I don't imply that, nor does the book. From what I read though, there was a
"Fahrenheit 451"
as far as women's input to religion when the scriptures were put into print
instead of being taught in the oral tradition. Small print stimulates the
left (male dominate) brain through the rod cells of the eye. Glyphs,
pictures (mental or physical, and icons, stimulate the feminine aspects of
the brain. Why do women play such a minor role in today's scripted
religions?
If Carley can make it to CEO, surely a woman could deliver Communion.
Laugh all you want until you read it.
I asked a friend once why women couldn't be priests in his religion. He
pointed to scripture that said something to the effect that you had to be a
man with one wife. So then I said that meant then that priests had to be
married, and he said, "No, not at all." He was using scripture to defend
one example when it denied another.

Do you imply that when women take complete
control over the world that "Fahrenheit 451"
will be at our doorstep?
