"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." I Timothy 2:11-14

Oh my bad, I forgot some of you guys don't know how to read an entire post. Let alone look for an unclipped video or read an entire news document.

Were you?
Ben Carson says he wouldn't support a Muslim as president because Islam is incompatible with the US Constitution, then you defended his position by reiterating the same message "Shariah law violates rights of women", then I showed you how Christianity also violates the rights of women and is also incompatible with the Constitution.
So why do you, and I'm presuming Carson, hold Islam up to a different standard than Christianity when they both demonstrably oppose women's rights and both violate the Constitution?

Carson: I can support a Muslim who denounces Sharia law

Let's quit dancing around the elephant in the room, what does Sharia law say about growing pot? All cool or will I lose a hand?

Because Islamic Countries use Shariah law to persecute women.
America doesn't use Christianity to behead, chop off hands, or restrict rights based on gender.

Why the different standard for Christianity than with Islam?
You guys are being hypocrites on this issue. You're saying one is OK and the other one's not and you're using a position of moral authority to justify it when our founding document states that all religions (or none at all) must be equally respected

They are equal if the person practicing it does not use their faith to subjugate others.

Politicians use Christianity to justify insane beliefs that persecute not only women but everybody; climate change denial, reproductive rights Planned Parenthood and contraception/abortion, etc. Arguably much worse

apples to oranges.
You are over generalizing too.
Is Climate Change a right? No. It is a scientific stance on humans effect on our environment. So not related to discussion.
Reproductive rights. You have the right to fuck who ever you want as long as they are over the age of consent.
You can buy contraceptives anywhere. Get your freak on and avoid pregnancy. Abortion is legal so I don't even know why you bring that up.

I think you're using two different sets of standards for Christianity and Islam because one has run through the gauntlet of western civilization for a couple thousand years and developed a cushy makeover for the 21st century while the other is still very much in its openly barbaric phase. You go back just a few hundred years and Christianity was exactly the same.

So you want the barbaric vs the cushy.
Got it.
You have a personal butt hurt about Christianity. I get it. Still irrelevant.

I think I get your point on the hypocrisy. But I like my hands. I think on balance you will find that Sharia, or pretty much any theocracy, will be more incompatible with the founding documents than compatible. I could be wrong, but I doubt you will ever see a president win office on a Sharia law platform.
