Nathan,

Life is beautiful.  It's death that sucks.  The Bible is where I find the stories of Jesus.  In Him I find hope for a hopeless situation.  I take the bible as authority.  All I'm saying it isn't a book about equality.  I don't think the followers of Jesus ought to be striving for equality.  That isn't why He died - to make us all equal.  He died to save us - while we were yet enemies.

In the bible you have story after story about God choosing and envious people rebelling against God's choosing.  In a word, rebelling against inequality.  I assume you know the stories.

That's the only problem I addressed. I'm not okay with the problems sin creates. My prescription is; "first do no harm."

Here is my point - Striving for equality is not going to solve any problems, but it will create many.
