My Comments

Okay, that was entirely too long. I originally planned on just typing up the Psalms that mentioned women and not bothering to write up the chapters that didn't mention any women, but I wanted people to see just how ridiculous it all is. When all the chapters missing women are just laid out like that you can see just how devoid of women the Bible really is. I'm just glad it's over. Below are my reactions to the small amount of verses that had women. The number refers to the Psalm, not the verse, since no Psalm had anymore than one or two verses about women in it.

78: Gotta love how a punishment equal to being set on fire is to not get married. A great example of how women's sole purpose in life is to marry a man (in order to have more male children). If she cannot even do that she might as well be dead.

84: Holy shit even female animals can't get away from the women = mothers theme in these Psalms. What the hell?

86: He asks for her child to be saved but not the serving girl herself? Classy. Did he just not have enough time to ask for her to be saved specifically? That would be hard to believe since most of these have been prayers by David. So I guess he just doesn't give a shit about her since he obviously has the time to pray about everything else under the sun.

113: This is true except when God decides that women should BE barren when they were previously able to bear children. So, you know, why praise him for giving barren women children when he is just as likely to turn around and make her barren again (ie. Rebekah and Leah).

139: Seriously, does the Bible have to try and take anything a woman can do away from her? Women can give birth, and apparently because men cannot they have to do everything in their power to take that away from her. So God is the only that creates the child inside her womb. This basically leaves the woman as just a glorified baby holder. The man provides the seed and God makes the actual baby, so what exactly does the woman do here? Oh how I long for the pagan and goddess based religions that actually had a respect for a woman's ability to create life. Instead we get this bullshit that does it's best to devalue a woman's role in creating life. I throw my hands up in frustration! Ugh!

144: What does this even mean? :\

Holy crap! Now finally we can move on to something new!
