First of all sex is an intimate part of a special relationship that's private and sacred and kept in faithfulness and love. Adultery is an attack against the holy and sacred bond of man and woman in marriage. Jesus says:




Now man can have more than one wife and here is why. It has to do with the nature of the woman. Woman was created for man, and is the glory of man..
Women and men are equal, and it's sexist bigots like yourself who are holding back women in this world. You should be ashamed of yourself. Women are not playthings for you and your penis. They are not subservient to you. They are not your property. Get that straight. They are human beings and they deserve just as much respect as you do.
And man was created for God, and is the glory of God..Now man is the master of a woman, but not in the sense that you would think of like a slave being abused. But rather as the leader and authority. Jesus's disciples called him master too.
Jesus is also called a shepherd, and Christians call themselves sheep in his flock. I find that extremely amusing. They don't get mad when I call them sheep. You are a sheep. The Lord is your shepherd. Baaah. Enjoy bowing down to an imaginary dictator of the universe that was thought up by barbaric rapists and not forming your own morality by thinking for yourself.
Now you really need to understand more about the nature of the woman. These verses can give us a better understanding:
No, those verses give us more bigoted barbaric nonsense. I frequently use them against Christians in debates, and usually they are profusely apologizing for the verses, insisting that they were written by followers of Christ who did not grasp his whole message. Women are not subservient to men, you sexist asshole! Get that through your thick fucking skull. Just because you have a penis and testicles doesn't make you better than the half of the human population that has vaginas, nor does it entitle you to more authority or respect.

It really makes me furious that this kind of woman hating nonsense survives into the 21st century. What about this verse, which say almost the exact same thing about slaves?

Ephesians 6:5
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.
The Bible is urging slaves to be subservient to their masters, as they are subservient unto Christ. Are you now going to say that slavery is okay too, just because the Bible says so?

I really hope you come to your senses, drop this mythological nonsense, and learn to realize that your gender, your race, your nationality, your sexual orientation, nothing about the circumstances of your birth that you had no choice in, makes you superior to others who happened to be born differently. Men, women, hermaphrodites, whites, blacks, gays, straights, bisexuals, transgenders, Americans, Chinese, Russians, we're all human and we're all equal and we deserve to be treated with equal respect and equal rights.

By the way, where do hermaphrodites fit into your scheme of morality? Surely God must be making them for a reason, but he didn't spell out one for them in the Bible. Are hermaphrodites slaves to men like women are, or are women slaves to them because they have magical phalluses of authority like men?
