I am not appalled at all. If you want men to come to church honor them and plan things that appeal to them. My church is about 50/50 and we have many programs for men.

Shouldn't the church honor God and Him alone? If men don't like it, they should man up and go anyway. If a man has real, theological issues with how a specific church service is run, they should look to change those specific issues or go elsewhere. Going to church for the shiny objects and loud sounds misses the whole point.

If the church is going to do lame unscriptural (or non-scriptual things) things to attract men, in the name of marketing.... Well I can think of a lot of really cool things that are not lame that would attract ment, even if they are non scriptural....

Fly a P-51 into the church parking lot.

Have a parchutist drop from the sky and give every guy there a bow and arrow and see if they can hit the parachute.

Have a demolition derby in the church parking lot.

Hand out firecrackers and matches

I mean, come on. If you really want to get men there using marketing tactics.... How non creative can they be?
