Uh, the obvious answer would be the Lord. Just guessing
Maybe you wife is nagging you, because you would rather go jogging, ride a horse, shoot a gun, or just enjoy doing nothing. Was this the reason you got married? To be alone? Or was it just for safe, free sex?
Why would a man want to be put in that spot? I'd have to say that a man puts himself in that spot. Church is supposed to be about coming together as a family, as a "body" to learn about God and the Lord. Yes, women do talk to each other, and about a multitude of subjects, and maybe it's that way because their husbands, seem to have to same idea as you do. That they would rather do nothing at all than discuss anything with their spouse.
I've seen grown men cry over the Superbowl, but you have a problem with caring in a church? I'm really feeling sorry for Mrs. Rogers now.
“What is there in a church service for men to do or care about? / Uh, the obvious answer would be the Lord. Just guessing”
I hate to break it to you, but the Lord is at work in a Christian’s life 24/7. Sitting passively listening to someone urge you to be more like a woman is NOT a part of serving God.
“Maybe you wife is nagging you, because you would rather go jogging, ride a horse, shoot a gun, or just enjoy doing nothing. Was this the reason you got married? To be alone? Or was it just for safe, free sex?”
Are you an idiot? I think 24 years of marriage indicates I’ve been in it for something other than “safe, free sex?”
You apparently have a very odd idea of marriage, and how people spend their day. I spend a lot of time with my family. But no, I do not want their companionship 24 hours every day. Only a very weird person would crave that.
Nor do I go to church to be with my family. There is, after all, almost no interaction with my family at church.
Again, church is largely a passive event. You sit, you join in group singing, and you listen to someone talking at you.
If that is what you consider quality time with your family, perhaps you need to rethink your family life. If you have one. You write like someone who does not.
“Yes, women do talk to each other, and about a multitude of subjects, and maybe it’s that way because their husbands, seem to have to same idea as you do.”
You have a real problem with men.
Here is a news flash - women like talking FAR more than men do. But I just drove my wife home from work, and we just spent 30 minutes talking to each other. Of course, in church, we do not talk to each other. We are either passively listening, or she is seeking out women to gab with.
“I’ve seen grown men cry over the Superbowl, but you have a problem with caring in a church? I’m really feeling sorry for Mrs. Rogers now.”
Don’t waste your pity. Frankly, you need to meet some men and learn something about them.
No, I don’t go to church to cry. I don’t cry in public. And no, I don’t watch the Superbowl, either. Maybe that is because we don’t have our TV hooked up. Maybe that is also why we have time to talk to each other.
But church? You want men to go to church and get teary eyed over “sweet baby Jesus”?
Well, here is a hint: Jesus doesn’t want it. Jesus isn’t some pansy. You might try reading the Gospels, and meeting a Jesus who is absent from many church services.
You are a great example of why men avoid church like the plague. It is a feminizing, near homosexual passive experience, meant to turn men into women. Many preachers preach sermons full of horse poop, because they have never lived. And the service is designed to take away initiative, punish real thought, and numb men into pathetic dykes with balls instead of being the men God calls to action.
