The word of God shows clearly why people think that the Bible is sexist. James 1:13-15 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Give up attacking the Bible. 1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. Let only positive things come onto netnews so we can all learn. Degrading the Bible is meaningless as nobody learns anything from fruitless talk.

In other words, ''If you don't like the Bible, keep your mouth shut''?? Are you applying this to all things you believe in as well? Do people not have the right to express their dis- beliefs? You definitely have the right to believe in and learn from the Bible, but others have an equal right to not believe in the Bible and also convey THEIR feelings! It's not a one way street.
