Munchkin, I never understood this reasoning. However, people used biblical passages to justify the enslavement of Africans, and to justify why women shouldn't be preachers/ministers. There are more than a few denominations who have completely rescinded their previous positions on these issues, and I think it's just a matter of time before this last domino falls.
Hypocrisy is a tricky thing -- it's hard to see when you're looking from the inside out.
I suppose this would be a bad time to mention that my partner (
) and I were married by a lesbian feminist buddhist minister. Heh.
