A member of the American Taliban writes a LTTE.

Sorry, I can't just link to this as the paper requires a monthly fee to read online. I am sometimes dumbfounded by where I live.

This appeared April 14 in the "Northwest Arkansas Times":

Well, with the latest big news item on TV (sic) women fussing about their pay in the Walmart workforce, I would like you all to consider another viewpoint on the subject most of us fail to even consider. How about what our creator thinks about it?

In the Bible, Titus 2:4-5 reads, "That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."

The key phrase here - "keepers at home" - once upon a time, that is mostly what women did. Home keepers, homemakers, God's role for a woman. But most American women are in rebellion to God and man. They are running amok, in places and positions they should never be in. Thus we western nations now have the worst divorce rate. People want their big fancy homes, fancy automobiles, all the fineries, instead of listening to what God says.

And many of you men are also to blame. Women began to be out of their place with the granting of the vote.

Then they cut off their hair, which signified that they were no longer under the authority of a man. But insisted on equal rights, then she adopted men's clothing, and also went into a state of undress. American men and women, repent and turn back to God.

1. These are the people poised to destroy America

These are the enemy.

[ixion]

3. Indeed. They hate us for our freedoms

as evidenced by this op/ed.

[demosincebirth]

9. You mean numb nuts was right/1

[ixion]

16. well, in a sense... he was talking about a different set of religious extremists

but in truth ALL extremists hate freedoms other than the ones they condone.

17. How about Leviticus 6:6

If men whineth like little babies, cut off their heads. If they standeth in the way of woman, let them suffer from famine. If they keep women down, let them doeth their own fucking clothes-eth.

I made that up. :)

18. The really, really new international version!

[roguevalley]

20. Yeah,. :-D

2. A lot of them actually actually believe that, something like Limpbo and his femi nazis..

These people are quite insecure and need someone to walk all over, boss around, and bully. Oh, and assault, we can't forget that. And they have their female enablers. Sad, sad, sad.

[Wait Wut]

4. I don't know the actual numbers, but...

...the women I know don't work for "big fancy homes, automobiles and fineries"...they work to feed their families, keep a leaky roof over their head and shoes on their kid's feet. I'm pretty sure that's the majority.

5. "out of their place" oh really?

Where's my brickbat and golf shoes. I want to give a clog dancing class on this jackass's head.... :grr:

[Capitalocracy]

6. How is it possible for someone to continue to believe this?

Apparently there are still single-income households? I thought they were extinct, considering how much people are generally paid. How priveleged this man must be to be in a financial position to question the morality of women working!

[sinkingfeeling]

11. This is Arkansas. One of the lowest per capita income states in the Union.

7. Here's the last sentence. I couldn't post this all together.

"This country is going to pay for the way it has went, so women, some of you may wise up, and remember what God said to you, in his word!"

8. And thus, that lovely bumper sticker that reads

"A woman's place is in the House. And the Senate."

10. ....

Speechless. :o

[nichomachus]

12. There is a church in my neighborhood

where women are not allowed to speak in church or even ask questions. If they have any questions, they have to wait until they get home and their husbands can explain it to them.

[hifiguy]

13. That kind of stupid can't be fixed, only resisted. nt

[madmom]

14. Sounds like one of the dip-wads that write to our local rag.

15. Yet under the surface of many of the "contemporary" churches springing up

lies the blackened heart of fundamentalism.

In the D/FW area there are numerous contemporary churches. They sport names like "The Mount", "Crossroads" or "The Fellowship Church" without displaying their denomination. Yet many of them are simply Southern Baptist churches with a different façade. Though the sermons may have a light, airy feel to them their theology remains unchanged. Women are and always will be second-class participants in these places; they are why the churches can even function, but they never will be granted true leadership roles.

In the SBC churches where I served, women made the church possible. Without their free labor the church would have ground to a halt. Yet even women who were 4.0 graduates from seminary could never ascend to the pulpit or other visible positions.

Most of the people who attend these contemporary churches have no real idea of the underlying theology. All they care about is a clean, well-lit and safe place for their family and children to enjoy a few hours each week. That's pretty much the extent of their theological contemplation.

19. Advocating for Sharia law in Arkansas?

Hoodathunkit?


Fundy women-hating religions are the same the world over.

21. I guess this man then should start wearing what Jesus wore

and take up carpentry. Ride a camel to work, or walk in his sandals. Get rid of his wood frame house.
