No.

Because I don't like:

22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.



... which is why I'm still single.

No. The bible was written by humans and translated so many times who knows what the original said?

There is an amazing integration of design in the text.

For that, I recommend checking out the following

All Christians are to know their Bible. While it provides instruction for living, the central theme of the message is about the Redeemer "God with Us" Messiah Jesus.

There is no proof of a god thing.

And to answer the op, not just no, but for ford's sake, no.

alot of people these days are over zealous with the bible, because in reality its the simplest book ever written in my mind.

I also believe it has been re written by humans, most likely corrupted males. No way God/Jesus would state that women be submissive. As in do whatever as they are told, when god knew the possiblilty of the corrupt.

Also im happy some of the females around understand the wrongness in that submissive line, your brains are working just fine

I find this thread funny especially since most women in America are spiritual or religious in some way shape or form. As an athiest and as an idealist rationalist woken tend to go with guys with religious iconography like a tattoo of Christ or a cross around his neck.

Yeah. I just posted this on the other thread actually. My guy should have same beliefs and values as me. As in he believes in God with all his heart,soul,mind and LIVING it not just lip service.

Although the reading the bible together is not gonna happen since I myself has not read the bible for decades. The important thing is feeling God's presence in your lives. And God is ALWAYS there even if you dont read the bible every sec of your life. HE knows your heart.

No I wouldn't, not because I'm agnostic either. It's because I've been raised with men who take the scriptures you cited literally and twist and turn them to fit their own agendas. No thanks, just a good guy with good morals and feet will do for me.

Just out of curiosity, why do you refer to yourself as a "reluctant" atheist?
