This really is repellent, ugly stuff - even by the standards of this forum. I expected a thread about Obama's campaign and found this rubbish. Weird.

He was just saying that the way people lived during Jesus's time is what Christians believe in today. The subjugation of women by Muslims is happening today but it does not exist in normal Christian homes.

Also, reading the Bible and taking it literally is totally wrong. Maybe someone who loves to do this should look up the definition of 'Parable'.
