Listen "The Bible as a Weapon: How Religion Has Controlled Women for Centuries"
Episode Synopsis
In this raw and unflinching episode, I take on a subject many find uncomfortable: religion—and more specifically, Christianity. With personal insight and historical context, I explore how the Bible has long been used as a tool of oppression, particularly against women. From Eve’s vilification in the Garden of Eden to modern-day restrictions on women’s bodies, voices, and rights, I trace the legacy of patriarchal control woven through scripture, culture, and politics. I ask hard questions: Why is female sexuality demonized? Why did the Equal Rights Amendment fail? Why do so many women vote against their own interests in the name of faith? And how has religion, cloaked in divine authority, been used to disempower, silence, and erase? This episode is not just a critique—it’s a call to reclaim autonomy, question inherited narratives, and imagine a spirituality rooted in sovereignty rather than submission. Whether you were raised inside high-control religion or are simply curious about the legacy of religious dogma, this is a conversation that challenges, heals, and invites awakening.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/charis-alura/donations
