The Bible does not fit in with modern day social standards

First of all, I do understand that you may say that the bible wasn't meant to correspond with society, but society is meant to correspond with the bible. You are correct that not everybody is Christian. But the thing is, the Bible is rarely addressed to all societies. I mean the letter of Paul was addressed to Christians, the law for ancient Israel. They’re not usually addressed to say non-theists like atheists, secularist and such. So it doesn’t really impose much social standards on the people it’s not addressed to. Secondly, it is clear that the bible is extremely sexist towards women Sexist? No God does not favor one gender more than the other. If God favored man more than the woman, why is there circumcision? I think he would be sending the wrong message if he liked men more, it’s like saying “I like men more, and so I’ll have his testicles cut.” The problem with saying the Bible is sexist (favoring men) is that a majority of the time it’s talking about husbands and wives, not the entire population of men and women. It does not say “Women submit to Men.” That would be a flat out misinterpretation because of Deborah, who was both a prophetess and Judge over Israel (Judges 4:1). The reason why women submit is more for evangelistic reasons then sexist. It’s so that the woman can win over the man. Peter talks about this in 1 Peter 3:1-2. “Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct.” Yes, Eve deceived Adam. Which is why women do not speak in church. Granted the word speak is often interpreted like preaching, apparently things like prayer and prophesying were allowed activities because of Paul mentioning in 1 Corinthians 11:5. Yes, women are the glory of man. For woman came from the rib of a man. They are neither inferior nor superior to men. Yes, women do take on a more subordinate role in the Christian model of marriages. To note, being submissive doesn’t really make one inferior in Christianity… after all, Jesus came in the image of a servant, not of a god. And he was submissive to god even though he was aware that he would die on the cross. And Jesus now days is worshipped like that of a god, despite his submissive nature. Lastly, homosexuality. To be clear here, what society are you talking about? Some societies still don’t accept gays like others. What society do you speak of? The US, Africa? The pro-gay social groups or the anti-gay social groups? Also, those commandments were given to Israel in those days and not given to Christians. Christians typically do not carry out judgment for it’s not a role that has been given to us. Am I saying that the commandments are wrong? No. The commandment is good. The problem with homosexuality is that it teaches you to embrace your lust instead of controlling it. From the lust of the flesh comes pedophile, bestiality, polygyny, etc. this is why it’s not wrong for a nation to make sexual intercourse between men and men a capital punishment. As another note. Society shouldn’t really follow in the footsteps of the animal kingdom because “it’s natural”. For that kingdom practices many horrible abominations, ranging from cannibalism to incest. Humanity is not a natural race, for it is a rational species, unlike the irrational animals. So it makes little sense to base itself off things that is natural, for it is not natural. Homosexuals do not reveal love, they reveal their lust for one another. There is a difference. For I love my buddies, but I do not have a desire to exchange sex with them.
