Since I'm on a roll with this sonning, let me continue.... let's look at some quotes from the many different versions of the Bible...
"If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her."
Exodus 21:7-8
"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."
Leviticus 21:9
"...and the birth of ANY daughter is a loss."
Ecclesiasticus 22:3
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a MALE child: then she shall be unclean SEVEN DAYS; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying THIRTY THREE days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a FEMALE child, then she shall be unclean TWO WEEKS, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying SIXTY SIX days.
Leviticus 12:2-5
"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."
Deuteronomy 22:28-30
"And in case men struggle together (in a fight) with one another, and the wife of the one has come near to deliver her husband out of the striking one (to save her husband), and she has thrust out her hand and grabbed hold of his private (the other man's groin), she must then get both her hands cut off, and the eyes of the men must feel no sorrow."
Deuteronomy 25:11-12
"Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die."
Ecclesiastes 25:22

My point is that I can also take lines out of context from a book that has a far deeper meaning to it than that, and make it seem like Christianity promotes the oppression of women. However, I don't really believe that because me being the intelligent, open-minded person that I am, I know that neither Christianity nor Islam promotes anything close to violence or oppression. It just depends on what context you take these lines out of and how you interpret them.

Yeah, different versions; correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there different ones such as the NIV Bible that most Trinitarians hold as true?
Yes, some might count for Jews too; as a matter of fact, there are lines which explain similar things in the Talmud. However, that wasn't even my point. I don't believe Judaism, Christianity, or Islam promotes anything like this. I was just trying to show Machiavelli that taking lines out of context from a religious book such as this, written over a thousand years ago, can have a totally different meaning from what the text is actually trying to explain.
