Biblical God curses all women
The women have been belittled, humiliated and denigrated by the following verse of the Holy Bible, in which Biblical God has cursed all women that He will multiply their sorrow and they will endure pain of child-birth and that their husbands shall rule over them because of their no fault but that of their first grandmother Eve ea
ting the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Will any educated woman believe in and approve of being ruled by her husband as declared by Biblical God in Bible ? Here is the relevant verse :
43. “16. Unto the woman he (God) said, 1 will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
- Genesis, 3/16
That is why in nineteenth century some Christian priests opposed the use of anesthetics at the time of child-birth on the plea that it would amount to the transgression of the so called divine will under which woman must endure pain of child-birth. It was only when Queen Victoria had anestheties at the time of her child-birth, that it was allowed to be used commonly. In this connection Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1950, writes :
“One occasion for the logical intervention to prevent the mitigation of human suffering was the discovery of anaesthetics. Simpson in 1847 recommended their use in child birth, and was immediately reminded by the clergy that God said to Eve (Bible, Genesis, III: 16) : ‘In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children.’”
- Bertrand Russell
Christian priests condemn birth control. In their opinion, women are machines to produce more and more children to increase the population of their co-religionists. Bertrand Russell states :
“Most of clergymen condemn birth control None of them condemns the brutality of a husband who causes his wife to die of too frequent pregnancies. I knew a fashionable clergyman whose wife had nine children in nine years. The doctors told him that if she had another she would die. Next year she had another and died. No one condemned,. he retained his benefice and married again.”
