A lot more than they care to admit, but their shared misogynist views are right up there. I recalled seeing the first photo a long time ago, and of course we all had a good laugh, and lamented the fate of women in such a sexist, repressed society. It came to mind again during the recent birth control hearings, and I looked high and low to find it. Luckily, it looks like someone else was thinking along the same lines as I was and put both pictures together. I think it speaks volumes.

(12,017 posts)but that is one of those weird things about religion...MOST (no, not all) believe their belief IS the correct one and that the others are, tp at least some degree, wrong. that is why there are multiple religions in the first place.
if you didn't BELIEVE that then it wouldn't be a belief. If you believe others are also right, then you really have no religious belief at all.
