Your engaging in nonsense right now.
It’s possible you don’t know it’s nonsense- or- it’s possible that you are arguing in bad faith. I’m certainly not interested in going through this all day with you, but you said religious text, and that can’t be divorced from the context of the time it was written.
At the time that passage was written (and you only quoted half of it by the way- again- I don’t know if you are arguing in bad faith or ignorance) women were basically treated like chattel and slaves for their husbands. They were bought and sold, forced into marriages they didn’t want to be in, considered little more than breeding stock in many places, and in general were not considered to be worthy of any respect and certainly not equality either in practice or under the law.
the passage you quoted is essentially a two part exhortation from Paul:
1) man- love your wives as Christ loved the church- self sacrificing for her to the point of torture and death
2) women- submit to their husbands. That might sound odd to a 21st century American and I will certainly stipulate that there are mouth breathers and morons that pick and choose passages from the text that are divorced from the actual text, but I can promise you without the slightest doubt that the reason this thing spread like wild fire amongst women throughout the Jewish community in 33 CE is because it was such a radical change for the better in their lives.
This is the last I’m going to say on this subject. You made a really poor argument. You could always try to walk away from it and say “my bad” or you could Double down in zealotry. You got this much of a response from me bc I’m going to assume you are arguing in good faith and contextual ignorance, but at either rate that’s about all I have to give on the subject today before I get up and go to work.
TL/DR- there are all sorts of arguments against the church out there. There is no need to make any up out of whole cloth and divorced from context. This is a site for educated and enlightened people. We don’t have to all agree with anything but we should be able to talk to each other about historical events in a context that doesn’t completely ignore history.
I’ve always prayed for and desires more certainty in my faith. I ha e the nagging fear that none of this is real and I’m wasting my life- or else there is a higher power and we are getting it all wrong. I’m not a zealot unable to listen to someone telling me I’m wrong. But that’s not what you are doing here my man- you’ve got the argument totally wrong. Like, factually so.
