Try this: "You don't understand Feminism, <name here>. One of the
reasons may be that you listen to the reams and volumes of patriarchal
diatribes about what Feminism is, without consulting with feminists
first."
I'm sure you seen stuff like that many times. Does it please you
to know that you are just like the worst of feminists?

Since Christianity is a spin-off from Judaism and the bible for each
religion has a lot of the same books, I'm sure you are talking crap.
Judaism+Christ = Christianity. Judaism+Christ+Mohammed = Islam.
Mind you, after seeing dozens of posts from you, I just assume you
are talking crap because that's the norm for you. You ignore
facts. You state things that are provably untrue. Whatever
intelligence you possess has been completely over-ruled by
your prejudices.
As for Christianity being science...where are the experiments
yielding reproducible results? Where is the rigorous methodical
challenge to the theory by those who believe it to be correct?
How can you reconcile faith with science, as the two are diametrically
opposed? How do you reconcile the irrational prejudices of people like
yourself with science, which cannot be irrational? Where is the
evidence for *any* of the key tenets of Christianity, let alone the
multitude of totalitarian demands stuck on top and claimed to be
essential by appeal to authority (a classic logical fallacy - so much for
being scientific)?
In short, where is any indication that Christianity is a form of science
according to the current (not 14th century) meaning of "science"?
A self-referencing and self-justifying system of "knowledge" is not
science.
