Quote of the Day

The irony of course, is that while advocates of biblical patriarchy accuse everyone else of biblical selectivity, they themselves do not appear to be stoning adulterers, selling their daughters into slavery, taking multiple wives, or demanding that state laws be adjusted to include death sentences for rape victims...at least not yet.  Those who decry the evils of selective literalism tend to be rather clumsy at spotting it in themselves.

-- Rachel Held Evans, A Year of Biblical Womanhood, p. 52
