How do female followers of the Abrahamic religions feel about the misogyny in the Bible and Qu'ran?
Q. How do female followers of the Abrahamic (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) religions justify the blatant misogyny in the holy books? Do you religious females feel as though you should hold an inferior status in society in comparison to men, and that you should submit to the will of your husband?

A. I'm a single, sexist feminist who knows the world is run by the Good Ol' Boy Club. Let it be. All men have done is screw up the world. All the women in high positions pander to the jackasses, and they probably wish they were hiding a set of balls in their Victoria's Secrets, anyhow.

Do you think this is a more apropriate name for the Abrahamic religions?
Q. Should they not be called the Messianic religions instead of the Abrahamic Religions, there are a number of problems with that title, look it up on wikipedia to see it. I think Messianic religions are more fitting since Judaism, Christianity and Islam all awate a Messiah or the return of a Messiah as the central prophetic theme. It was just a random brainwave.

A. Not at all. A messiah is not a central them of Judaism. In fact most gave up on that since the messiah was to reestablish the kingdom of Israel, and they already did that. Also the jewish people reject jesus as the Messiah because he did not fullfill the messianic prophecies. Islam connects themselves to Judaism through the blood of Ishmael, son of Abhraham, It's central to them. The qua ran is more central to them as the pure word of god (as opposed to the man written bible), more important than a messiah. So no, abrahamic is a good description for them all, messianic only describes christians.

A. Yes. The invention of the anthropomorphic warrior volcano gods were part of the political battle between the sexes to wrest power from the women and their goddesses. Back before men realized that they had any contribution to making babies, women had sex with whomever it pleased them to be with, and birth was a miracle between a woman and her favorite goddess. Then people began farming and raising animals it soon became obvious that males has something important to do with reproduction.

Sex education according to the Abrahamic religions?
Q. Sexual deviancy is forbidden in Abrahamic religion and yet the story of creation relies on the idea that a man had sex with a woman made from his rib bone and their children practiced incest in order to create the whole population of today.

A. You can't often make sense of the bible. In effect, to a unbiased observer, it does not. The evidence for the bible being a collection of stories from men of a more primitive age with a less advanced understanding of virtually everything, from basic science to morality is painfully obvious to so many people now. The old testament, which is incorporated into the beliefs of all three of the major monotheistic belief systems, is so riddled with constant cruelty, slavery, inequity and genocide that it seems almost incomprehensible to an objective view of modern morality.

The three faiths build on each other in layers You start with Judaism, which has the Torah as it's holy book.

How are Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic religions linked?

Asked by Xinio64-Noldor Mage - Wed Apr 1 19:12:20 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Zoro came from Eran Wej in what is now Western Iran, whilst Abe came from the city of Ur, which is now in Eastern Iraq. Pretty close geographically. However, if you accept traditional dating, the youngest given for Abe's departure from Ur is 2000 BC, while the oldest date given for Zoro's life and times is 1000 BC. Therefore, maybe both dudes were borrowing from earlier sources common to their region of birth. Epic of Gilgamesh refers to a mythic God/King who may have been modeled on an actual King who lived about 2700 BC. Maybe it was all just in the Zeitgeist of the Mesopotamian regions in the millennia before the common era.

How are the Abrahamic religions different from Greek or Roman mythology?
Q. Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians believed fervantly in their gods/goddesses. For them what they practiced was "the true faith." The Egyptians, for example, already believed in "life after death" and their Goddess Isis and her son Horus have been portrayed in the art of the time as "madonna and child." So it seems that the religions of today are just the same themes with different characters. Your thoughts?

After Abraham Issac and Ishmael separated and their ancestors made Islam and Judaism essentially identical with some minor differences of more or less prophets (hud, saleh, isa etc.) and cultural issues. Christianity essentially took Abraham's religion and just ran with what ever Paul had to say with mixes of Mithraism and other European traditions.

Are Eastern religions more appropriate for the modern world than the Abrahamic religions?
Q. Eastern religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, are much deeper than Abrahamic religions. In Christianity and Islam, there is one path that everyone must follow, or else God will be angry. In other words these religions are very authoritarian. In Eastern religions, there are many possible paths and there is more freedom to choose. I am not religious at all, but I find that many of the concepts in Eastern religions to be psychologically healthier. Abrahamic religions stifle thinking and command obedience. Eastern religions encourage free thought. Maybe Authoritarian religion was acceptable when people lived in tribes (and in caves) but I think humanity needs to embrace free thought to move forward.

A. I agree with novangelis ... it *isn't* hard. The minority of fundamentalist Christians who call themselves "Creationists" do not speak for all Abrahamic religions. The Catholic church alone is home to more than 1.1 billion of the world's 2 billion Christians (more than half), and the Catholic church has no problem with evolution.

A. Interesting Q. I just wish people had expanded on their answers some more! My problem, apart from ignorance is whether by complexity you mean linguistically? Practically? Philosophically? Apart from the question as to how one can quantify such things as metaphysics? Certainly when I read about Sufism, the actual practice seemed complex, or at least 'many layered', but I guess that's to be expected from any esoteric discipline. Though the actual principal, union with the divine, startlingly simple. Theosis I know nothing about. As for Kabbalah, when I studied a small amount of alchemy the Kabbalistic aspects did seem quite complex. Whether these compare at all to the sort of thing Madonna is involved in, I don't know.
