/rolleyes: Actually, I can give you several valid reasons that aren't sexism why a woman being pastor isn't the best idea./
*rolls eyes* I can't wait to hear them.
/A. I think that a lot of women are way too emotional. Being a pastor is a huge responsibility, and most women aren't really emotionally capable of handling it./
Yet according to you and other fundies, it is the woman's job to run the house and take care of the kids. Do you know how much responsibility THAT is? Do you think that taking care of your own children is any less emotionally and mentally taxing than holding liturgy at church? Please.
/B. Women can be mouthy. The pastor that we had at our church (the woman) was nothing but. She was just nasty to people. For example, a young couple in our church (that the woman despised) got pregnant out of marriage. The woman pastor told them if they didn't get married before the baby was born, if something happened to them, they would go to hell if they died. I don't know of a male pastor out there who would take personal feelings and use them to be that mean./
Oh, I get it. "One female pastor was mean, so that means that all female pastors are nasty!" And by the way, men can be just as nasty and can be just as emotionally manipulative. "I don't know of a male pastor out there who would take personal feelings and use them to be that mean," my foot. We have plenty of male fundies on this website who'd prove that theory wrong. What do you think priests did during the Middle Ages when peasant women got pregnant out of wedlock? Gave them a hug?
/C. I think that a lot of times, women can become power-hungry moreso than men. Obviously this leads to some bad situations for many churches./
Women can certainly be highly ambitious. But so can men. Obviously you've never studied the various popes of Europe and what many of them did in order to gain and maintain power. And they were all male.
