How to beat your wife...

Post Reply New Topic

Where is the modern Christian writing condoning wife beating?

Well I am sure if we looked around then we would find a preacher from the 'men must lead the household' camp who sees it as a solution, it seems to come with patriarchal thinking. Just because someone found an Islamic loon who says these things and presented it to us does not mean that comparable Christian teachings can not be found, personally I have better things to do with my time than to go looking for one.

All the Muslim men I have met or know find the idea of beating their wife or children distasteful to say the least.

peace j

Where is the passage in the koran that says it's ok to beat your wife? Or is this just another instance of a society misinterpreting religious passage to do evil, which is something Christianity has made a past time of?
The only reason Christian fanatics aren't blowing s**t up as often as fanatic muslims is because Christian fanatics live in a 1st world nation with checks and balances that remain in the international eye of judgement, whereas in 3rd world muslim countries things are already so chaotic that people kill each other on television. It's not a cultural thing so much as it is an economic thing. They can get by with more because of their economic environment, if Christians had that ability they'd be using it too.

Once again, I'm not saying this is right, people of any faith misuse that faith though, it is not specific to Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Atheist or Buddhist or Hindu.

i'd like someone to answer my questions

it cant be answerd not because of god, but because of man.

man wrote the bible. therefore it doesnt make any sence

I personally don't think the bible or the koran make any since, but I'm not gonna act like one of them is any better than the other either though.

i think man was 'diaologing' with someone. possibly aliens when he wrote his holy books. that, or he was on drugs

That is a possibility I have considered, though I don't know this for fact. But I can plainly see the similarities in the messages of world religions, names and symbols reappearing from one religion to the next, as all this --could-- be UFO cover-ups and all the "miracles" (even as far back as pagan mythologies) --could-- be highly advanced technology that is beyond our comprehension.

the native americans especially the hopis here in the southwest belived in aliens

heres the hopi propheacy
