making fun of me?

I try to do my best, for what it's worth. I'm far from perfect, and am guilty of some unchristianlike things I admit, but I try. Not exactly where I ought to be though, will say that much.

Not at all. Find yourself a Godly man and you'll be happy - rather wait on God to hook you up with a Godly man.

i am... mostly. just opening up some more avenues
i truely believe that God calls men to pursue their wives. a bible study i did said that most relationships that survived, the men pursued the women. i feel that is how it should be. jmo.

You said for us to smack you if you got on here before 9 pm!!! WHAM!!!

This guy is the real deal!!! If I weren't so old and funky, (and presently taken), I'd be on a plane to Canada!!

It's been my observation in life that if you are seeking a man who actually acts more in line with what Christ taught you're better off seeking a non-Christian man.

its true there are hypocrytes out there but not all church going men are. a true man is not afraid to go to a bible study that focuses on getting help for his problems.

That's a matter of personal preference.

I could just as easily say that a true man is a man who isn't afraid to look outside of the Bible to solve his problems.

Ultimately you're the one who decides how you personally define a 'true man'. There is no absolute definition.

Just curious - what "exactly" are you reading in the Bible that dictates to you, what a man should be?

I'm also wondering if you have ever reviewed "exactly" what the Bible says a 'woman'sould be - and if you have compared yourself to those values?

I would REALLY like to see both sets of information, it would be interesting to see what a real Biblical current day man and woman should be.

of me too?

Nope. We are all trying and will be trying until our last breath. Anyone tells you different you can call them God.

Organized religion always has been and remains the greatest enemy of women's rights. In the Christian-dominated Western world, two bible verses in particular sum up the position of women:

"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."--Genesis 3:16

By this third chapter of Genesis, woman lost her rights, her standing, even her identity, and motherhood became a god-inflicted curse degrading her status in the world.

In the New Testament, the bible decrees:
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."--1 Tim. 2:11-14

One bible verse alone, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" (Exodus 22:18) is responsible for the death of tens of thousands, if not millions, of women. Do women and those who care about them need further evidence of the great harm of Christianity, predicated as it has been on these and
similar teachings about women?

So, Ms Original Poster, unless you are prepared to be owned, degraded and be subjected to humiliation including to be silent, I would suggest you get yourself someone who is prepared to treat you as an equal, make your joint efforts worthwhile and steers as far away from the bible as possible

Windex will help you get those glasses clean so you can see a lot clearer.

Nitrogen narcosis really fu*ks up your noodle doesn't it.

I wouldnt know ... and obviously, neither do you ...


But I suppose it fits you, the subjugation of women thing, does it?

Indeed ... I find him laughable too
