Why would a man go where God isn't. I mean if I want to be entertained I have football, beer, video games, fishing, in other words alot more things to do than sit around a church that is run by a pastor who is run by his wife. These ridiculous churches are not "geared toward men" but geared toward women who hope this crap will seduce their husbands into going.

I can talk to God daily while working, why join a bunch of unbelievers at a social gathering. Remember that Eve was deceived of the Devil but Adam just listened to his wife.

You ain't gonna find that a fundamentalist church. In fact, some of them are man-centered to the point of being unbiblical. (Yes, I know, those are few.) Anyway, some sort of fundamentalist church (i.e. an independent Baptist church or a Southern Baptist church) might suit you.

Wow!! So I have to ask why aren't you going to church to show them how they have went astray? Believers are the church and we are to worship corporately.

Agreed. If anything, this looks like a case of empire building. Getting more butts in the seats gets you more $$ + bragging rights on how many you’ve “saved” by the latest marketing gimmick.

I can give you two good reasons:
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

I am beginning to think that the very thing I most abhored about church is actually one of it’s most important purposes: Christian fellowship. Hanging around with other Christians. Rock climbing, motorcycle and bike riding, you name it.
