God's Intentions?

Can I just say that it is really hard for me to truly listen to those who inject their God or their holy book into certain conversations/discussions. Lately it seems that every time I go over to my parents' house someone (by someone, I mean sister, mother, grandfather or Bill) tries to engage me in political, social, or religious discussions.

For example, I was over visiting just a couple days ago and everyone started talking about the role of male and female in society. This comment was made and I quote "I just don't see the future of this country being as good as it once was because the role of men and women are moving away from the way God intended."

I really hope that by reading what I just quoted, you have a similar reaction that I had at the time. I only wish that I had responded sarcastically by saying this "I agree. I think women should still be treated as though they are property. That they are inferior to men. That their job is to be barefoot and pregnant, because that is the way God intended." I truly believe that each man and each woman are born different. We all have different abilities, likes and dislikes, and preferences. I know for a fact that my wife could never be a stay-at-home mother. If that was the case, would she be going against God's intentions?

The social aspects of our humanity are always changing (evolving). We, as individuals, ultimately decide the role we play in society. And that my friend is how God intended it to be.
