Which came first, actually: men losing interest in churches, or churches becoming more feminist-oriented, and less fulfilling to the spiritual needs of the men?

If more men would have been Godly leaders, there wouldn’t have been so many women in leadership roles in churches -—
regular churches, not “Feminist-oriented” churches. Those are a different animal altogether. Those types of churches are usually very liberal, and have evolved into places filled with openly gay men and lesbians, and “free-thinkers”. Read their statements of belief, and they almost always will have rejected The Apostles Creed, or have changed it to fit their apostate beliefs. They’ll also usually qualify the Bible as error-prone, instead of infallible. I’m all for gays and lesbians attending church, as long as the church doesn’t teach that it’s normal to be that way. After all, if only perfect people were welcome, they’d all be empty. I don’t have a problem with women teachers, but I don’t think women should be pastors.
I can remember, as a child, long before the feminist garbage came along, going to an Oral Roberts tent meeting. Mostly women and children present. I also remember visiting churches where few men showed up, as well as those where families, including men, worshipped together. Where I grew up, unchurched people were considered of almost a lower species. But a lot of those church-goers, men and women, went to church for social reasons. Belonging to the right church helped them along in business, kept them in the right crowd, etc. I’m sure there’s still that kind of hypocrisy in many churches, those in which all the leaders are men, as well as those with women in leadership. I just want to go to church where Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, is preached. Everything else is gravy.
