Jimmy Carter: ‘When They See That Pope…Say Women Can’t Serve As Priests…’

“The existing abuse of females is the worst and most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on earth,” says former President Jimmy Carter, who is making the rounds of various news shows to promote his new book, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.

Carter—repeating something he’s stated previously—said the abuse is “indirectly” derived “from the fact that religious leaders say that women are inferior in the eyes of God, which is a false interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. But when they see that the pope, and the Southern Baptist Convention and others say that women can’t serve as priests and so forth equally with men, they say, ‘Well, and I’ll treat my wife the way I want to because she’s inferior to me.’” …

Yes, he’s at it again. Is it a contest between him and Obama to see who can be more overtly evil? (Funny how he refers to women as “females”, which dehumanizes them, too. Anything to say about Islam in that book?)

The man is incorrigible. He has no idea how much he does not know: the enduring hallmark of incompetence.

Just ‘cause Jimmy doesn’t understand this concept doesn’t mean the church should change.

Not allowing female priests is way way way way worserlier than stoning, clitorectomies, not allowing them to drive, having their testimony count less than a man, punishing them for being raped, allowing 60 year olds to marry 9 year olds, need I go on?

I'm still trying to understand why peanut brain thinks his opinions, let alone he are even pertinent. There is only one religion I know of that will force you join and that's the religion of the syphilitic pedophile mutthomed. If people aren't happy with a religion than they should find one whose tenets they can live with rather than bitching, moaning and demanding the religion change to suit them. But the bottom line is jimmahs a moron.

And whatever you do Jimmy, don’t mention anything about the Islamic elephant in the room and the way females are treated in that death cult.

Gutless coward.

He left the Southern Baptist Church because it wasn’t liberal enough. One of the issues he was upset about was the prohibition against the ordination of women.

Demonstrably false. The persecution and mass murder of Christians is the worst and most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on earth. Not that Jimmah would give a damn about that.

Exactly. He’s seems to have forgotten that it was under his administration when Iran got the Ayatollah.
