Salma Hayek Is A Feminist Of Biblical Proportions
Salma Hayek may have been born and raised a good Catholic like most of her fellow Mexicans, but that doesn’t mean she’s a big fan of the book her religion was founded on in the first place—the Bible.
In an interview which appears in the May issue of Marie Claire, the actress, who’s pregnant with her and fiancée François-Henri Pinault’s first child, said she has problems dealing with the way the Bible portrays women. She said she still believes in God and Jesus Christ though.
“I don’t like the way the Bible views women - this thing about the Virgin Mary conceiving a child without having sex - so if you conceive a child by having sex, there’s a subliminal message that there’s something dirty about it.
“And this is what makes us divine - I mean, the possibility of creating another life should remind women that we are creators, that we are made like God in our ability.” [Source]
Great. Now she compares all women to God. Not that I wouldn’t worship and offer human sacrifices at Salma’s altar, but it looks like someone has been reading a little too much Dan Brown lately. You know, the “sacred feminine” theory and all that. She should stick to her day job and leave the theology discourses to the theologians.

Hahaha your damn right! leave the theology to people who actually read the Bible. We’ll like her as long as she stops trying to think cause she sucks at it.

Just because you were introduced to the conception of the sacred feminine by Dan Brown, do not assume he is the first to recognize the sacred feminine within the context of anything in culture. The systematic silencing of women has been at work in constructed christianity, which has served more of a political purpose than spiritual, for over 1,500 years. So, to say someone has been reading too much Dan Brown displays how ignorant of these concepts you actually are and the innumerable feminist works that have tackled these issues since the 70’s. Do some substantial research instead of clinging to christian paradigm and bias.
