To all the atheist women.....?

Question

aren't you glad that not a single line in the bible was written by a woman?

Answer 1

The book of Ruth was most likely written by Samuel.  Even if it wasnt Samuel that wrote it, it def was not a woman.  Women were not allowed to write or to be educated in that time, only men.  If anthything, this question just gives further evidence that the Bible is, in fact, just a book.  A good book, that teaches alot of lessons on how to live ones life.

btw, I am not an atheist, I just choose to think for myself

Answer 2

Is that true? I am not an expert on the Bible by any means. I think that shows that the Bible is not very credible because of course women should be included.  

Answer 3

Many believe Ruth was written by a woman.  But I see your point.

Answer 4

Was that suppose to hurt?

Well then, God bless.

Answer 5

I guess so. I would rather not have my gender participating in that bigotry and self-hate.

Answer 6

I believe there is a "Book of Ruth".

Answer 7

Once again, Fireball has just rocked my Amadeus.

Answer 8

We might be crazy, but not stupid.

Answer 9

That's like asking are you glad that no American helped write it.

If I don't believe in it in the first place, what should it matter who wrote it, especially since they didn't appear to write anything else (say a book on mathematics) that would lend credibility to any of their more fantastic assertions.  

Answer 10

Since Fireball is having trouble with reality.  Women did in fact write books and have books written for them.  Were christian women?  Probably not.  But then again neither was the christian god or jesus, so go figure.

Answer 11

Um - and here's another ignorant lout who hasn't learned that women are men's equal in all respects but one: reproductive capacity.

Answer 12

I don't think anyone knows who wrote it.  There are gospels (one in the kjv, but more in other bibles) attributed to women.  Don't blame it all on us guys!

Answer 13

To all the religious people.....?

aren't you glad that not a single line in the bible was written by God or Jesus?

Answer 14

haha, its good to know us women aren't that stupid...

Answer 15

Atheists of any gender might have preferred if the Bible hadn't been written at all.  If so then that is their position, and not mine.

If you are a Christian, you must already know that many people incorrectly accuse us of misogyny and sexism.  I don't understand why you would feed the error of non-Christians by asking this question.

Answer 16

I'm a male but I have to say, great question. You should be very proud :)

I'd love to see how human society would have developed differently had it been mainly a matriarchy instead of what we have today.

When you consider the difference in behaviours between chimps and bonobos you've got to wander if it might not have been for the best.    

Answer 17

why not ask us all????

Methodist

Answer 18

The Book of Ruth was certainly written by someone with a good feel for women, even if they weren't a woman themselves.
