Women and religion…. wow I could probably go on and on about this but then I would probably come off as a closed minded hypocrite. Which is not true, in fact I grew up in a religious family, and I have been through communion, I am technically a member of a church, and on holidays I will attend church. I will admit that if it was not for my religious back ground and prior knowledge of the bible would I have come to the conclusion that I have at this point in my life, nor would I be able to defend myself against verbal attacks. Despite my history I have been able to separate myself from the constraints that religion provides. While several people find them to be comforting, and familiar, to me it is a cognitive straitjacket. This really upsets my parents, and honestly I could never tell my grandparents that I don’t believe in god, this is only because I couldn’t stand to break their hearts.
While most of the women that I know are religious and or are Christians, they do not embrace the fact that the Bible has completely neglected them. While I have come to understand that religion as a topic is taboo and to talk about with most Christians, but I have only found this with Christians. I have come up with my own theories to why that is, but I am not going to put them on the internet.
