Hey de-Convert, Thanks for tellin it like it is!! It pisses me off when positive traits are said to be primarily Male-dominated or female-dominated, it keeps us from actualizing our full potential as human beings. We need to quit trying to pigeon-hole each other and accept the fact that social conditioning has way more to do with it than anything. I’m a woman who loves risk and adventure *as well as* being a good person and not trampling over others to get stuff done. I get stuff done through the use of a little thing called tact. ever hear that saying about the bees and the honey? Some of the rest of you might want to think on that…

LOL…. Even as a Christian I could not get into Promise Keepers. It’s funny how they cloak misogyny into the concept of “we’re hangin out here for the benefit of our wives.”

Ok, well, I shot my mouth off over there, guess I’ll wait for the fallout

Those Promise Keepers (mentioned at that site) frankly scare the hell out of me. Insidious way to put the “little woman” in her place.
They’re kind of a covert Christian jihad.

‘Cause we all know it ain’t really church if you can’t bring your hunting dogs and guns, start fights, slap your bitch around, kill a bear with your bare hands, shotgun beer, give up bathing and all those manly things. I bet that’d bring in all those manly men.

I have been a life long christian and find that things just seem a little…well…girly. From the songs, to the hand holding, a lot of things just seem to lack a connection for men. Is it because so many women are more actively involved in the community (committees, choirs, etc.) and thus unknowingly ‘drive’ things into the feminine aesthetic? I don’t know. Unfortunately, I have to agree with this article.

“…Jesus as lover.”
Jesus loves me, this I know. But he still thinks about other women when we’re doin’ it.

By the way, my use of “men” above is not intended to be “men” only but both men and women!

They are not feminine qualities, but they are not intended to negate the danger and risk that can be associated with the gospel; nor do they deny some of the essential nature of what it means to be a man. That’s all I’m saying.

While Jesus also encouraged such a lifestyle, he also called men to decision and leadership and to taking his message to the world. It is a message that flies in the face of most of western culture and much of eastern culture. That makes it dangerous, edgy, and radical.
