Men and women will never be at the exact same level, differences, albeit minor ones, are always shown no matter what it is you choose to look at. In the same vein though, I don't think the whole idea of feminism helps the matter very much.
Macho guys are just stupid. It's not really a good characteristic to have these days. Just because you're big enough to beat the crapola out of somebody, doesn't mean you're instantly desirable to the fairer sex. It's more that if you're able to pick fights, and do so often, it makes it less likely you'll be coming home to dinner with the wife and kids, and more likely the wife and kids will be visiting you in the hospital watching you drink beef through a straw.
God is less of an idea, and more of something like a forced system. Parents tend to throw religion upon their children at an early age, and that is what they shall believe, as they are young and know no better. Unfortunately this train of thought filters through them and into their children, and the children after that, and carries on. Religious thoughts of that format are as much of a disease as the common cold, except these diseases cannot be gotten rid of without a hell of a lot of effort.
People don't remain static as such. They move, but they move in cycles, so they always return to the original position. You'll notice that if you try to discuss theology with somebody who does not share your views, they will usually push and push their opinions upon you, insisting they are correct, while you are not, and dismissing your views with things sometimes as weak as 'That's not what the Bible says'.
Killing over an idea is not always an abomination. It can sometimes save lives, but that does not happen often. Usually it's just a poor man's crusade against something they find unsightly and wish to remove from their sight. However, they find it impossible to simply turn away an cast their eyes from that which sickens them. No, they feel the need to assault the thing they hate, simply because it is different.

If I don't know what lies beyond
Desire is now the one in control
Am I strong enough to not ever know just what I'd find?
Should I press on?
