The Gripe with Christianity:

[shemthepenman]

Why should the implied subservience of women nullify the validity of the Christian bible? The truth is not what it is because we like it.
The Truth is the Truth, even if it means killing children for Baal, who is the one true God.

No... that isn't what i said nor the point I was making. 
Nibbed interpreting Paul's words (non-literally) contradicts her claim that she believes in the literal word of the bible. My point is, if one is going to use all the tools of language, metaphor, simile, subtext, allusion, context, and historical context, in order to read Paul's words "women must be silent" non-literally, then why hold so dogmatically to a literal reading of the Adam and Eve story, for example, when those parts seem in most need of interpretation—being counterintuitive, anti-scientific, anti-what-we-know-to-be-true-about-the-world, and flying in the face of a tidal wave of a priori and a posteriori evidence.
I am not saying that one can't believe in the literal word of the bible; I would, however, suggest most female Christians who profess to believe it haven't taken a vow of silence; and yet still choose to ignore scientific descovery and bang on about how evolution is "just a theory" and think the world is 6000 years old... all I'm saying is, pick a lane! You can go on thinking god made the universe in seven days and that fossils were put there by the devil to test us, all you like... but, if you're a woman, you also have to acknoledge, for it is written, you've got to keep that nonsense to yourself.
