> Christianity involves all planes of man's existence simultaneously.

Does this mean Christianity doesn't have anything to do with the planes of
my existence (since I'm not a man)?  Or does it mean that Christianity
considers the male to be the norm and I'm part of the deviation from that
norm?

Does "Christianity" care that women are made to feel that they are not
significant in God's view when the term "man" can be used to mean either
"human" or "male" according to the whim of the author and/or reader?

Do Christians care that women are hurting because of sexist language?  If
they are so lacking in compassion for the pain and anguish caused by a
sexist society (including sexist language), can anyone believe that their
"Christ" is compassionate?  Or is "healing the wounded" restricted to
males?  Or to only certain kinds of wounds?  Maybe that's it...maybe it
is just "spiritual" pain they care about.
