Men Must Lead

In a relationship or family dynamic the man has the responsibility to lead.  Unfortunately, men have been convinced that “manning up” means serving a woman’s every wish.

Happy wife, happy life.  Sound familiar?  There is truth and lie in that.  Yes, a happy woman makes life less stressful.

However, she often doesn’t realize what makes her truly happy.  She believes in her immediate thinking that getting her man to do what she wants when she wants will make her happy.

But society has duped her.  A woman who is constantly placated by her man will become less and less attracted to him until he becomes so weak in her eyes that she detests him.

It’s rooted deep in her DNA to want to be lead.  This is why women are often drawn to “a**holes” who treat them poorly.

When good honest men surrender their strength, women begin to fantasize about and be drawn to bad boys.  Felons and drummers become more attractive than the provider.

Don’t believe me?  Why do you think 50 Shades of Grey was so popular.  How many men in this country were losing an attention competition with a book a few years back?

They sense strength from a bad boy that their basically good man has failed to exhibit after being worn down trying to please.  The most important way to lead is by knowing your faith.

Leading is not yelling “shut up bitch” or being abusive.  Crack open a Bible and you will see loud and clear that a man is meant to lead in a loving but strong fashion.

He is supposed to love and cherish his wife but not let her lead.  If you are in a dating relationship based on more than JUST physicality it is a marriage audition for both parties.  Of course she should have input and is far better equipped to handle day-to-day decisions and raise children but major decisions should be finalized by the man.

In the Bible, when women lead disaster often strikes.  Examples:

1-Adam eats the apple Eve offers leading to the fall of man.

2-Samson loses his strength and his eyes trying to please Delilah.

3-John the Baptist is beheaded by King Herod at the request of his brother’s wife due to John’s (whom Herod liked) disapproval of their relationship.

I went to a men’s retreat a couple years back.  I really didn’t want to go but a priest I like leaned on me after an Ash Wednesday confession so I went.

The men there were all good guys and most were/are likely living far holier lives than me.  But as they told their journeys to Christ, they began to lose me.

The majority of them went on and on about how their wives lead them to Christ.  I heard how women are better at this than men and are the spiritual leaders of their families.

Now, thank God for these women!  Better a man come to Christ dragged by his wife than not at all.

But what happened to this country that made men so Godless?  Explains a great deal about the spiritual direction of this country.  Talk soon.

Secular Woman=Secular Outcome

If you get involved with a secular woman, you should expect a secular outcome.  What is a secular woman?

A secular woman is one who is Godless.  Her values are completely controlled by the world which belongs to Satan until the Second Coming of Christ.

That is not to say secular women are outright evil.  One of the devil’s go-to weapons is getting us to think he doesn’t exist.

Most secular women fall for this lie and don’t even realize where they are being lead.  The secular woman thinks that so long as she doesn’t do intentional tangible harm to anyone, she is a good person.

Full disclosure:  I did not come up with this title.  In my last article I wrote about attending a talk early this Summer by Roosh V.

One of the things that stood out in his talk was when he told us that if we get involved in a relationship with a secular woman we can bet on a secular outcome.

So my thoughts here are a mixture of his insights with my own.  But every writer plagiarizes a bit if they are being honest.  We all have our influences.

What is the secular outcome?  It’s normally a breakup (often her choice) or divorce and possible heartache and/or hardship depending how invested you were in this Godless woman.

If your desires as a man are purely physical conquests with no emotional connection, a secular woman is probably your best target as she answers only to the world which has been feeding her the lie that she is entitled to her sexual liberty while still being treated like a lady.

This is not to say that there are not church-going women who will act in a similar manor; there are but a secular female is far more likely to seek a purely physical connection without even thinking twice about it.

Thing is, we are all human and sometimes a man can fall for one of these women or think he has.  He looks only at the enjoyment of the physicality and ignores what is plain to see.

She may reciprocate these feelings and/or view him as a possible provider and get into a relationship or marriage with this man.  When she becomes a little bored, she doesn’t answer to a God who forbids adultery.

She doesn’t answer to a God who checks her vanity when she is getting “likes” on Instaface.

If she lives in a state with no fault divorce laws, she can commit adultery, file for divorce, then still get the kids, house, alimony and child support along with half any other assets.

Because we now live in a world where just about everything but the truth is accepted, even a woman with a love for God can have her thinking warped by society’s nonstop assault on Judeo-Christian values and the importance placed on the flesh.

However, I believe Roosh’s take that the more a woman’s conscience is invested in God, the less likely she will be to jump to divorce or what’s exciting the minute the relationship is no longer novel and fun.

The catch is to truly gage a woman’s love for/fear of God, we as men need to practice our faith and lead.  Talk soon.

Mortal Sin Wrapped in Deadly Sin

There is a segment of our population that has come to celebrate a mortal sin wrapped up in a deadly sin.

I have not done much writing this Summer but early on I was taking a train to see Roosh Valizadeh give a talk.  Roosh is an interesting guy.

He gained internet fame or infamy as an author of pick-up books mainly focusing on meaningless notches (though his recent book, Game is geared more toward finding a decent long term relationship).  He is an unapologetic men’s rights commentator which gets him labeled a misogynist.

Roosh also was a vocal Trump supporter making the cyber-left even more triggered.

Reading some of his material and watching his live streams, I didn’t always agree 100% (I am a staunch supporter of Israel) but I find him to usually be accurate.  He also has an effortless dry humor that you rarely get from conservative talk radio.

Recently though, spurred on by the loss of his sister to cancer, Roosh has gotten further in touch with his Oriental Orthodox faith.  This has drawn me in even more.

He has quickly gone from someone who justified his sinful heterosexual lifestyle to someone who has made a serious effort to avoid meaningless sex after finding it leaving him empty.

I guess I can identify with what he is battling as I lived a similar lifestyle for years while practicing Catholicism.  We all struggle with temptation; thank God for Confession!

So while I was waiting for my train to go to the talk, I stopped in a local bar to kill time.  The bartender reminded me that it was “Pride Weekend” in the city I was travelling to.

I was unaware and a little annoyed that he was holding this talk on such a weekend.  This is a man rightfully outspoken against sodomy of all kinds.

Who says rightfully?  God!  The Bible discusses sexual immorality often.  Some examples:

1-Leviticus 18:22:  “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”

2-Leviticus 20:13:  “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.”

3-Romans 1:24-28:  “Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.”

I want all of you to go back and read number 3.  Sometimes we as heterosexuals get on our high horses pointing fingers how disgusting the homosexuals are.

But male-female sodomy is also mortally sinful.

Now, if you read this blog you know I have been very outspoken against the LGBTQ movement.  But I want to put in black and white my full position.

My problem is not with members of this community as individuals.  They are also God’s children.

I don’t know whether this condition is natural or nurtured; I suspect it can be either or a combination.

I have known some homosexuals in my lifetime, one being my late cousin who were good people I liked or even loved.

Just like we are all God’s children we are all sinners.  As an unmarried man, every time I fornicate with a woman (even in a relationship) I commit a mortal sin.

As Fr. John Corapi once said, these people carry a heavy cross as they are held to the same standard as priests-CELEBACY.

That’s right.  One of the reasons homosexual activity is a greater sin is it can never be made right in God’s eyes through marriage (no matter what any government which came along way after God’s Word says).

That’s why they need our prayers.  And once again, thank God for Confession.

My problem is with the leadership and championing of the LGBTQ movement.

This is a bullying cowardly agenda that tried to bankrupt bakers for practicing Christianity while looking the other way in silence as Muslims throw them from roofs and shoot up their nightclubs.

Even if you are a homosexual who is not in lockstep with this agenda like Peter Theil, Andy Ngo or Milo Yiannopoulos you are hung out to dry.

The advocates of this agenda are leading those they claim to fight for straight to hell.  Meanwhile, they openly advertise it as a deadly sin.

How you may ask?  Okay, back to Roosh.

I got into the area of the talk early so I wouldn’t have to rush to find the venue.  When I found the address I decided to grab a drink.

You couldn’t find an establishment that wasn’t flying rainbow flags (something ugly has forever hijacked something beautiful as another of their many lies).  So I went back to the event site.

I got to meet Roosh personally and spoke to him one-on-one for a few minutes.  He summed up the whole shenanigans going on outside.

He pointed out that the sodomy celebration was advertised as a “Pride” celebration.  What is “Pride?”

It’s one of the 7 deadly sins.  Talk soon.

PS:  There was recently a “Straight Pride” parade in Boston.  I fully support the idea.  What was once silly has become a necessity for traditional Westerners to combat the left’s nonstop onslaught on everything traditional and decent.

But they should consider renaming it a “Straight Celebration” or something along those lines.  Let the sodomites have their “Pride.”
