I know a thing about men that hit their wives and never is it a little godly tap on the cheek. Don't put your hands on a woman. You wanna be man then be one by getting a hold on your temper. A real man doesn't need to hit a woman to feel in charge.

LOL hilarious as much evil and immoral idea in the beginning) on women. You know what?? women aren't stupid, immature animals needed to be disciplined. Do you think Jesus would allow such behaviour on women?? what the hell is that? My advice : read what JOHN CHRYSOSTOME says about this : "If a man should have a bad-tempered wife, it is his obligation not to become irritated, but rather to humbly consider this tragedy the handiwork of God, punishing him for his sins. "Your wife may wage war against you," says Chrysostom, "She may meet you when you return home in a rage, wielding her tongue like a sword. It is sad when your helpmate becomes your enemy! But examine yourself. Did you never harm a woman in your youth? And thus that wound, inflicted by you on another woman, is now being healed by a woman, and the ulcer of another woman is being cauterized by your own wife. That a bilious wife is a punishment to the sinner is written in the Scriptures. A bad-tempered wife will be given to a sinning husband, given as a bitter antidote which will dry up the evil juices of the sinner." If, as Chrysostom teaches, an ill-tempered wife is a divine punishment, then clearly, the husband must endure it with absolute patience, and therefore nothing can justify physical violence against a wife. This violates the teachings on Christian patience and indulgence, and the understanding of love, which a husband must always maintain. Chrysostom emphatically condemns that inhumane treatment of wives which one frequently encounters, especially among the lower classes, as the highest degree of cruelty and barbarity. To correct the inadequacies of a wife, he recommends patient reasoning, not vituperation, and certainly not violence. "If a man beats his wife," he says, "it is a great dishonor, not only to her, but also to him. May God enlighten your blinded, machist prideful eyes.

You're disgusting and I'm sure Jesus would be real proud. Since you follow the bible and report to be an avid Christian doing your duty, how do you feel about Jesus being black? It says right in the bible that he came from Ethiopia with skin as dark as night and his hair was as a sheep's wool!! And the fact that Jesus was NOT born on December 25th but adopted by Christians from a Pagan holiday celebrating the Winter Solstice and the rebirth of the Sun God that Christians adopted to avoid being persecuted for their oulandish beliefs that there was only one true God????? People like you twist the Bible to suit your own pathetic needs to power!

Neither is dominant, neither submissive. We respect and love each other. Sometimes we disagree and we discuss it. Rarely we argue, but always come to a resolution. Sometimes she is wrong and learns from me. Sometimes I am wrong and I learn from her. There is no way one person is always right and another always wrong. If she submitted to my will when she knew I was wrong, that would undermine our loving marriage and replace it with an abusive relationship based on dominance. We couldn't go on that way. I do hope someday you will learn that you have an equal value to your husband, and that you can learn to treat both him and yourself with enough respect to demand an equal say to him in your marriage.

But sadly that is a modern, or post-modern, construct based on an ignorance of scripture. Only by being very selective can you justify the nice, kind, loving faith you so seek in the bible, and that selectivity undermines the basis for your faith in scripture. The fundamental problem here is that Chuck Reagan is entirely vindicated by the contents of the Bible. It really does justify wife beating, stoning of apostates and the killing of slaves with impunity. If you truly want a modern, kind, loving system of thought, then you will not find that in any of the Abrahamic religions which were founded on archaic Bronze Age morals, and complete ignorance of scientific reality. We know SO MUCH MORE now. You will find what you are looking for in modern Humanism. Check out your local Humanist organisations to learn more.

If someone disagrees with what I say I will hear a reasoned counter-argument. That is the reasonable and ethical way. If anyone strikes me for what I say, I will leave the modern way and beat them hard. I can't imaging taking a different view if I happened to be a woman. So go girl, demand respect and take no shit from ignorant religions nuts, or anyone else. X
