Re: Why men hate church
I know I for one identify with the idea that many men hate church because they are expected to just shut up and play along. I hate that if a preacher, any preacher, says something stupid, incorrect or outright unbiblical I am expected to just sit there and play along. If I want I can talk to him after service, but lets be real folks...preachers who preach stupid stuff like "men can't wear shorts because it is immodest" just blow off anyone who asks them to prove it in the Bible.
I know I get tired of hearing about how important the Word of God is, then hearing people just butcher it to pieces with no accountability. No noe can challenge them. No one can point out their error. And yes...I do think it should be in the open. Behind closed doors they just blow off correction either gracefully (we'll just have to agree to disagree) or not so gracefully (I'm the Pastor and you are in rebellion. It's my way and you can find another church if you don't like it).
We want men to be men, and even preach men to be men, but when a man tries to be a man and correct what is wrong...well then he is just rebellious or out of line.
