Oh come on....Really?

Ok, as I mentioned before, I'm not actually an atheist. I may or may not be the only non-atheist who contributes to this blog. However, I do like to shed light on fundamentalist hypocrisy and/or utter insanity. Today I have a shinning example of the latter.

Unfortunately for all tolerant people who live in my hometown, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is located here in Louisville. I was reading the Louisville Courier Journal online this morning and came across an interesting story. And by "interesting" I mean "god damn infuriating and almost beyond comprehension".

A Southern Baptist seminary student (who shall remain nameless because frankly I don't want her to do a google search and find this blog because I don't want to fucking hear her stupid opinion) wrote an editorial in the school's newspaper. I think the newspaper's name is Fuck Free Thought, but I could be wrong. Anyway, this woman, this human being who presumably has a vagina, says that feminism is completely against God's will. But wait, there's more. She also opines (I assume with a straight face) that Eve was the first feminist, and look where that got us! She herself used to be a self-described "anti-marriage, anti-childbirth" feminist, but she saw the light blah blah blah. Here's a pithy little quote from the idiot:

"My 'recovery' from feminism is not about learning how to bake pies or a decision to be more feminine (though these are important and helpful things). Instead, it is about repentance. Repentance of my desire to be in control and to raise my fist against God's created order. Only through repentance and faith in Christ am I, or any one for that matter, able to renounce rebellion and submit to the lordship of Christ. Recovery from feminism also means truly believing that God's Word regarding gender, and everything else for that matter, is true."

Jesus, whether one believes he is the Son of God, an historical prophet, or a fictional character, is on record for being very much IN FAVOR OF REBELLION. By being a feminist, she wasn't rebelling against the teachings of Jesus, she was rebelling against the powerful yet insecure old men who eventually brainwashed her into hating herself.

This woman has every right to chose to lead a life of pious indentured servitude under the thumb of some fundamentalist alpha-and-omega-male*, but that doesn't make her any less of a self-righteous, self-loathing nutcase.

*This isn't about a woman who decides to be a stay at home mom, or a man who decides to become a stay at home dad, or a couple who win the lottery and opt to be stay at home parents. This is about willfully choosing to be another human being's fucking lapdog and publicly fitting oneself for angel's wings as a result.
