We ought to have a "Fundies Don't Read Their Fucking Bibles!" site just for shit like this.
Every wannabe "lord of the house" knows Ephesians 5:22, "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord." yet none of them seem to have read the verse just one line above it, Ephesians 5:21, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
Who hasn't heard "For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:23-24)? Yet the very same people who spout that crap seem to forget what comes straight after it, "Husbands, love your wives [...] husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself."
But hey, aren't wives the property of their husbands in the bible? Not according to 1 Corinthians 7:4, "The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife."
So, no, the bible doesn't give men cart blanch to beat on their wives, and, no, the wives do not have "just take it". Oh, and guess what, if the asshole keeps on doing it? Well I guess he isn't a "true Christian" then, ignoring the bible like that and all, and you know what the bible says about that don't we? In 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
Divorce the douche, and take him for every plugged nickel!
