Why men hate church cont.

Thanks for the feedback. Some good ideas about the length of meetings etc. But I want to continue to think about why men aren't as spiritual as women! It seems so anyway.
What about sin? Surely what holds men back is their pride. Masculine traits like the need to be in control, to be over competitive, to be self contained, to achieve and to perform can be strategies for living independently of God. What should a man look like? He should look like Jesus. Not the "nice Jesus" of children's books but the brave Jesus who challanged the hypocrites in His society. The Jesus who lived for God no matter what and laid down His life for others.
There is some gender confusion today. Jobs traditionally done by men have been openned up to women eg fire fighting, soldiering and for goodness sake Linfield even have a Ladies Football Team! As men have traditionally defined themselves through their jobs it's all a bit too much. Redidcovering masculinity needs to be resolved apart from what job you have or sports you play. [I mean this, I don't think it's proper for women to play football or rugby, it's horrible]
The question of identity is foundational to spiritual growth. More tomorrow.
