To answer your question.
Yes, I do have a family, No, I don’t have a problem with men. Not real ones at least.

And Church is for Fellowship in the Lord, learning about the Lord, talking (that thing you seem to despise so much) to the Lord.

But, you do really seem to have a problem with women...

News flash, God made woman and He considered it good.

Maybe the Church would be changed, IF you, as the ball busting man you want us to believe you are, were to actually go to Church, and Speak (there’s that word again) with your Pastor about having a active role in the worship service.

And no, I’m neither an idiot , nor am I weird. My family is interested in each others lives. It sounds to me, that you simply wish to be Lord and Master of yours, looking down your nose at the “woman” in your life, and call Jesus (the ways He’s being taught at most Churches now) a WUSS!

As the Head of the House (or do you prefer Master?) of your house, it is your DUTY as a Husband, and Father (I’m assuming that you are), TO go to Church, and LEAD by example. All I see/hear you doing is tearing down, instead of helping build up.

Don’t like the way things are? CHANGE them.

A real man would.

I don’t have a problem with women. I do have a problem with women who want men to be interchangeable with them. I do have a problem with women who think their characteristics are better than those given men by God.

From your home page:

“Proud to be human companion to six canine children, and two feline children.”

That speaks volumes. Cats and dogs are not children. And as I suspected, no men. I’ve been a Christian for 40 years, and a husband for 24. I’ve got three children, all human. Three grandchildren. Three DOGS. Two HORSES. 5 animals, to go with the family, not to replace having one.

“And Church is for Fellowship in the Lord, learning about the Lord, talking (that thing you seem to despise so much) to the Lord.”

I don’t despise talking, but like most men (and unlike many women...or is it womyn?), it isn’t my life.

Have you ever heard of having a “Quiet Time” with the Lord? Me too.

Have you ever heard of having a quiet time with women? Me neither...and I’ve never been tempted to say to God, “Just give it a rest!”

“It sounds to me, that you simply wish to be Lord and Master of yours, looking down your nose at the “woman” in your life, and call Jesus (the ways He’s being taught at most Churches now) a WUSS!”

Nope. I’ve never had a desire to look down on my wife. But the Jesus taught in many churches today IS a wussie! And a pansy. And a faggot, most likely. Long hair, wears a dress, and gushes with sentimentality. Has nothing to do with the God revealed in the Gospels, and wouldn’t THINK of disturbing people by returning with a sword, ready to destroy those who oppose Him. That would be so...so...judgmental! Indeed, the Jesus of the Modern Church would probably rather come again and...talk. Talk about how men should act more like women...

“Maybe the Church would be changed, IF you, as the ball busting man you want us to believe you are, were to actually go to Church, and Speak (there’s that word again) with your Pastor about having a active role in the worship service.”

I don’t WANT a role in the service as it exists. I don’t want to lead the singing. And I frankly don’t think most “worship services” have much, if anything, to do with worshiping God. Nor with serving Him.

“As the Head of the House (or do you prefer Master?) of your house, it is your DUTY as a Husband, and Father (I’m assuming that you are), TO go to Church, and LEAD by example. All I see/hear you doing is tearing down, instead of helping build up.”

There you go again, pretending I’m trying to dominate my wife. Bold talk for a “human companion” with 6 canine kids, and two feline kids! But I also refuse to be dominated BY my wife. Or by womyn.

And I’ve been going to church for about 40 years. But I’m not going to pretend that “church” is very attractive to men. That is the problem. The typical Protestant service is designed to appeal to women, and then complains that men don’t want to attend. Can’t speak about Catholics, although I’ve never met a Catholic Priest who complained “Why aren’t there more women who want to come to Mass? All I’ve go tis men, men, men!”

“News flash, God made woman and He considered it good.”

Actually, the scriptures stop saying “And God saw that it was good” in Chapter 1. Woman was created in Chapter 2. Just saying...

And there God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” And a good woman is a tremendous helper to a man, but not a replacement for man - any more than a dog or cat is a replacement for a child!

It may be the problem is that society has rejected men as the head of the household, and largely handed that role to women. I can’t solve that problem - only reject it in my life.
