Because you don't see the humor in a humorous email?

Every point is a mocking inversion of an argument against female pastors, all of which the author obviously regards as risibly weak. That particular point was a direct attack on Scripture.

As I said then, if you think Scripture uses laughable arguments, open apostasy is just more honest than going on and doing Church of any kind -- which would still mean no women pastors.

(Just so I'm clear, let me clarify that I emphatically do believe that women should be priests, since I believe in the priesthood of the believer. The issue is positions of authority within the Household of Faith, which some would call the priesthood but I would call elderhood.)

You said:
"If that's how much you care what Scripture says, simple honesty demands leaving Christianity altogether."

I said and asked:
"This is an odd statement. Care to explain what you mean?"

You didn't answer this question. Not sure what questions you were answering, but I don't think they were any of mine.
