Your Opinion: Does the Bible hate women?

Dear Editor:

I call your attention to a Feb. 14 Huffington Post article by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. titled "Does the Bible Hate Women?" (http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/02/14/does-the-bible-hate-women/). Quotes from the article: "The piece was exploring a book called Bible Women: All Their Words and Why They Matter, which was published in September 2014 by Rev. Lindsay Hardin Freeman, a female episcopal priest." "Rev. Freeman set out to count all the words spoken by women in the Bible in an attempt to discern what their contribution was to God's Word." "The HuffPost article, however, took a more tendentious approach, skewing the statistics to make the Bible appear misogynistic. The piece said that the 93 women who speak in the Bible uttered a total of only 14,056 words collectively, "roughly 1.1 percent of the total words in the holy book."

The article photo seems to show a Muslim woman reading the Bible. I'm sure the Muslims are celebrating this criticism of the Bible by the various feminists involved in these books and articles. I would think American women would be more concerned about honor killings, stoning of women and genital mutilation tolerated by some Muslims than counting words in the Bible. What's the goal of these feminist women? Is it to add words to the Bible by women to equal those spoken by men? Or maybe is it to eliminate words spoken by men to equal the 14, 056 spoken by women. Whatever the goal is, I feel the most important thing to these feminist women is to make sure they discredit Christianity as they see it as the major obstacle keeping them from the total elimination of any male influence and/or respectability in our culture.

I am beginning to wonder if one can still consider the Episcopal Church a Christian organization. I say this because they were the first to ordain a gay bishop, the first to allow Muslims to use their (National Cathedral) sanctuary for Muslim prayers and now to apparently condone one of their priests to disparage God's Word by attempting to, for some reason, discredit its content.
