Distorting Christianity

(via David Limbuagh)
Mr. Limbaugh identifies more media persecution in one of his latest blog entries. An article from Reuters lumps Islam and Christianity into the same bucket by saying that distortions of both religions lead to spousal abuse and "honor killings". Where do they get this stuff? I was raised in a Christian home and was taught only to respect and honor women - I want even address the "killing" accusation!
Magdlena Sroda says: It is a structure based on patriarchal domination of God the Father and the less important role of women can be seen for example in the letters of Saint Paul.
Here is a little of what Paul had to say about how to treat wives:
Ephesians 5:25 (New International Version) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
How can it be said this teaches abuse and "killing"?
