Judging a religion or for that matter any group by what they say or by what they hold as a doctrine while 'disregarding' what they actually do in practice will give you a distorted view of them.

I'm not sure of which 'church' you are speaking about but I know of no non-fundamentalist Protestant denominations that suppress women. In fact some of the fundamentalist types would call these denominations 'too liberal'. So you cannot make that generalization. I do not know any women who attend church or profess to have faith in God who claim to be suppressed. Quite the opposite, many are leaders and teachers.

Well Skybird I am a Christian but under the current definition of 'fundamentalist' I would fail completely. Not sure what a "Churchian" is. Is this a new sect?
Yes, I guess we all have lots to learn about each other.
