8. Sorry, that is what the 'Scriptures' teach, staffer asks a valid question, as she spouts

much Scripture and religion. The biblical teachings say many things in regard to the actions of women which most religious people like to pretend are not there. They are there. I personally assume that all who declare they are opposed to marriage equality due to St Paul's scratchings must also adhere to his teachings on women, their role, dress code and status. Sorry. Those who spout the biblical thing, it is fine to turn it on them. If they say they are 'biblical' they ought to really hold to it.
Goes for all who fling that poo.
