The SBC may be shrinking, but it ain't shrinking fast enough.

If a woman wants to stay a 2nd class citizen it's fine by me. But when they want to impose that position on women who reject biblical dogma, we got a problem.

'I don't feel the need to be a pastor ' In God's word, he says that men are the head of the household.' And Lynn Meany, who teaches a Sunday morning class for adult women in her church in the suburbs of Memphis, Tenn., but who is not a pastor, told me, 'I believe the Scripture says it should be a man, and I agree with it.'

They booted Rick Warren's church out for having women priests. But religion reinvents itself, usually to where the money is.

I've heard radio bible thumpers as well as conservative Christian acquaintances say that: "a wife is to a husband as the husband is to Jesus".

It's a bible verse:

Sure, but the point is, it's terrible advice for a woman and bad for a culture. Making women second class is terrible.

Of course. But anything that's an actual Bible verse is going to get quoted a lot by Xtians - even if they don't actually quote it as advice.

Minor quibble: the bible verse isn't that a wife is to a husband as the husband is to Jesus, but as the church is to Jesus.
