But I'm sure its an entertaining book.
During the days she was menstruating over the course of the year, the Tennessee-based writer, 31, a Christian who describes herself as 'liberated', stayed home from church, carried around a seat cushion to avoid sitting on chairs outside her home, abstained from sex and touching her husband, grew her hair out and slept in a tent.
while the story was interesting, the posts were very amusing, every heard of Pascal’s wager? its safer to believe and be wrong than to not to believe and be wrong.
She forgot the part about replacing the old law with the new.
If you’re going to claim to “follow the instructions”, then you have to pay attention when the instructions say, “Don’t do that anymore”.
big fascination about menstrating, very little about anything else, like cooking, sewing, etc...
During the year, she learned to “sew” and “cook.” Ooh, how demeaning.
It also gives ten commandments for both men and women to keep. Did Rachel Held Evans keep every one of those, too?
Also, I wonder if she included in her book any of the Bible's instructions on how men are to treat their wives...i.e., cherish them and love them as Christ loves the church. I'm guessing she didn't. Her book seems like an attempt to paint the Bible as anti-woman.
As an aside, I really don't get some females' fascination with the vagina, and the fairly recent tendency to revere it as some kind of sacred object.
I enjoy sewing and I have made everything from a suit for my husband to wedding dresses and prom dresses.
I am also a Christian who is on my third reading of the Bible. I can honestly say that I have yet to come across a scripture that commands women to make their own clothes!
I know the Proverbs 31 woman is mentioned as making clothing for her family but in those days it was a necessity, not a God given requirement.
That said, I’m headed to Amazon to purchase “Sew What Skirts” both for myself and to teach my granddaughters to sew!
Without actually reading the whole article, I presume that she did this, not as a religious act or experiment, but solely to announce what she had done, become famous, write a book, go on talk shows, and make money.
And, incidentally, to try to undermine religion.
Oh, shes so clever and sassy. How did she ever know that the homo media would spit all over themselves if she came up with the unique idea of trashing the Bible and saying vagina?
She gonna be on tee vee? American idol in her little Christian vagina tent out back because we all know Christians are doing that all the time? Oh! Oh! She says vagina! That’s new for the homo crowd! That’s so shocking and fabulous! Christians everywhere are going to “change” into sassy little tent beans now! She showed us! Wait a minute! I think this is a tired old rerun!
One can arrive at sexual morality via the school of hard knocks or just listen to what generations before them learned the hard way. They don’t even have to open the Bible to see that there is no society on earth that is organizing itself around homos because it is not a winning human survival strategy on a micro or macro level.
Homos can do their thing in America like everyone else. We are not going to put their butt pleasure at the center of our education, families, socialization, worship, and lives. How shocking is this?
what it should prove is how much more reasonable our fundamentalists are, given they don’t actually live this way. Juxtapose this to the way the kooky Islamic fundamentalists interpret how women in their culture should live.
She’s kind of cute. I could handle someone like that submitting to me 25 days a month.
