An Open Letter to Christian Single Men 18 to 40

 Dear Christian single men 18 to 40,


  Hello. This is part blog, part open letter, and I’m gearing this almost exclusively to Christian single men in their young adulthood up to their late 30s and early 40s.  So if this is you, please read this with an open mind.  If you know somebody who fits the aforementioned category, I greatly encourage you to send this blog to them as they need to read this.  Seriously, they need to see it. 

  OK, I’ve mentioned a couple of times in previous blogs, I come from an evangelical Christian background, Southern Baptist, to be exact.  Although I’m not particularly religious and haven’t been for about nine years, I still have a great respect for Christians and Christian Conservatives despite the incredible persecution they face daily, whether online or in real life, the former persecution being from the left and being verbal or written, and the latter being mainly from Muslims worldwide and being very physical and brutal.  I’m not some “keyboard atheist;” I’m not writing this letter to bash you and ridicule and belittle you, like all the online atheists/liberals/Marxists do continuously. 
 

 
Yeah, I’m not like that.  At all.  I was once one of you, and, even though I’m not so much now, I still empathize and respect and honor your beliefs very much.

However,

Nevertheless,

But,

Regardless,

I need to convey this to you guys, as politely and respectively as I can.

Single young Christian men…

…it’s…it’s time.  It’s just time.  It’s time for you to drop out of church once and for all.

I mean it.  It’s time to stop going to church for good, and never go back.  Don’t you think it’s high time? 

  Why are you going?  Why are you even bothering??  Is it because your parents are really pushing for you to go?  Is it just because you’re active in various ministries and worship opportunities there?  I know the feeling, as I was very active in the drama group (indeed, the main actor and one of the main writers of our amazing plays and videos) and loved, loved, loved it and lived for it as I love theater.  But secular theater is all godless liberals, and it was great to be around non-godless conservatives and immerse myself in something that I absolutely loved doing and was talented in doing.  So I understand where you are coming from if you like being part of various groups and ministries in church.  But being part of that doesn’t even come close to outweighing the elephant in the room, and that is…

…you’re single.  Very single.  Alone.  Probably rarely or never had somebody.  And it’s not changing one bit for the better, now is it?  Look around you on a Sunday morning.  Who do you see?

1. Old people, some of them so elderly they are weeks away from keeling over;

2. Married couples your age, all of them with children, and all they ever talk about is their friggen kids all the time;

3. Maybe one or two divorced, used-up women with kids, just in church to look for a sugar daddy to take care of them and their demon offspring before they hit the Wall;

4. Single men aged 18 to 40.

That’s it.  Even in mega-churches, that’s all there is.  I mean, we’re talking thousands upon thousands of active members…and no real Christian single females.  Wow.  I went several times to Meadowbrook Church in Ho-cala, I mean, Ocala, because I had a friend who went there.  Big church, yet no singles group.  Just lots of #4 and a couple of #3, along with couples who weren’t married yet, so they got stuck in the “singles’ group.”  I went several times to the uber-huge and vibrant and conservative Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater in the Tampa Bay area with two friends.  Fantastic church, but again, no single women, just a couple of scantily-clad sluts in stripper heels and mini-skirts who obviously were there just to put in some church time; they sure weren’t looking for good guys, because they ignored the pew of all of us.  I emailed the church back in 2011, asking for info on the young singles group; never even got a response, obviously because they don’t even have such a group.  Here’s an excellent YouTube video about the subject from one of the gods of the MGTOW movement, Sandman.  Please listen to him:


 Couldn’t agree more.  Sandman is from Toronto, Canada, but his words still ring true here in the U.S.  No single good-looking female is going to go to church, because they are hot and they think they don’t need God.  That’s why there are no hot babe Christian women, and even those who are somewhat attractive are already married.  You can keep waiting and waiting for some Godly, good-looking maiden to come to your church, plop herself down on the pew next to you, and fall in love, but…it’s not gonna happen!! 

  Back in 2011, an extensive study was published by Stanford University regarding where and how people met their spouses or partners here in the U.S.  The data that was gathered spanned from 1940 to 2010, and here is the telling graph:
 
    Finding somebody at church was always not that large of a percentage, but now it’s down to literally nothing.  I mean, look at the graph: it’s plummeted to virtually zero!  In fact, almost every way of meeting a spouse/romantic partner has fallen, except for online and restaurants/bars, which have leveled off as of 2010; I imagine now in 2017, those numbers have fallen drastically as well.  Have you ever met a decent female at a bar or restaurant?  I’ve been to dozen upon dozens of them over the past several years and have met or even seen none at all.  And we all know how horrible online dating is.. Click here to view a blog I wrote about what’s left as far as single females are concerned.  So, as you can see, very few people are really meeting anybody anymore, but they sure as heck ain’t meeting them in church!!  If you think that you’re going find somebody at church, the evidence is overwhelmingly not in your favor, both from exhaustive studies and from your personal experience and mine.

  I’ve visited a number of medium-to-large-sized Southern Baptist and Assembly of God churches from Ho-cala to Whorelando to Tampa over the years, and have come up with nothing to show for it in the way of meeting decent women.  And you know it’s the same with you, so stop living in denial.  As Sandman succinctly put it, they’re not there, as they think they don’t need God.  And if they were there, they wouldn’t want you as they would be banging the bad boys outside of church; I’ve known a lot of girls over the years who did that, and you have, too.

   I used to go to a local church and was super-active there for years, and there was a guy there named David who—like most of the young men there—was very single. He was tall, well-built, and slightly attractive, compared to me, who is short, fat, and bald.  He just sat there and kept waiting and waiting for a perfect female to drop from the ceiling and land next to him up in the balcony where he was our light & sound technician.  He had a couple of chances for girls, but he backed out because they weren’t the world’s perfect Christian ladies (hint, guys: there are none anymore).  Waiting and waiting.  Well, David is now past 40, still a virgin, and still sitting there, waiting for a single woman to show up.  Hasn’t happened, and never will happen.  And ditto for you guys as well.
 
 Back in the day (2003 to 2008, mainly), I hung around over a dozen men around my age here in the north central Florida area who were Christian and single.  Now, the only one I know of who regularly goes to church is poor ol’ David.  Everybody else has left the local churches out of frustration, mainly because of the lack of women and the lack of reasons for them to even remain there.  Why bother going if you’re a third wheel, a leftover, awkwardly sitting there with couples while they incessantly talk about their spouses and kids.  Ugh!  You know full well you don’t belong there anymore, guys.  There’s no place in church for single males our age.  Time to leave.  Start this Sunday.  Seriously, guys.

  Am I saying that you should reject your faith?  No, not at all.  I hope that doesn’t happen.  What I am saying is that there’s no reason or no place for you to be in the houses of worship anymore and it’s only going to get worse as church attendance has been dropping continuously and steadily for over 15 years straight.  Perhaps you and your fellow Christian dudes could just meet in your homes and have your own worship services?  The first Christians did just that…and thrived!  Try it.  Meet at one of your homes or apartments, or even at a picnic table at a park.  Go for it.  Beats sitting in a sanctuary filled with couples and old geezers, listening to a seven-part sermon series on marriage and the family, now doesn’t it?  Admit it: that last sentence struck a nerve, didn’t it?  Been there, done that.  We all have.

  Single Christian men, it’s high time for you to ditch church and give up on finding somebody there.  Pack up and go, for your own good and for your own sake.  You’ll thank me.  I wish you all the best in your journey toward self-awareness. MGTOW!


                                                                                                Very Sincerely,

                                                                                                “Luke Johnstone”

I’m all Abuzz about the Babylon Bee!

Many months ago, I posted a well-read blog entitled "Rachel Held Evans, Episcopalians, and Millennials. Oh, my!". It dealt with how the Left and Cultural Marxists have overtaken segments of Christianity, particularly Mainline Protestant denominations like most Methodists, some Presbyterians and all Episcopalians. Well, now, finally, there is an awesome website that pokes fun of the cultural wars going on in the churches, and it’s written by Christians. And I love it much!

Although I am not really a practicing Christian, I still come from a fairly Evangelical, Christian Conservative background, so I side with those people and agree with much—but not all—of their morals and values and some of their faith. That faith is under constant attack from the liberals, and that vociferous attacking has gotten much worse in the past several years, mostly notably since 2009, when the most anti-Christian, pro-Muslim, far-left Marxist president took office here in the United States. From Christian bakers having their businesses shut down and their lives threatened by countless thousands upon thousands upon thousands of gays and their left-wing (((handlers))) simply for being a bit uncomfortable about catering a gay wedding, to people being thrown in jail for standing for Godly principles to climatologists officially proclaiming that Christians should be imprisoned if they do not bow down and worship the new god of scientists and progressives, the Almighty Climate Change. And this is just what’s happening nationwide in everyday life, not even including online. On people’s internet life, Christians are lashed, bashed, lectured, ridiculed, threatened and doxed simply for having a faith and values system that has been practiced by literally billions of people around worldwide for 2,000 years. Almost all internet articles, comments and forums dealing with faith are decidedly anti-Christian, but there is a glimmer of hope.

One glimmer. And it’s the Babylon Bee!




Think of the brilliant satire news site, The Onion. And now take away all the profanity and the blatant anti-conservative, anti-Christian articles that have permeated The Onion since its inception. There you have The Babylon Bee. It’s being called “The Onion for Christians.” Keep in mind that The Onion is from the Wisconsin/Minnesota area, where there are no Christian Conservatives of any kind, just atheists, liberals/socialists/Marxists and Muslim extremists, so many of the latter now that the FBI has stated that Minneapolis/St. Paul has “an ISIS problem.” (their words, not mine). So naturally, The Onion will have an open slant against anything on the Right. Not the Babylon Bee! Satire for real Christians, by real Christians. Finally! And it’s good. Really good.

The Babylon Bee is the brainchild of Adam Ford aka Adam4d, who writes Christian comics, some I like, some I’m not too crazy about. He and his team of writers—which include submissions by writers who are fans of the site—dish out fake news story after fake news story, some funny, some sad, all satire. Mostly, Adam4d and his writers poke fun at the phony Evangelical Christians: “healing” and “Prosperity Gospel” televangelists and their moronic followers, as well as mega-churches and hypocritical Christian bands and groups. Almost every single story published on their website and Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages is dead-on when it comes to their criticism and satire of them, and badly-needed in an age where there is no discernment going on, it seems. The Bee also lets loose on the Mainline Protestants aforementioned, and for good reasons; those pathetic, dying denominations have become an albatross around the necks of any real Evangelical. The Bee exposes them and their Social Justice Warrior stands, as well as their militant pro-gay extremism, pro-abortion, pro-feminism, anti-white, anti-male, unholy political stances. Politically, Babylon Bee makes fun of both major presidential candidates—as well they should—but reserve the most savage articles for Hillary Clinton, again, for good reason.

Because of all of this, those “Progressive Christians” are enraged over the Babylon Bee. All of them are Methodist or Episcopalian, which is no surprise, seeing how unbiblical those Mainline Protestant denominations are nowadays. For some reason, these Social Gospel adherents assumed that this website was going to be about bashing Evangelicals and Christian Conservatives; I suppose since all other religious sites are like that (namely Relevant Magazine and HuffPo Religion), these ex-hippies, hipster Millennials and pseudo-Christians thought they were going to enjoy yet another Internet page aimed at humiliating and scourging those of Godly faith. Well, they sure were wrong! They had another thing coming, and then some! On the Bee’s Facebook page, after any controversial fake article published that “offends” their thin skin and violates their “safe space,” a hoard of the Mainline members say things like, “The Babylon Bee should stop writing about politics! My lesbian, feminist minister is offended and I’m unfollowing!”

K, bye! See ya! Peace! Deuces! Toodles!

For every leftist that stops following the Bee on Facebook, ten good people start following. The FB page has well over 110,000 Likes so far, and it’s only been around for a few months. When it comes to Evangelical Christian pages, that’s a huge number, because most Christian sites can barely get a few thousand Likes after years of being around. The number of Likes and followers is rising significantly every single day on both their Facebook and Instagram accounts, and that’s not even including their main webpage.

So if you like funny and totally spot-on social satire from a decidedly Christian viewpoint, then please check out, Like and follow The Babylon Bee! It’ll pollinate your soul, creating delicious honey for your life, even though sometimes it might sting. Now I’m going to buzz out of here, because I’ve run out of puns. Here are the links to the website and its Facebook counterpart:

Rachel Held Evans, Episcopalians, and Millennials. Oh, my! (UPDATED)

***UPDATE as of 5-13-19! Rachel Held Evans has just died at the age of 37, possibly of encephalitis. Shortly before her very untimely death, she was surrounded on her death bed by vulgar, blasphemous lesbians, feminists and other heretics. What a way to go. One less Democrat voting in the 2020 election, at least***

Gentlemen, this is not going to be your typical blog post found here on my incredible and awe-inspiring Blogspot. In my very first post, Blog Cherry Popping!, I mentioned that I would write some about religion. Well, here is such an entry! It does, however, involve a young woman and bad things she is doing, so it can sort of tie in to some of my previous posts. But if you’re not interested in a blog about Christianity, I understand. Here are a few posts that haven’t gotten as much attention as others, so please check them out:

http://faceupfacethefront.blogspot.com/2014/12/willy-wonka-takes-on-single-mothers.html

http://faceupfacethefront.blogspot.com/2014/12/willy-wonka-takes-on-single-mothers_27.html

http://faceupfacethefront.blogspot.com/2015/01/far-far-away-from-american-women-thats_16.html

OK, for those that stayed, let me explain something. I was raised in a conservative Christian home, Baptist, to be exact. When I became an adult, I left the insanely rigid Fundamental Baptist (ugh) route and became a Southern Baptist (yay!), which is quite a bit more moderate, believe it or not. I was a devout Southern Baptist for several years and technically, I still am a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, despite not going for years. I had a catastrophic falling-out with some people at my local SBC church, and I haven’t entered it since, obviously, but I also haven’t tried any other churches since they all suck here in the White Trash Mecca; useless, useless, cliquish, old people’s and families-only churches here. Since I have higher education, I of course do not believe some tenants of Evangelical Christianity and could almost be considered as having no religious affiliation, which is all well and good. I nevertheless defend and endorse Protestant Evangelicals and Christian Conservatives and stand up for them, as they are under constant and vicious attacks daily now by the liberals simply because Christians believe and stand for something that liberals do not.

That brings me to Rachel Held Evans, an American woman a year and one month younger than I who is basically become a voice for pseudo-Christian Millennials. She is mildly attractive, except for having a really big and wide nose, which is quite off-putting; I’d still do her. She was raised a Christian Conservative here in the South and for years, wrote books and essays about her experiences in the church, usually quite positive. Her blog site has become increasingly popular and she is in constant demand for internet and TV interviews.


Well, in recent years, particularly since 2012, Evans has become increasingly negative and abrasive toward real Christianity, and now uses her Twitter account to almost weekly bash the church and ridicule it with passive-aggression and sarcasm, the latter being the main attribute of liberalism when it comes to arguments. Like all young women, she is now a blatant liberal and possible feminist; amazingly, she is not single, as all single women are like that and most married women are not; Evans has been hitched since immediately after college, unfortunately typical of Christian women. Three years ago, Mrs. Evans published a diatribe for CNN against Evangelical Christians called “Why Millennials are Leaving the Church.” Basically, she said that churches need to kowtow to the fleeting wants and personal desires of the Generation-Y bunch so they will either come to church or stay there. Here is a fine rebuttal of her drivel: http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevinwax/2013/08/01/why-millennials-are-leaving-the-church-a-response-to-rachel-held-evans/?comments

Now here in 2015, Rachel Held Evans decided she couldn’t take any more of those pesky Evangelicals who just aren’t cool enough for her liking and has now started going to an Episcopal Church in Cleveland, Tennessee. Yep, good ol’ Mainline Protestant, the segment of Christianity that is dying the fastest. The Episcopal Church is as far to the left as you can go and still call yourself a Christian. Episcopalians have no faith system, no core beliefs, no values, no Godly convictions. They have become extremely over-the-top welcoming and downright obsessed with the LGBT movement and many of their ministers are flaming gay guys or feminist lesbians with openly anti-Biblical, left-wing agendas, including the woman at the local Episcopal Church in Okahumpka (south of Leesburg). The amount of foolishness that is spewed from the pulpits of all Episcopal churches every Sunday is alarming and nauseating. The Bible is NEVER preached, but plenty of Social Justice Warriors get behind the pulpit and teach about global warming/climate change, white guilt, and giving people endless welfare and having as many flamboyant gay weddings as possible. Some of this nation’s most corrupt and anti-American presidents, senators and congressmen have called themselves “Episcopalian” just to say they were Christian. Simply a dreadful religious denomination.

Liberal, godless, anything goes, feminist, gay-coddling, ever-shrinking Episcopalians. And Rachel Held Evans has immersed herself in it and says that if Christian churches know what’s best for them, they better act in the same manner and perhaps they won’t die off as quickly as she thinks they are. Evans says she likes her new-found denomination because of the “liturgy,” which is a nice way of saying “lots of Catholic-esque chants and rituals that are to be found NOWHERE in the Bible.” Of course, her sect doesn’t read or even believe anything about the Bible, so I guess that’s a moot point. Evans also states this:
>

Uh, huh. So in order to get the young people to think that Christianity is hip and cool, they need to become just like the Episcopalians? You mean the soulless, cold, spiritless Mainline Protestant denomination that has no young people? The one that has lost the majority of its members in just the last 20 years? The one that has been predicted to become extinct within 30 years? That one?? ORLY? Here’s what one anti-Christian bitch named Haley (hot girl’s name) had to say about Godly churches and why she and her ilk refuse to set foot in them:
>
Yeah, maybe it’s because your “ideas” suck, honey? Reality, much?

Men, I AM a Millennial! I was born on July 2nd, 1980. Most sociologists say that Generation-Y began in ’80, with some of them saying that it started in the middle of the year. That would make me one of the very, very first of this generation! And I DON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS WHAT THE MILLENNIALS THINK ABOUT THE CHURCH! The most anti-God, immoral, selfish, arrogant, narcissistic, liberal generation this nation has ever seen, and the church is supposed to kiss their condescending asses and throw away 2,000 years of convictions, morals, values and faith just to get some 23-year-old pothead hipsters in the pews? Seriously? All we need to do is have drag shows on Sunday? Some gay weddings with feather boas and ass-less leather chaps? Climate change seminars with all these atheist scientists as the guest speakers? Visible arm and neck tattoo expos? Obscene, profanity-riddled, blasphemous comedy shows? Sermons (with live demonstrations) on what lube works best for gay anal sex? I don’t know about that, but Astroglide works great on anal with girls; just throwing that out there. Here’s an excellent comment from a man named Ken about Evans and her decrees that Evangelicals need to become hip, cool liberals:


Rachel Held Evans has become the darling of the liberal media as CNN, the Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Salon, and similar vile sewer sites who interview her, loving how she has rejected Evangelical Christianity in favor of feel-good leftie pseudo-Christianity. Mrs. Evans is hip and cool to the (((mainstream media))), she’s liked because she belittles the faith that everybody in the MSM despises and ridicules with rabid fervor. Evans has spent the past few years trying to gain acceptance—and money—from the media and the Millennials, and it looks like she has now accomplished just that. I guess Evans has never read the words of Jesus Christ in Mark 8:36 and 37. Guys, steer clear of that confused apostate, Rachel Held Evans! She is anathema to any real Christian and/or conservative.
