A '''RINO''' ('''R'''epublican '''i'''n '''N'''ame '''O'''nly), also known as a '''Reform Democrat''', is a disparaging term used by immoderate [[Republican Party|Republicans]], opposition [[Democratic Party|Democrats]], or the [[liberal media]] to characterize an officeholder or candidate who is a member of the [[Republican Party]] but comes from a constituancy which votes Republican but may hold views outside the mainstream Republican Party. RINO's and Reform Democrats typically come from [[New England]] states where corrupt Democrat political machines do not allow dissent and opposition so reformers have difficulty gaining ballot access. A similar term is '''cafeteria conservative''', for a person who picks and chooses which [[conservative]] principles to believe, as a person might choose foods in a cafeteria.<ref>[http://www.manp.org/association-spotlight/archives/james-carville-mary-matalin-he-said-she-said James Carville & Mary Matalin: He Said, She Said]</ref>

Conservatives are urged to vote for their favorite RINO. Winners will get a "beautiful [[gold]] [[rhinoceros]], adding a special touch to their plush homes or offices." <ref>http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200708/POL20070814c.html</ref>

I'm not going into the Biblical issues here; that's for more scholarly folk than myself. However: "''Also not explicitly stated in the Bible, it is obvious that,''" does that work? At what level of opinion and/or writer's logic does CP draw the line? [[User:Aziraphale|Aziraphale]] 03:25, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

:: NO, this does not work. The logic in that is completely flawed.
::Also, if Eve was created from Adam's rib, wouldn't she be his sister? They are of the same flesh and blood...
::-- [[user:Orly|Orly]] 10:24 14 March 2007 (CET)
:::I agree that it doesn't work. People who talk about the "will of God" should be prepared to back it up, chapter and verse, with the Word of God. [[User:DavidE|DavidE]] 09:35, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

If god does not approve of menstruation, why did "he" design women that way?

-- [[user:Orly|Orly]] 15:42 14 March 2007 (CET)

* God not only approves of menstruation, he specifically designed that process to prepare the womb for another cycle of readiness for conception. But there was an ancient obsession with blood combined with the fact that the men in charge of writing scripture found it to be, uh, yucky. And it's not exactly a load of fun. As Tammy Wynette said, "Sometimes its hard to be a woman..." But there are compensations ;-) [[User:Teresita|Teresita]] 03:54, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
::Be careful saying "man writes scripture" and suggesting that human biases areinterjected into biblical writings, because there is a VAST majority here who take the bible LITERALLY and as directly from God Himself. They might not be too pleased lol...[[User:Jros83|Jros83]] 03:06, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

I thought of taking it out to. But those verses are in the bible still... I thought it better to explain their role than to refuse to acknowledge them just for their inconvenience.

:Free advice for you to use, or not, as yous see fit: the reason religious debates are never resolved is simple (imo): people are trying to understand why a possibly omnipotent / omniscient being does what it does. We have no frame of reference for this, so we're stuck making all kinds of assumptions. Simple answer to any "why" question is, unfortunately, "why not?" Or "because." Or "it will all make sense 1,000 years from now, we simply lack perspective." Which doesn't mean those arguments are right, but what are you going to do?

:My advice: read, study, pray if you like. But you probably won't get an answer you like, and (conversely) you not getting an answer you like doesn't prove anything.

This is really a terrible article! Some facts maybe? /What

Never mind: asked and answered on [[User_talk:TimSvendsen | TimSvendsen's]] page [[User:Sedge|Sedge]] 23:16, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Rename 'women in the bible' as that seems to be the only section?

What a sexist article! Someone really needs to fix it up. --[[User:Ian911299|Ian911299]] 15:56, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm sorry but I do find it rather silly that the only sources cited on an article about one entire half of the human population are from the Bible.... Is this the Middle Ages?[[User:Jros83|Jros83]] 03:09, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

== category question ==

Um... Wikipedia articles needing context? Say what now? [[User:Aziraphale|Aziraphale]] 02:24, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

*Sooooo weird! I looked (as I am sure you did) for that stupid template...couldn't find it, and it vanished when I added the stub. --[[User:TK|şŷŝôρ-₮K]][[User_Talk:TK|Ṣρёаќǃ]] 04:48, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

:Well actually, I didn't look that hard. ;) For all I knew somebody was creating a category for articles that provide balance/rebuttal to the WP version of the same thing... or something. I started by asking, since it seems a lot of people get burned for stepping on admin toes. Believe it or not, I don't actually go OUT of my way to do so heheheheh.

==out of context==

"women shall not speak in church" Paul's letter to the Corinthians 14:34
People often misquote, or take bible verses out of context. This is a perfect example of just that. The Pauline letters were actual letters that were sent to the early congregations addressing individual concerns and issues. In Corinth, the women were particularly talkative. Paul just wanted them to shut up, to use a bible verse like this is truly a mark against your faith. It shows how little you understand the bible, AND, it speaks volumes for the way that you veiw women.
:Do you have any evidence for that assertion? I Timothy 2:11-15 explains why women are to learn in silence, and it has nothing to do with particularly talkative women in one church:
<blockquote>Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.</blockquote>

==Women in history==

Women have made outstanding contributions to history and have done so for thousands of years. To say they haven't and include a small exclusive list is degrading. This webiste boasts the truth and yet is unbelieviably biased.
