Well, that is more than I could ever want to know about the Lilith myth!Loved this: “In recent years, feminists have reconfigured the Lilith myth, claiming it reveals male anxiety about women who cannot be kept under patriarchal control. Lilith is admired as a woman who opposed Adam’s attempts at hegemony over her, who had a firm will, and who possessed the power of secret knowledge to assert her autonomy. In feminist versions of the creation story, Lilith demands equality with Adam. Her expulsion from the Garden of Eden indicates not her evil, but the intolerance of male entities, Adam and God, who insist on defining and controlling women. Her independence and knowledge reveal not her demonic nature or sexual miscasting, but represent all women seeking liberation from the imposition of narrow gender roles.”Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are in effect, the same religion (that of the western sky god; it begins with Zeus) wearing three different dresses. But in all of them the inferiority of women is a crucial component and is, as has been noted above (see the Valerie Tarico article) written right into their supposed (and oh-so-convenient) “word of god”.It seems to me that any “word of god” worth our attention would not only not disenfranchise half the people in the world, but would also not pretend that myths are literally true.
So let’s see how long it takes to create this kind of crap on the opposite side: Summit on Dehumanizing Children (Happy donkey walking in and waving to crowd); banner: child slavery; banner: war rape of children; banner: no school for girls; banner: late term abortion. That took about 4 minutes. Whoo, I’m whooped. Wow! I feel like a genius.

ISIS and Republicans hate the same people, Muslims and women.

I don’t love the Democratic slate, but I’m not appalled or alarmed, which is basically what you’ve got in the GOP.
