>I think I am either not being clear enough or people just cannot get past their pre-conceived notions.

I can't get past this Bible Verse:

1 Timothy 2:12-15
"...suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithsstanding she shall be saved in childbearing."

>Christianity does not, never has, and simply would NOT teach, condone, encourage, or in any other way support the mistreatment, abuse, belittling, suppressing, dehumanizing or any other form of mistreatment against women.

Leviticus 20:16
"And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast."

>They also do them in the name of Islam, Communism, and a whole host of other 'isms'.

"Whats that over there!"
