You know, I was raised a Christian, but I was (obviously) not a very good one, but I had never considered this interpretation. It actually makes a lot of sense. It's sad that so many religions relegate females to basically a "machine" for producing offspring.
How do you think society as a whole will change in regards to the acceptance of women as equal in the future? (Think 100+ years) What is the best path that we as a society can take to ensure this happens?
I used to not think indoctrination was real. That was until I looked at my sisters, she used to not be sure, but after going to church for three weeks. She now thinks Fox News is the truth, Global Warming doesn't exist, and anything against God is of the devil. And that was only in a few short weeks!
Sorry this post just made me remember how women were expected to be the house wife then I thought about how my sister has changed.

from what i learned about religions (by reading magic dogmas from Eliphas Levi) everything written in the bible are symbols and must not be taken literally, it belongs to occultism and some very rare people (secret societies, the elite and people initiated to occultism) really knows the meaning behind this.
The rest are just humans being manipulated by those religions that were created to control us.
And to give reasons to justify wars and all the violence of the world.
Because we are controlled, and world war 3 was already planned by the elite since the 18th century (as were WWI and WWII)
