A Weblog Dedicated to the Discussion of the Christian Faith and 21st Century Life
A Weblog Dedicated to the Discussion of the Christian Faith and 21st Century Life ___ I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
I guess my reaction is "What difference will it make?" I'm insufficiently knowledgeable about Iran's interactions with the UN to actually have a view. I doubt they will influence UN policy. Perhaps - although I doubt it - it might make someone, somewhere in Iran think of women as more human.
By the way, when I was in my teens and twenties, the arguments about women leading innocent men into seduction were still freely expressed. If we think it's outrageous to absolve men of responsibility for their sexual behavior, excellent. But let's remember that we too were in the same place not all that very long ago.
