 15) Christian women are still required to cover their heads at Catholic points of interest, such as when touring St. Peter’s bacilica in Rome.

Don't weep because your father promised God that he'd kill you; weep because you'll never pleasure a man

"And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: 'If you give (my enemies) into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph will be the Lord's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.' The Lord gave them into his hands.

"When Jephthah returned in victory, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of tambourines. Execpt for her he had neither son nor daughter. When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, "Oh! My daughter! You have made me miserable because I have made a vow to the Lord that I cannot break."

"My father," she replied, "you have given your word to the Lord. Do to me as you promised, since the Lord has avenged you of your enemies. But grant me this one request," she said. "Give me two months to weep with my friends because I will never marry.

"You may go," he replied. She and the girls went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. After the two months, she returned to her father and he killed her, as he had promised the Lord. And she was a virgin." (Judges 11:30-39)

What a good Christian girl. Not only did God not step in to stop the murder (a promise is a promise), he set up a holiday for women to commemorate this girl who the bible's writers never bothered to give a name to. Keep in mind that this is a loving god to whom you should dedicate your children.

Christian women are the property of men  “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his slaves, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to him.” 
(Exodus 20:17)

Women do not go to heaven "No one could learn the song except the 144,000 men who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure." (Revelation 14:1-4) By focusing their efforts on raping little boys instead of girls, the 4392 rapist priests in the United States still qualify for admission to heaven. (John Jay Report - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

Christian women shall not speak in church nor publicly about church matters
"Let your women keep silent in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
but they are commanded to be under obedience.
"And if they want to inquire on any thing, let them ask their husbands at home:
for it is disgraceful for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)

Pregnancy is punishment for being a Christian woman "Unto the woman he said, ‘I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing and conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children. You shall desire your husband, and he shall rule over you.’" (Genesis 3:16)

There are currently four states with Christian movements to ban pain medication for mothers - GA, KA, AL, and MS. These groups maintain that since it was their god’s intent for women to suffer during childbirth as testimony of his disdain for women; women should not be denied his pain.

"The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve." - Mark Twain

“Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before theirs eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives raped. Their bows will strike down the young men; he will have no mercy on infants nor will he look with compassion on children.”
(Isaiah 13:16)

Christian women came from a rib bone*
Christian women were created to be servants for males “The Lord said, ‘It is not good for the man be alone. I will make a suitable helper for him.” (Genesis 2:18) “But no suitable helper was found so the Lord caused the man to sleep and while he slept, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh; she shall be called "woman" for she was taken out of man.'” (Genesis 2:21)
*This is one of the two facets of the proposed Christian "intelligent design" curriculum

It is important to note that there are two contradicting creation stories in Genesis. In the first, Jehova is speaking with someone and concocts females and males at the same time. (Genesis 1:26 "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over [all living things]. So God created man in his own image, male and female he created them.)
In the second version, (Genesis 2:20-25) he created a female helper for the male.

Christian Rape Races
“How can we provide wives for our men, since we have taken an oath by the Lord not to give them any of our daughters?” So they sent 12,000 men, saying, “This is what you are to do. Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin.” They found among the people left living 400 young women who had never slept with a man, and they took them to the camp. And the eldermen said, “With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left?” “But look there is an annual festival of the Lord in Shiloh. Go and hide in the vineyards and watch. When the girls of Shiloh come out to join the dancing, then rush from the vineyards and each of you seize a wife from the girls of Shiloh.”

“So that is what the men of the Lord did. While the girls were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off and raped her as his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them.” (Judges 21:1-23)

"I remember speaking with a retired Catholic hospital chaplain who recalled
his anguish at having to allow women to die from ectopic pregnancies."

Punishment for women after childbirth
"The Lord said to Moses, 'Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, "A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of isolation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. She must not touch anything sacred. But if she gives birth to a daughter, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her isolation, and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding. When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring the priest a year-old lamb and a young pigeon for a sin offering. In this way the priest shall forgive her and she will be clean.’”
(Leviticus 12:2-8)

Married rape victims to receive death penalty
“You shall take both of them to the gate of the town and stone them to death - the girl because she was in a town and did not scream, the man because he now knows a man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:23)

A bride who is not a virgin shall receive death penalty
“If no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found (no cloth with vaginal blood provided by her father)
she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, the men of her town shall stone her to death.
You must purge the evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:13-21)

There are no ceremonies assigning authority of a sons' sexual "purity" to his mother.
The value of a male does not diminish with sexual activity,
and control of a son's body is given to him; not his parents or wife.

Rape victim must marry the rapist
“If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her, he shall pay the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl for he has violated her. They may never divorce.” (Deuteronomy 22:28)

“If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.” (Exodus 22:16)

Gang Rape

"’Behold, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine; I will them bring out now.
Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you: but to this man do not do so vile a thing.’
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took her and brought her to them;
and they raped her, and abused her all the night until the morning;
and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
“There she lay in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
He said to her “Get up; Let us go.” But there was no answer.
Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
When he reached home he took a knife and cut her limb by limb.” (Judges 19:23-29)

"Now to the unmarried and the widows I (Paul) say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion."
(1 Corinthians 7:8-9)

Menstruation
“If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the Source of her flow, and she alsohas uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.” (Leviticus 20:18)

"When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthy bleeding will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
"Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean.
"Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

2 Chronicles 36:23 mentions the Second Temple which was constructed after some Jews
returned from exile in Babylon. It was rebuilt by Herod late in the 1st century BCE.
One of its features was a women's court, considered the least sacred area.
Next was the court of the Israelites (reserved for males), then the court of the
priests, and finally the Temple itself. The courts were laid out in this order to
separate the women as far as possible from the Temple.

During the Second Temple period, women were not allowed to testify in court trials.
They could not go out in public, or talk to strangers.
When outside of their homes, they were to be doubly veiled.
"They had become second-class Jews, excluded from the worship and teaching of God,
with status scarcely above that of slaves."

“So Sarai (later, Sarah) said to Abram (Abraham the Circumcisor), ‘The Lord has kept me from having children. Go and rape my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.’ Abram agreed.” (Genesis 16:2)

“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." (Ezekiel 23:20)

Christian family values “King Xerxes summoned his wife, Queen Vashti, to display her beauty to the people but Queen Vashti refused. The king became furious and burned with anger. King Xerxes asked his court experts, ‘According to the law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?’ ‘The queen’s conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will displease their husbands. The women who have heard of the queen’s misconduct will respond in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect. So that the women will respect their husbands, let the king give her position to another.’ Thus it was proclaimed in each people’s tongue that every man should be ruler over his own household.

“‘Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. Bring these beautiful girls to the king.’ Esther, one of many virgins brought to the king, was lovely in feature. She was to complete twelve months of beauty treatment prescribed for the virgins. She would not be returned to the king unless he was pleased with her. He was pleased by her and so King Xerxes set a royal crown on Esther’s head instead of his former wife, Queen Vashti. He proclaimed a holiday throughout the provinces.” (Esther 1,2)

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.” (1 Timothy 2:11-15)

“Therefore, woman, this is what the Sovereign Lord says, ‘I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side. They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment, and they will punish you according to their desire. I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. Those you love who are left will die by the sword...” (Ezekiel 23:22)

“But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31)

But it wasn’t his fault - his daughters seduced him.

"Equal rights for women proposes the elimination of our
God-given roles as men and women, resulting in the
redefinition - and the eventually destruction - of family."

"Christian women are, by self-definition, inherently inferior." "Husbands, dwell with your wives, understanding that they are the weaker vessel and heirs with you of the precious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." (1 Peter 3:7) It is extremely difficult to convince an otherwise rational female that she should live under the command of a male (Ephesians 5:22).

(Leviticus 27 please read all)

All human embryos begin development as females (hence the nipples on males), but according to Christians: "As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from a defect in the active power."

-Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Q92, art. 1

"Every woman should be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman."

- St. Clement of Alexandria

More Christian Family Values "And Gideon had 70 sons, for he had many wives. His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also bore him a son, whom he named Abimelech." (Judges 8:30)
The writers of the bible were careful not to disgrace Gideon - patron of the famous hotel "Gideon’s bible" - by mentioning any daughters he might have had - but that is clearly one of the attributes that made him great in the eyes of Christians: out of 71 children - none were female.

Mother-in-laws make great pimps "Whose young woman is that?" (Ruth 2:5) "Blessed be the man who took notice of you!" "Go to him tonight. Wash and perfume yourself and put on your best clothes. When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do." "Spread a corner of your garment over me, my Lord." "The Lord bless you, my daughter,’ said the man. So she lay at his feet until morning." Anyway, they get married and "He went to her" and she gave birth to a male, which was a good thing because if it had been a female, she would have lost her -pardon- her husband’s land. (Ruth 2:19, 3, 4)

"The Beast with the ten horns you saw will hate the woman. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (Revelation 17:16)

"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her." (Ecclesiastes 7:26)

“When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among them a beautiful girl and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your house, shave her head, cut off her fingernails, and put aside the clothes she was wearing when she was captured.

”After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may go to her and be her husband. If you are not pleased with her, let her go. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave because you have dishonored her for other men.”   (Deuteronomy 21:10-14)

"If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside of the family. Her husband's brother shall take her to him to wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law. The first son she bears shall take the name of the dead brother so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel." (Deuteronomy 25:5-6)

"David and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. He brought the foreskins of their penises and presented them to the king so that David might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David." (1 Samuel 18:27) Well, who wouldn't?

"If a man has sexual intercourse with a female slave who is promised to another man and if her freedom was never bought or given to her, they should not be put to death because she is a slave. He shall bring a ram to the Tent of Meeting for a guilt offering to the Lord." (Leviticus 19:20-21)

"Teach the older women to be reverent. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands." (Titus 2:3-5)

"The Lord said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adultress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other Gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.' [yes, it actually says "the sacred raisin cakes"] So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and 10 bushels of barley." (Hosea 3:1-2)
How many times must it be reiterated that Christian women are the property of men?

Christian women are the property of men "You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet his wife, manservant, maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to him."
(Exodus 20:17) The actual stone-tablet Ten Commandments appear in Exodus 34:14-28.

The Women of Genesis

Adultry and forsaking a wife is okay if the husband gets stuff

"As they entered Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, 'I know that you are a beautiful woman. When the Egyptians see you, they will say, "This is his wife." Then they will kill me but let you live. Say you are my sister so that I will be treated well on your behalf and my life will be spared because of you.'

"When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a beautiful woman. They praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken to the palace. Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep, owen, donkeys, male and female slaves, and camels.

"But the Lord inflicted the household of Pharaoh with great plagues because of Sarai. Then Pharaoh called for Abram. 'What have you done to me?' he asked. 'Why did you not tell me she was your wife? Why did you say, "She is my sister," so that I took her as my wife? Now therefore, take her and go!'
(Note that she is not confronted. Since Christian women belong to men, he is the one who answers.)

"Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men about Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and everything he had." (Genesis 12:10-20)
Abram pulls the "she's my sister" routine again in Genesis 20:2 and another man "takes her."

Twelve women are mentioned up to this point in the bible:

five of which weren't even given names other than "Bob's wife" (a tradition still going strong in the Christian community),

one is forced by her husband to have sex with other men twice (Sarai) and this isn't even the interesting part of the story, and

Eve, who did some dumb thing, what was it...

The thirteenth woman mentioned in the bible is raped by Abram (Hagar, his slave, and becomes pregnant). (Genesis 16:2-3)

Fourteen and fifteen are Lot's daughters (no names). There is a little incident in Genesis 19 when a mob gathers outside of Lot's house demanding to "know" the men inside. Lot's response: "No, my friends. Do not do this wicked thing. Look, I have two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you and you can do with them what pleases you." (Genesis 19:3-8) See Sodom and Gomorrah story (also see Judges 19 gang rape)

Sixteen is Lot's wife (no name) who turned into a pillar of salt when she defied orders not to look back at a city under attack by Jehova (Genesis 19:17-26)

Lot's two nameless daughters (#14 & #15) are mentioned again when they become pregnant by their father (Genesis 19:34-36). The sons get names: Moab and Ben-Ammi.

Seventeenth is Sarah (Sarai) again, who is AGAIN with another man, again because her husband Abraham (Abram) told her to say she was his sister instead of his wife. (Genesis 20:2) The man gives Sarah back to her husband along with 1000 sheckels of silver to forgive HER. Turns out Abraham and Sarah are half-siblings on their father's side, thereby making him not exactly a liar, but her still an adultress. (Genesis 20:12)

"Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls so they could have children again, because the Lord had closed up every womb in Abimelech's household because of Abraham's wife Sarah." (Genesis 20:17)
Congratulations: you are now through only the first 14 pages of the bible.

In the fall of 2002, President George W. Bush appointed Dr. W. David Hager, a leading conservative Christian voice on women's health and sexuality, to the Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs of the Food and Drug Administration.

In his book, "Stress and the Woman's Body," Hager states that women who suffer from premenstual syndrome should seek help from reading the bible and praying.
