The OP is correct that people are (understandably) trying to reinvent the bible to fit modern more evolved ethics.
The Bible is clear that women must also submit to being beaten by an evil and harsh husband, regardless of his religion:
The Bible is clear that women must also submit to being beaten by an evil and harsh husband, regardless of his religion:
"Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh... But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God... Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands..."
I wish you all luck in your efforts to rewrite it.
