Please note that I am in no way sticking up for anything that Ms. Steinam(sp?) has done, said, or written. Frankly, I'm not that familiar with her history other than hearsay and that she was fond of burning bras in the 60's.

The reason I posted what I did in the tone that I did is because you seem to be a little bitter. Perhaps a lot. Perhaps not without reason. But you're justifying your posts in the same way you were ranting about others doing up-thread, I.e., giving feminists any reason for what they do. I've known lots of folks who are gay or lesbian or feminists--pick an extreme--and most of them were ostracized by some one who was close to them for their beliefs. I am a Christian and my mother barely speaks to me because of it. About all I can do is try to lovingly explain to her again (and again, ad nauseaum) why. Should I go beat the crap out of the preachers that have hurt her in the past? 'Course not.

In short I am deeply sorry to hear about your sister but rarely is there a story of pain with one side. I knew a gay man whose father--a minister--had completely turned his back on him. There were no open doors. There was no hope for reconciliation. He had simply ceased to exist. Whose fault? Who knows, but his Dad was not without guilt.

I'm not saying I expect you to take Ms. Steinam aside and graciously share the gospel with her, but something motivates women to join this sort of movement. Is it their degenerate nature? Probably as its the source of all the trouble we seem to make up for ourselves. What about all the good churchwomen that subscribe to the same notions or variations of the theme? Is their stance on Womens rights and their NOW membership going to send them to hell? These are not questions I can answer.

That said, yeah ol' Gloria probably could benefit from getting dragged outside the city gate and enjoying a good stoning but thats illegal and prayer works better anyway.
