@bilo @roamer_1 Bilo, you said: "I will assume that you are not an Evangelical Christian, or Catholic, based on your post."

No, Bilo, I belong to a Catholic church and have taught a Bible class there; we stopped about the time the virus hit. I have taught Bible classes in Missionary Baptist Churches, Baptist Churches, a good part of my adult life. I was the pianist at three Baptist churches.
Some want "others" to act a certain way. That is the point;
you may do what
you want; interpret the Bible the way
you want. You can only decide for
yourself, not others.
Women own their bodies. Men ruled women as their "property" (I say men owned women as their furniture - would change their furniture when they wanted a different looking piece of furniture.) Men were stronger than women, so men "ruled". This changed when Jesus Christ came and honored women.
Back to present day individuals:
Remember, individuals make individual decisions that affect no one but the individual self. These "individual" choices do not involve other people as the choice would not be "individual" if others are involved.
A subject we cannot discuss on this forum: I think we are in the end times and have reasons for that. Maybe I will see you and friend roamer in the near future. Want coffee? Okay,
@Cyber Liberty, will have the coffee, and beer.
