Exactly. In keeping with my other comments, that's why some early christian sects actually viewed Eve as a hero in the story, because she freed them from ignorance... You know, back when christianity was driven by women and wasn't just roman ideology wearing a Jesus skin mask.
Can you suggest any reading (like long form articles or something) about the women-led xtianity traditions?
I’ve never heard anything about that, and I’d like to know more.
You can find these collections in the Apocrypha. It’s a collection of all the weird side-stories that could have become biblical cannon but were scrapped for various reasons.
Cool thanks! I’ll take a look!
I wish i had something off the top of my head but I'm mostly basing this off what i remember from uni lectures.
That being said if you look up early Christianity you'll see that women filled the roles of priests and were often responsible for spreading and maintaining the faith before its roman adoption. You can even even see this in the bible where the earliest chronological chapters are extremely sympathetic to women, then become less and less so as time goes on.
I'll see if i can find a specific reference for you later today.
that motherfucker paul turned the christ cult all incelly
No worries, I appreciate it anyway :)
I wasn’t raised with any sort of religion, so I don’t know much about any of it (and definitely haven’t read the Bible.. tho I tried once and was bored out of my skull), but I feel like if I’d learned about that I’d remember it :p
