re: #2 Simply Sarah

It turns out that his ideas of liberty, freedom, and dignity for women are just a tiny bit unusual.

You say that with irony, but you are absolutely on point. His (and likeminded folks’) view is that women are liberated by being subservient to men, and that non-Christians are liberated by accepting Jesus Christ. The fact that he is being 100% logical and internally consistent is what makes it scary. If he were a raving lunatic, I would not be as worried.
