They are any male persons from all walks of life that feels entitlement to hold power over another person or group of people. Their obituaries when they die will all read, “a Good Church Attending or God Fearing Man.” They can be rednecks, politicians, clergy, bureucrats,CEO’s,court judges, ranchers, cowboys, or powerful lay people within the Churches.
America is the only country left of the civilized world that still has capital punishment. We know it is not a deterrent as we also have the highest crime rates of all civilized countries as well. In my opinion, the problem starts and ends with the idea that we do nothiing until after the crime happens and then we put them in jail. If we were able to stop child abuse, drug and alcohol addiction and bantering before they happened we could lower crimes substantially and prevent mental illness that arises from the environmental causes of having been bantered and abused. Social ills should be and are certainly the responsibility of Religion.
Instead we have a huge movement under way in the churches to feed the ego of man. To understand the male personna one only has to understand that by nature of the beast the male child is born with an ego bigger than the out doors and it needs to be humbled rather than glorified. Unfortunately, “the good old boys” still have all the power in the land. Building up respect for both women and children in our Country only distracts from their own ego. There is no money in it and it weakens the power of the male species to flex it’s muscle and to control it’s women.
Churches have gotten so far away from teaching Christ message of love and respect for both women and children because of the influence done by these “Good Old Boys”. It is my belief that God’s message has been lost as the Clergy themselves truly believe that man is so superior to women that they do not walk on the same ground. The Mormons may be the only one that outwardly teach that women cannot get to heaven unless they have an attachment to man that is Christ like but in truth all of the Churches efforts have gone towards teaching women how to better be subserviant to their man and thereby bring harmony to the family. The under lying teaching of all of the churches is that if a woman does her job then she won’t be beaten nor will the children be abused and Society will just be a happy “Father Knows Best” program of life.
At some point the Churches lost sight of their role or responsibility is to teach Christ’s message of love and acceptance along with forgiveness of all. There was never suppose to be any prejudice against races,people or gender. No one was suppose to get special treatment since we were all sinners and could not throw the first stone. The widow lady giving the penny gave the most because she had the least to give and so on and so forth.
Man instead decided to allevate himself into the role of Jesus Christ not only as His Representative but as His inspired teacher. The clergy as well as their faithful have gotten so far off course there is the actual belief that the clergy itself is not a representative of Christ message but instead Christ’s replacement on earth and to go against the priest, or minister’s teaching is to go against God Jesus.
There is no greater power on earth, to hold women in line, than to have the power to tell them that they are going to go to hell if they do not serve man. That is why God Christ in His infinite Wisdom did not give that power to decide who would or would not go to hell to a single man on earth, including the Pope. the Apostle Paul taught ,as Christ’s spokesperson that all men, women and children, regardless of lifstyle, would go to heaven because of the fact that Christ came.
The Apostles job was to simply forgive and to teach all Nations about God. One can assume then that once we know and understand God’s message to mankind our need for the churches are then negated by living the life God wishes us to live. It is only the man made rules of the individual churches, themselves, that keeps each of us duty bound to the church. We as Christians would simply have the baptism, blessings of the Churches on our death bed and traditional services as we wished to ask for help other than being obligated to the Churches.
Man has extracted that power for himself. Mankind from the start was told both, “Vengeance is mind sayeth the Lord” and Judge not lest thee be judged”. If the day ever comes that both men and women have equality so that the Churches, outside of their individual memberships and doors, rather than government alone start working towards helping families help themselves then we as a Nation will both know and understand the value of relgion that teaches Christ message and not “The Good Old Boys message of hate, bigotry, and prejudices.
