Throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testement are passages that demean women and degrade their worth. The Bible equates a woman to cattle and other property man may own. Women are "taken" into marriage, regardless if they want to be married or not, and are often bartered for or sold outright. 1 Samuel 18:27 shows David buying a bride for 200 foreskins. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 says women may not usurp man and that they may be saved through child bearing. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 forbids women to speak in church. They are to ask questions of their husbands at home if they don't understand something. Romans 1:27 talks about homosexuality as men "leaving the natural use of a woman." So basically, the Bible says women are only good for pleasuring their husbands, having children, and indentured servitude. In fact, there are practically no mention of female births into families at all after Genesis, only male births. So why would you be a part of a religion that does not value you?
