Feminism has often been questioning of Christianity, as we can see in this article by Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon who later comments..
Now that the dominant ethno-cultural group can’t throw its weight around like it used to, they’re getting panicky and upping the Jesus stuff.
Christianity as the dominant religion of the west does seem to be under intense feminist scrutiny as we can see here ..
In 1990 Daphne Hampson presented the controversial thesis that “feminism represents the death-knell of Christianity as a viable option” in her Theology and Feminism. The repudiation of a world religion as influential and widespread as Christianity is an extravagant claim for any movement to make, and the natural Christian response is one of affront. However, the feminist ideology, associated as it is with extremely valuable and humane principles of equality, justice and freedom, is a system of thought which must be taken extremely seriously by Christians.
We can see more of this here ..
Why aren’t feminism and Christianity compatible? Because they contradict each other. Anyone familiar with the rudiments of logic knows that both sides of a contradiction may be false, but they cannot both be true.
This has lead to responses by various Christian ministries such as this one ..
There is a particular scripture frequently quoted by feminists as backing their position: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28). This use of this scripture points out the dangers of quoting scriptures out of context. Even a cursory, superficial reading of the full chapter reveals that what is being discussed is access to salvation, not the right to hold office in the church or the status of particular groups within church, family or society.
And this one ..
Along with rejecting Jesus, feminism rejects the Bible as the revelation of God because it is a tool used to suppress women. Ultimately feminism is about the rejection of ALL AUTHORITY except that of the self.
All of this leads to some interesting questions.
- Why does an ‘egalitarian civil rights movement’ concern itself with religion?
- ..and why Christianity in particular?

It should be remembered that Ms. Marcotte and Melissa McEwan of Shakespeare’s Sister both were bloggers for John Edwards Democratic Campaign. They both refer to Christians as “Godbags and Christofascists“. This Hate Speech caused them to be removed from the Edwards campaign. The Bastardization and Feminization of Christianity is well under way. Christians for Biblical Equality is a front organization as are other groups trying to Feminize the Catholics. It is a scam, an attempt to eat away at the core beliefs of their enemies by wrecking them from the inside.
The only question is whether the Protestants, Catholics, and their variants will completely compromise their core beliefs to satisfy their enemies. Maybe they are that crazy, if they are in a few generations they will cease to exist. Muslims are having Children, most of the Christianity Lite sects are not having children to even replace their numbers. Jews are also not having children to replace their numbers in the US.

What will the Anti Christian Bigot Amanda Marcotte do now that Sharia has been upheld in Texas Courts. Yes you read that correctly. Amanda has not acknowledged the Honor Killings in Dallas nor the Texas Court of Appeals that
upheld Sharia Law in February of this year! Sharia has come to Texas. And it was about Marriage and a dowry.

Allahu Akbar. Can you believe this? Yesteday Fox News reports the FBI confirmed the killings of two girls in Dallas was an Honor Killing. Now Sharia Law is upheld in Texas. What’s next Veils for Women and Bhurkas? Wow.

EF: This is a great post, and I could write an entire pamphlet of commentary. But here is one thing that really pokes me in the eye like a hangnail:
“Ultimately feminism is about the rejection of ALL AUTHORITY except that of the self.”
Coming from a feminist, that is an ASTOUNDING statement. On the one hand, it is just the sort of moral relativism you might expect from them. On the other, it is a GLORIOUS GIFT ON A GOLD PLATE!
Think of it: I can now reject ALL AUTHORITY except that of Fidelbogen. This means that feminism has no authority over Fidelbogen.
Now that sounds like a power-sharing plan I can live with! 😉

Upon reading the passage again, I discover that the statement was NOT made by a feminist after all. Well. . . that’ll teach me not to skip over things so quickly! 😦
STILL. . . I cannot help wondering what the average feminist would make of such a statement. What, according to the feminist world-view, IS the final source of “authority”— moral, political or otherwise?
Good luck getting a straight answer out of them! 😉

Regarding above Randall Shake October 14, 2008 at 9:03 pm, and generally…
The only reason liberalism –and feminism specifically as its jewel– has any power is ’cause the christians keep fighting its wars for it.
Chrsitians are uniquely susceptible to the demagoguery feminism uses.

How ridiculous, considering that Christianity was the first religion to roundly condemn things such as the exposure of infant girls, and I’d love them to find another major religion whose texts showed women as major players in major events, even as the men involved were showing cowardice and disbelief. The male disciples, with the exception of John, fleeing the Crucifixion while the women stayed faithfully; the WOMEN being the ones first at the tomb, braving the dark and the soldiers they knew would be there, and not even knowing what they would do about the stone, all to anoint the Body, and then learning of the Resurrection, running to tell the men, and the men disbelieving them. A religion used to hold women in bondage would not give them the starring roles while showing the men in an unflattering light.
What bunk.

Cecily you are ignorant of history. It was 77,000 Christian Men, Serbs including the Crown Prince Lazar of Serbia. Who gave their lives at the Field of the Blackbirds in Kosovo defending the Christian West from the Ottoman Turks.
It was Charles the Hammer Martell at the Battle of Tours who defeated the Moors and prevented Gaul (France) from falling to Islam. This led later to the Spanish Christians expelling the Moors from Andadulsia.
It was 75,000 Christian Men who died at the Gates of Vienna with John Sobeski the Polish Lion of the North. Not a Woman in sight. Who defeated 150,000 Moslems and saved the West from Islam. I wonder if your Woman’s studies professors ever revealed this history or other historical events to you? I seriously doubt it.

I believe Cecily is referring to events in the BIBLE, not historic events. She means that if Christianity was all about oppressing women, the women in the Bible would have been given a less substancial role.

FCH,You can do a deferred caoiensmtpon package to reduce your pay for a given year or set of years, but you’re still going to have to pay taxes on it eventually. Admittedly, if you plan to work at the high-pressure job for only a few years and then go into government/public interest or just stop working entirely, you can get your caoiensmtpon evened out, but that’s not hugely common except among career politicians who occasionally cycle back and forth between lobbying and being in government. And if you drop dead while you’re still working at that job and it goes into your estate, it will be taxed at a higher rate than if you had just declared it each year.
