Jimmy Carter é um grande senhor, e é género de cristão que não me coloca qualquer problema de convivência intelectual. Aqui em em The words of God do not justify cruelty to women | Jimmy Carter | Comment is free |The Observer, ele pronuncia-se sobre a incorrecção, do seu ponto de vista como cristão, de invocar os Livros Santos: a Biblia, o Alcorão, ..., para justificar a discriminação do género.
Merece ser lido. Um excerto para incentivar a sua leitura:
"II have been a practising Christian all my life and a deacon and Bible teacher for many years. My faith is a source of strength and comfort to me, as religious beliefs are to hundreds of millions of people around the world.
So my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when th e convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service. This was in conflict with my belief - confirmed in the holy scriptures - that we are all equal in the eyes of God."
