Girly-Man Christians

I just finished "Why Men Hate Church" and I was in hearty agreement! Basically, church is for sissies, which is ironic, since almost all pastors and leaders are still "men." There is no challenge from the church (except to stop being mean and naughty?) and church is all about sitting still, being quiet, sharing emotions, and happy-clappy music (if you're LUCKY). Plus, the God of Christianity (Jesus) is portrayed as being a total wuss (a hippie in a dress).

I'm not going to say that the solution is to allow belligerance, disrespect, and casual sex into the church, but somebody needs to "man up" and say that it's OK to be Christian and masculine. How did Jesus, Paul, and David get turned into guys who drink tea while sitting on the couch and talking about their feelings?

As the great theologian and philosopher of this age, Sinbad, once eloquently said, "women be different from men!" Christianity should not be marked by either masculine or feminine traits, but should let the glory of God be reflected in different ways by the different sexes.

I'm sure there will be some debate on this, but men need manly examples of courage, vision, self-sacrifice, perseverance, leadership, how to treat women, all mixed with humility and reverance for God. While at the same time, women need womanly examples of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows...

...of course I'm joking.

...they need examples of nurture, hospitality, relationship, sharing, empathy, mercy, and support, and coochie coo baby stuff, and and I'm sure their are many other things, but I'm not by any means the expert on women!! I'll let woment figure out what their femininity means, just as long as I still get to watch football.
