Someone needs some help with their arguments...
The author of this article (a Christian woman's rant about what's wrong with feminism) would do well to read this page (an index of logical fallacies), particularly this fallacy, this fallacy, this one, and indeed most of the rest of the index.
Any argument that uses the Christian Bible as its primary resource is appealing to an unsupported authority. Faith does not equal science, people.
Now, I don't claim to be an expert on logic; I tend to act on instinct first, and then follow up with the logic. But we have no physical proof that the Bible isn't just some work of fiction or, more likely, allegory written by random people. And I know at least enough not to base my arguments on a book of fiction.
