1 Some weeks ago, gunmen entered a Church in Owo, Nigeria, and poured bullets into the bodies of worshippers, turning what was supposed to be a glorious service into a gory service.
Thanks for this. Summarises my reasoning. I'm actually more angry about the origin story and the sin of eve, its one of the pillars of misogyny that continues to fuel hatred for women. And the constant need to suppress women. "Women are evil, they need to be subjugated", or "they are weak minded, they need to be handled with firm hands" or "they are devil's temptation, cover them up and make them pay for the sins of eve". I have outgrown my religious burdens and I am unapologetic about it. Thanks again Juwon.

Thanks for reading and your comment. I'm glad that you're unapologetic about your new found freedom.
And yes, that teaching about Eve:s fall is foundational to deeply rooted misogyny perpetuated through religion.
