I'll bold your points just to make it clear what I'm responding to.

- If they're supposed to stay at home, why do they bother to go to college? I concur that it often isn't the best economic decision for women to go to college. However, there are plenty of valid, non-financially-optimized reasons a woman might still want to. She may place intrinsic value on learning about an interesting subject, use it as a way to meet a partner, or she may desire to work for a short period before motherhood. As men we are called to love and provide for our wives, and I would have no issue paying for her education if she desired to receive one.

- Why does a woman HAVE to pick one or the other Because the Bible says women are saved through motherhood and must be subordinate to husbands. If you are a part of any of the mainline Christian denominations, and view the Bible as the inspired word of God, then it is God who is ordering that. We have no right to overturn God's words.

- I would argue that it fits what you already think to be true. Again, I quoted a world-renowned liberal Atheist scholar. It is my view because it is what it says. There is no other subject which we pretend is untranslatable besides the difficult passages of the Bible. You yourself quoted Gal. 3:28. How were you able to know what it truly meant if you think 1 Cor. 11 is undecipherable? Those passages are by the same author.

- You have your beliefs. I have mine. This is obviously fair and well, but neither of us get to reinvent St. Paul's or St. Peter's beliefs. They wrote down what they believed and we have a scholarly duty to accurately reflect their opinions. When Atheists, Protestants, and Catholics all agree on how to translate and interpret a known language for 2000 years, there is no excuse to not adopt the position, unless you choose to not follow the Bible.
