DLL, My apologies if I neglected to respond to a post from you last week. It was a blitz of posts, and looks as tho' I missed more than one. As far as things said in the Bible re woman & man--no offense intended--but my mind has no interest whatsoever in analyzing its content. I am totally convinced it was written in ancient times by human beings in order to keep social order. The intention was to deceive the uneducated(women, slaves, children) into believing that this was gods word. I believe you referred to the Jewish Torah(sp?). If the book is also claimed to be the word of god, my attitude towards it is exactly the same as towards the bible. Both books principal intentions were to keep those in authority at the time in complete control of the masses which included women, children, slaves & some other men. It was a very clever way to control people & make it look as tho' god was doing it. Therefore, I can't give even pleasant words contained therein any credence. take care, Ann

DLL, In response to your May 21 post: Last sentence: "he looked at the two of them and called them man." Evidently from this quote I would say god's translation of the word "man" is "man & woman" or "parents." Therefore the argument that god called men to lead is moot. He was saying "man & woman" should lead. Your argument "God called men to lead is probably a responsibility God gave because men are less responsible" is extremely interesting. Since god is supposed to know all things would he not have known that far too many men would be irresponsible in this context and desert their chidren in many cases. If you're inferring that god felt woman's role was the most important and she was the actual leader & man's job was to protect her, then why wasn't she the general high on the hill(safe from all slings & arrows) instead of a male directing all the battles thru the ages. "while as a man find it easier to put my wife first....out of loving sacrifice care for her needs, while she cares for the needs of the children." This is a very commendable thought. However, I believe children need their father just as much as their mother. When men permit there caring instincts come to the fore as far as children they are just as competent nurturers as women. It's not fair to push this tremendous responsibility onto women's shoulders alone. It takes two to raise children in all ways. Two to feed them, change diapers, help with homework, bathe, burp, sing them lullabyes, play with them, read to them. It's o.k to take turns though:o) It's far to easy to blame the mother then if there's a problem with a child in later life. Reminds me of the multi-levels of management men set up in their corporations in order that there be many places to lay the blame other than at the CEO's feet if something went wrong. Better say bye--netscape is on the way;o) Ann
