I think it's part of being a "gob" (good old boy) the same attitude that has tried to keep women down or "in their place" for years. Maybe some men feel threatened by her.

The attached cartoon is not intended to offend but I think it shows the "gob" mentality.
ABSOLUTELY! There always has been a glass ceiling on leadership positions in and out of the church...women have to work twice as hard, produce twice, as much as a man in the same position and she is always seen as being aggressive, out of her place, and an ogre.

Do you think this was what God meant when he put the curse on Eve? Or do you think is is just man's fallen nature that wants to beat up on women instead of loving them?

I have seen this in the work place as well, not limited to just churches.

I hope you're right, but I doubt it.

Re: Fooled by Barak Hussein Obama

Christians loose their Christianity when it comes to politics. Good men full of the Holy Ghost will perpetuate lies/propaganda and attack fellow saints of God who disagree. Maybe the early Amish and Minnonites were right by abstaining from participation in politics to focus on Christian living. Today most Christians are just pawns for the right or for the left. A sad state of affairs indeed.

So true!

Up in Canada, while we don't have a clause in our Constitution that states a separation of Church and state, Churches or more importantly, non profit entities are not supposed to be political.

In Canada, if one candidate/party is endorsed from the pulpit, they are in danger of losing thier tax exempt status.

Re: Fooled by Barak Hussein Obama

Just last night I was at a brother's house and he showed me a video about a candidate that had some significant distortions. I didn't endorce any candidate, I just pointed out the distortions and advised he review factschecker websites in the internet. He raised his voice at me and began to interrupt everything I had to say and questioned my devotion to the Lord. When I got the chance I told him that I wasn't willing to be abused and told him that our friendship was over. I left, my wife was virtually in tears because she loves this family. That's what politics has turned us into.

Kind of off topic, but I find it interesting that someone who is "respected as a Christian (Christ-like)" would make a comment like that. That is a reason that of the criticisms that are leveled at mainstream Christianity by some people does get traction.
