Just wondering

[Brainstormy]

if anyone else finds "Christian Feminist" a contradiction in terms.

[Binkie The Clown]

1. "Christian" and "feminist" are words that are defined a lot of different ways by different people

I'm sure some would define "Christian" so as to exclude "feminists", while others would define "feminist" to exclude "Christian", and other still would define both to be inclusive of the other. So, does "Christian" exclude "feminist"? I would say it depends on one's agenda as reflected by the way they define those two words.

4. I hear that, but

it sounds like you've confirmed my position. Given the misogyny in the Bible, to say nothing of the canonical scriptures in other religions, is it possible to support the autonomy, egalitarianism, etc., of women, and still be "Christian."?

2. Release your mind to more productive endeavors (n/t)

8. with all due respect, WTF

DOES THAT MEAN? Obviously you don't think I asked a legitimate question. You're free to ignore it, but I had a legitimate inquiry.

[PJMcK]

12. I meant no disrespect

Your question doesn't appear to have an answer. As a former Christian and an enlightened atheist, I suggest that trying to square anything from the Bible can be a fool's errand. This is especially the case with modernity.

That's all. I hope you have a great weekend.

3. nah, there are protestant sects that are very egalitarian.

It really depends on the flavor of christian.

[Brainstormy]

5. OK. Hit me with one.

Any one, that doesn't support Biblical teaching/attitudes about women.

[Voltaire2]

6. oh lets start with the unitarians

but you will probably object that they are sort of out there on their own, so then there are the Quakers, the United Methodist Churches and the Episcopalians (USA). They are all Christian Egalitarians.

[Brainstormy]

9. well, you have to admit that

most "Christians" wouldn't acknowledge Unitarians as being Christian. Doesn't
that put us back at square one?

[Voltaire2]

11. You asked for one and I gave you four.

And it is irrelevant what “most Christians” think.

7. No.

10. I always wonder about...

Women and LGBTQI people trying to change the RCC from within. Good luck I say, but I don't hold out much hope.
