1) According to early Christian theologians and texts, Eve was blamed for original sin and seen as the reason for humanity's exile from paradise and Jesus' crucifixion. 2) Several influential early Christian figures such as St. John Damascene, St. Cyprian, St. Anthony, and St. Gregory viewed women very negatively, as daughters of falsehood, instruments of the devil, and sources of evil. 3) St. Thomas Aquinas considered women defective and the result of a defect in nature, and many religious texts and traditions portrayed women as inferior to men.

1. www.knowmuhammad.org Denigrating Women In Christianity By Mr.MagdyAbdalshafy

2. Woman in Christianity has always been the culprit that is to blame for the human miseries. She was never treated as a true human being. She was degraded for a crime she never committed. In the Holy Book many stories were modified to serve a certain goal, among these is the story of Adam and Eve. The true story of Adam and Eve is modified so that woman alone stands as the basic reason of sending Adam (the symbol of man) out of the Paradise. www.knowmuhammad.org

3. How do the early theologians see women? According to the early theologian the woman is the source of evil, please read the following opinions: www.knowmuhammad.org

4. The early theologians considered Eve to be the reason of the crucifixion of Jesus, who (as they think) was sent to the earth to atone for the human sins especially the Original Sin. Surely all of these lies are against the teachings of God in the Holy Book. The story of Eve being the reason of Jesus crucifixion and expelling Adam from heaven made the theologian adopt antagonistic culture against woman; this led to treating woman as an element inferior to man. www.knowmuhammad.org

10. You are the Devil's gateway: You are the unsealer of the forbidden tree: You are the first deserter of the divine law: You are she who persuaded him whom the devil wasn't valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God's image, man." www.knowmuhammad.org

11. " Once again, St. Augustine wrote to a friend, "What is the difference whether it is in a wife or a mother, it is still Eve the temptress that we must beware of in any woman." www.knowmuhammad.org

12. Centuries later, St. Thomas Aquinas still considered women as defective, "As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; www.knowmuhammad.org

13. while the production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence." www.knowmuhammad.org
