Female Atheists: Does the demeaning role of women in the Bible (and most religious texts) have anything to do with your current belief system?

Not in the least. The thing that put me off was the hypocracy in the church, the meanness of church-goers and the bible-bashing idiocy of evangelicals. If they are an example of what religion does to people I would advise everyone to run as far away as possible when they approach you. Alot of the women have horrendous personality and personal problems too and that is why they are there.

The thing for me is, how can the Christian God go from Old Testament (and treating women like shit), to New Testament (where he saves a prostitue) and still be the same God? Thanks for the answer! +2

You're welcome. Yes, alot of contradictions. I don't understand how God's chosen man, Lot, could offer his wife and daughters to the Sodomites to be abused all night and then sleep with his daughters. Does that mean that if we all practice incest and prostitute are family that we will be well looked on by God?:(
