Anyway, you will fit right in with the True Christians here. They also treat the Bible with respect.

Ha, I was slightly amused by this. Assuming it was a jest. But if you're being serious... why would I feel respect for something that degrades me for being something I was born as? If you're trying to make me feel some sort of guilt for being female, sorry, strange lady, but it's not working. No, the respect I feel is based on the fact that it is the holy word of our mighty savior. Does that answer your question?

No, it does not answer my question.
The Bible clearly states that women are inferior. It's in the Ephesians, somewhere - you read the Bible, so you know that. So if you respect the Bible as the Word of God, then you have to accept your inferiority as a fact. For me personally, the misogyny of the Bible in general and of the author(s) of the Epistles of Paul specifically, is what makes me doubt that the Bible is really the Word of God.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Oh, please. That was ONLY 23 separate verses. Why not make it an even two dozen?
Leviticus 27:3-8
And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

I find them to be quite interesting, personally, and I make them my study. Your group may be concerned with perfecting holiness in themselves and setting themselves aside. That's fine, and that's respectable. But I prefer to be out in the midst of things. On the one hand, I maintain the mental health of individuals by providing support, and on the other I lead them to Christ. "Children playing hopscotch in the middle of your chess matches"? I would not say that applies to me, as I am mainly here to observe. But as for others doing that... that's just a fact of the internet. Believe me, as a moderator on several platforms, I can attest.

That may be true however where a self-declared believer comes up with a statement of doctrine or (less dogmatically) an idea about what God does or does not approve of and that statement flat out contradicts our only source for Christian theology (the teachings of Jesus and His ministry from the first moment of Creation to the present day)
we know they're just making it up and are EITHER unaware of God's explicit statement on exactly the same point OR are aware but reject God and THEREFORE cannot be Christians at all.
That does sort of involve knowing what The Bible says, whether you've read it once and can remember what you've read or read the whole piece every day from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. As you point out, it's not a competition.

What amused me there, Sister Mitza, was what my dear husband calls "the superfluous actually", so very often used as an indicator of a half-truth. It is a red-flag word in this house!

If I were to say, for example, "Actually, I have been to Pakistan" this would be "true" in the sense that when I was a small child I once sat in an airside lounge in Karachi airport for an hour or two, during a refueling stop. It is not, however, true to say that I have been to Pakistan. I have never entered that God-forsaken country.
Vaccinated by the love of Jesus!!!

I've never been to Pakistan. From the few reports I've had, a place with no standards at all would be better than whatever passes for standards there. A pirate ship, for instance: well, they did have a standard "Do what the captain says or walk the plank" and I'm not including nutters in powered dinghies whose heads would actually explode if they met a genuine pirate like Mister Roberts or Mary Read. The single standard of respecting the Chief Pirate did at least produce a viable pirate ship where amputations did not exceed free prosthetics [wooden legs, hooks] thrown in by a magnanimous commander eager to keep her show on the road. (His, in the case of Roberts.)
As for the nutters, it's like something's gone wrong in their brain; mostly they get blown up with mortar fire but a few manage to hijack a ship. It's about the pinnacle of economic achievement, Keynesianism gone mad as noted from the outset by their ideal nutter centuries ago on camels.

I've been to Pakistan and India.Really could not tell the differences between the two 4th world cesspools. The smell, filth and gibberish. Not a good steak to be found anywhere.
It was funny to see them scurrying about like ants. It made me wish I had a giant magnifying lens to focus Gods Love™ on them
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
