I despise religion from the depth of my heart. And this bucket of shit doesn’t make it less. These dumb backwards savages of yesteryear are so afraid of women, it would even be funny if it weren’t so horribly sad. I will never understand the appeal of having (sex-)slaves. You can only ever sleep with one eye open, never talk honest opinions eye2eye and never trust a word they say. So what’s the point? Someone for fucking, cooking and cleaning?
