Post 219:
Bodhi, thanks for explaining about why it's another desperate Christo lie.
What nonsense about women having a low spiritual position in Hinduism. Women in my family generally do not say the Gayathri mantra. When I was younger, I asked why that was (I was just curious). I was told both by my aunt and my grandmother that most of these mantras are compulsory for men (that men need to say them to experience their good effects), and that women need not even say them as they have the beneficial effects automatically conferred on them.

More of what respected Christians have said about women, firmly basing their views on the Bible.
The Biblical Curse of Eve was used by clergy to prevent physicians from administering anaesthetics to relieve pain during child birth.
Fact
584 CE Council Of Macon: bishops gathered to vote on "Are women human?" By a narrow vote (of 1), women obtained human status in Christianity.
Apparently, the decision was not final, as the question had to be reconsidered by the Protestants too:
Lutherans at Wittenberg debated whether women were really human beings at all.

Equality in Christianity today:
"A wife should submit herself to the leadership of her husband. Leadership in the church should always be male."

No wonder the Christos have to invent lies (as they have always done - like they did to Roman and Greek religion): they have to make themselves look good or at least not come out worse off. But there's no hiding the evils of Christo teaching.
