I just read your testimony there, JST (do you prefer JWB? Yeah, I saw that discussion, too!)
I am just stunned. Really stunned. What a powerful witness to the way God changes lives! They will mock it but it will make a few of them think harder.
I need to write about this topic here. One of the things that strikes me as preposterous is the atheistic belief that OT women should have been treated like twentieth century feminists. There is that belief, yet again, that God should jerk our strings constantly, making sure that everyone thinks and acts like an Obama Democrat. There is that utter failure to understand that a late Bronze Age tribe is not going to be overflowing with metrosexuals and whipped men who weren't allowed to play with toy guns as children. The utter lack of anything like historical understanding staggers me. It really does.
