Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo said Christianity is the only religion that treats women as equals – thoughts and prayers with his notifications
Another day, another Kevin Sorbo bad take.
The American actor known primarily for having the title role in the Hercules TV series is a paid-up member of the MAGA Conspiracy Theory Club, having shared such nuggets of wisdom as –
Kamala Harris should use a racial slur to prove she’s black.
Debt cancellation is the same as abortion.
Anti-Covid mask rules are somehow stronger than ID rules for voting.
His latest piece of bigoted nonsense saw him take a pop at other religions, while clearly having not much of a clue about his own.
There were quite a few issues with that, and people wasted no time telling him about them, and just generally mocking him.

That would explain all those female Popes

I genuinely don’t think religious men are capable of grasping what it’s like to be on the other side of the aisle… like at all https://t.co/uKlMTMjvL6

"Women, be subject to your husbands as to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:22). You can believe whatever you want but that's not very equal.

Women are equal in the Bible, as long as they don’t speak and obey the man who currently has ownership of them. Kevin Sorbo hasn’t read a Bible in his life. https://t.co/t3V7Aw16w8

Dan McClellan, author and scholar of religion and the Bible, came armed with actual knowledge to counteract whatever Sorbo was bringing.
Christianity on the whole has never upheld women as true equals. Some minority streams of tradition have done this despite Christian tradition, but the majority of Christianity dogmatically suppresses the agency of women. Kevin's claim is profoundly misguided & ignorant. https://t.co/uQbFaDiWWZ
