Baked beans are part of the Full English. However I always pass them up (along with the fried tomato) and ask for extra mushrooms instead

I guess there are, just as there are positions between being a 'strange fruit' loving member of the KKK and thinking that blacks are OK as long as they stay on their side of the railroad tracks

I agree that He created them male and female. I don't agree that that justifies a gender pay gap or that my daughter can't be a journalist, or that the subject of the OP can't be a cop. And what on earth has soy got to do with it?

Only if you read the Bible through a patriarchal lens; it's man I'm shaking my fist at, not God...

Why so gender-specific though? I know couples at church where the wife earns more than the hubby so she goes out to work and he's the stay-at-home dad; works perfectly well. Or others eg: where both husband and wife are teachers, where they both work part-time and cover the child-care between...

If by 'compatiblist' you mean 'complementarian' , then they're 'fundie-lite' for me, in much the same way as for many here 'socialist' is 'communist-lite', so no overreaction from me

Thanks - I was hyperbolically exaggerating somewhat and had more in mind the sort of Plymouth Brethren set up my wife was forced to endure whilst growing up rather than anything specifically American, where women weren't allowed to go on to further education because, 'quite clearly', God's Word...

I see there is no withdrawal of the slur on me and my daughter. That tells me you have a morally bankrupt argument

We've moved on, thanks be to God

I am not 'wilfully ignorant' of God's Word, I study it diligently daily. I just don't share your fundie interpretation of it which apparently needs personal insults to back it up and lend it legitimacy. Do you see the difference?

That's a gross insult to me and my daughter. I'd rather she fulfils her God-given potential than be subject to the man-made rules of the 'Christian' equivalent of the Taliban that would keep her gestating chained to the kitchen sink

Explain how they wound up in jail then

Yes and we ended up with a Nazi dictator the moment we lost our guns. Oh wait. We didn't

Did they just put themselves in jail then?

I ask you again what you mean by that. My daughter wants to be a journalist. She has the ability and the aptitude to succeed at that and I for one as a good dad am not going to allow opinions like yours based on a flawed fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible to tell her she can't do that...

It was an instruction given to a people in a particular social-cultural context that I am thankful no longer exists; elsewhere he similarly gives instructions to slaves and I am equally thankful slavery no longer exists. What possible problem could a Christian have with slavery being abolished?

And a husband's job should be a husband and father primarily.

Explain! I suspect you're on thin ice here do choose your next words with care...

Only on Saturday night...but best you don't know about our bedroom life...!

Because - and thanks be to God for this! - we no longer live in an age where such obnoxious sexist attitudes (along with slavery, segragation and other forms of racism ) are no longer allowed to flourish and have rightly been consigned to the dustbin of history; I'm heartily glad that my...
