Allowing bronze age discriminating principles that reflect clearly bad morals are a sin not a virtue. These principles are also illegal in most civilized countries. Allowing special pleading for religions on issues we know are morally wrong, is a crime against humanity.
Dude. The bronze agers were a bit more advanced. Miriam was the high priestess, pictured here: https://miro.medium.com/v2/da:true/resize:fit:878/0*QTq2n4OGOSbo_F5q
Seated between the two temple pillars, Jachin (male principal, also mercy), and Boaz (feminine principal, severity. Yes I know Boaz was a male in the OT. Take it up with Rider and Waite).
So the Puritans were too hateful to get along with the British religious people, and centuries later, the Southern Baptists are too hateful to get along with Puritans descendants. And while Holiness churches are stricter, in some regards, women are leaders in the church, and also considered prophetesses, at least in my area.
Tl;dr Southern Baptist faith is less evolved than Bronze Age nomads.
I never claimed all Bronze age societies were equally immoral. But the Bible teaches that women must stay silent in assemblies, unless permitted to speak (by the men)
Generally:
1 Timothy 2:11-12 (NIV): "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."
But particularly in church:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35: "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. (referring to old testament law)
How do you know something is morally wrong?
cf. other primates noticing injustice
There are some near-universals.
How do you measure justice?
Other primates seem to have a similar sense of it, so check out some of those ethology studies for starting from very basic principles of commonality.
