In reply to the discussion: Feminists can be Christians, too [View all]darkstar3
(8,763 posts)1. That's called shifting the burden of proof. Not playing. When a claim cannot be verified, then it need not be treated as true, and therefore the entire idea of "disproving" it is ridiculous.
2. Then you have blinders on. Which of course, I already knew.
3. What do you want, a cookie? Your church has made "progress" toward a level of equality that has been seen in non-religious groups for decades. Bravo.
And since you have such problems recognizing fallacy, I should point out that this is a straw man of your construction. Not a single person on this thread has attempted to deny such "progress". Instead, the topic of the thread was feminists in Chrisitianity, and the topic of this subthread has been the lack of equality in Christianity. You admit that equality hasn't been reached, and ergo, you make my point again for me.
4 & 5. There are myriad denominations around this country, and around the world, whose members would look at you like you had sprouted a third eye if you referred to their leaders as "ordained". And again, the topic of this thread is equality, and you brought up the concept of female ordination as if it were some indisputable example of equality within your church. And if that wasn't your point, why did you even bring it up?
