Women are capable of love but there’s a reason St. Paul tells wives to “fear” their husbands. Because women are just much more like children in their moral reasoning and in their emotional “resilience” (or capacity for cruelty). So for a woman to love a husband is much like a child’s love for his parents. It is a love that is requires her to be in a dependent position. This is why marriage in a feminist society of independent and irreligious (I don’t mean women without superstition, but women without fear of moral judgment) women, cannot work.

You are projecting your weak will onto women. Then again, this is par for the course for Christians. The reason your marriages (and other relationships, but that's another topic) always fall apart is due to your arrogance, believing you can never do wrong and if there's conflict, that the other party is always at fault. Again, par for the course.
Considering you're the one who values mythology more than reality and is incapable of treating people like individuals instead of stereotypes, you're the most like a child here. And considering my twelve year old brother has better empathy and reasoning capabilities than you, I'd say that you're worst than most children.

No, Republicans hate women because they continually support and pass policies that do nothing but harm women. Joe and his ilk, for all their idiocy and cruelty, can usually only inflict themselves on people at a personal level, not at a societal level, so Republicans are even worse.
"This is why marriage in a feminist society of independent and irreligious (I don’t mean women without superstition, but women without fear of moral judgment) women, cannot work."
Actually the reverse is true. Atheists tend to divorce less, have less abuse within a marriage and their teenage offspring less likely to fall pregnant. And you can see why. What sane person would want a partner who is not their equal? If you want a companion that is totally dependent upon you, get a dog.
I'd say Sweden is one of those feminist societies Joe is talking about. Funnily enough, marriage seems to work about as fine here as it does Over There. According to one statistic page , we were number one and the US were number two, both with 54 percent. But perhaps the US is also a feminist society of irreligious women...
How do you know how a woman loves a husband, Joe? Were you a woman in a previous life, or what?
Fundies are capable of love (for each other) but there’s a reason fundie preachers tell their congregations to “fear” everyone else. Because fundies are just much more like children in their moral reasoning and in their emotional “resilience” (or capacity for cruelty). So for a fundie to love a non-fundie is something rarely seen. It is a love that is requires them to be in a superior position (or rather, think they are). This is why fundies in a rational society of independent people, both irreligious and religious (I mean theists without the insanity of fundies, but not fundies with fear of moral judgment instead of just doing good for goodness's sake). Fundies cannot think on their own.
"Because women are just much more like children in their moral reasoning women are just much more like children in their moral reasoning and in their emotional “resilience” (or capacity for cruelty)."
Ha! So a greater capacity for cruelty is a good thing? Only if one is an a**hole.
P.S. taking advice from Paul, the admitted liar and jacka** misogynist, is bound to be a mistake.
Very revealing, but at the same time, hiding the real issue: What he's really saying is that you should be able to beat your wife, and that men should have economic control over women.
So basically you want to treat women like a second-class lifeform and now you're raging against the machine because society has realized that that kind of behavior is fucking stupid.
So for a woman to love a husband is much like a child’s love for his parents.
See here's the thing, real adults don't want to be in love with a child, they want to be in love with an adult. This is probably the creepiest thing I ever read and I'm just going to assume, among other things, that you come from one of the retard states and this the result of their incredibly lax laws on how to inform people you're a registered sex offender.
Ah, so you not only don't love your wife as a person in her own right; you also stopped loving your parents when you no longer needed to depend on them.
Kinda makes you a self-centered jerk, doesn't it?
"So for a woman to love a husband is much like a child’s love for his parents."
So I take it that you endorse pedophilia, so long as it stays inside the family?
But, seriously, this is a philosophy that was outdated in Europe before Christianity even existed.
"Because women are just much more like children in their moral reasoning and in their emotional “resilience” (or capacity for cruelty)."
Mentally and emotionally children, gotcha.
"So for a woman to love a husband is much like a child’s love for his parents."
It also means that for a man to love his wife is much like a man loves his children... but since you have sex with your wife, that means you love your children in a sexual way.
Go get some help now!
So....because the only way you can get a woman to stay with you is to exert control over her and make her fear for her safety unless he stays and appeases you, you think you've gotten her to "love" you, unlike the other ones, whom you've allowed to get away. Is that about right?
"This is why marriage in a feminist society of independent and irreligious (I don’t mean women without superstition, but women without fear of moral judgment) women, cannot work."
And yet, for millions of couples, it does. What can this possibly mean? That you're spouting bullshit? Seems the most likely answer.
I'm guessing you don't know too many women, Joe.
My wife and daughter would have a word or two to share about their "moral reasoning".
As to that, in my experience, the moral seasoning of people like you is deplorable.
@efw:
Calm down. Some people comment for catharsis... and most of the comments here are fairly mature, anyway. Feel free to direct your vitriol at specific commenters, instead of the FSTDT community in general.
I get this from a gender that can't find its own socks without female assistance?
So your ideal woman is a child, Joe? Well then, that makes you a pedophile, and I'm not going to sit here and be lectured on morality by a pedophile!
Also, my irreligious marriage to a man who treats me like an equal has worked for 20 years and counting, so you fail on all counts.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
