If it's most churches then you're probably contradicting yourself since Southern Baptist is the biggest protestant denomination in the US. Still, it'd be nice if everyone would just say Evangelical or conservative christian when they want to talk about the science/women/gay -hating Christians in the US. Protestantism is very broad, and lovely Christians aren't just confined to the Baptists.

By 'churches' I was referring to the organizations as a whole, like the Presbyterian church, or the Lutheran church, not individual churches, just to clarify.

And yes, there are lovely people in all faiths, as well as lovely regressive atheists. Some churches(imo the majority of protestant, but not all by any stretch of the word) try to curb the abuses commonly seen, but the abuses tend to be so high profile it taints everything.

But then, I'm the type who tries to see the best in all things, even if what we see on the surface is pretty loving damning.


Just to be clear, I still believe in P.E.N.I.S.

But that doesn't mean it's most of the churches, numbers don't work that way. It just means it's the biggest denomination. Taken together, all of the others are bigger.

So it doesn't try to shitpost or anything?

Nope, it just lurks there. Completely harmless.

quote:

It is always amusing watching the reactions of people who have heard of MGTOW for the first time. Bill clearly has no exposure to MGTOW beyond the article he read. His dismissive attitude is fairly mild.

MGTOW is a product of women. There is a mistaken assumption that MGTOW is some organized core of vocal men evangelizing other men to abandon marriage and relationships. This is not true. MGTOW is little but a rally flag; it is a group in the same way that those who hold a drivers license are a group.

Men who come to call themselves MGTOW have fundamentally come to the same conclusions about women, relationships, the legal system and so on. What they learned is that marriage is a scam; a legal mechanism of wealth transfer from the man to the woman. They see this scam rip apart men's lives all around them. They do not learn this FROM the MGTOW community. They bring these observations INTO the community. They see women, who, of their own free will, with glee and a sense of justified righteousness choose to exploit anti-male laws in family courts to gently caress men out of money and their children.

Furthermore, relationships with women are no better. As the phases of a relationship move from dating, to co-habitation, engagement, and marriage, a steady stream of ever growing expectations and demands is placed upon the man. His time becomes monopolized by a slow creep of "responsibilities" hoisted upon him by threat of arguments, pouting, and withholding of sex. This is done gradually but inevitably. It may take a woman a decade to completely break a man's spirit and replace it with the banal mediocrity of her image of what he ought to be and what he ought be doing as a "real man." Once he is completely crushed by this long siege, nothing is left of him but a beast of burden who is meant to bring home an ever larger paycheck so they can go on "vacation" or get that new living room set.

When you look into the eyes of a man in a "successful" marriage/relationship that has lasted a decade or more, all you see is sorrow and regret for a wasted life. This man would all but have killed himself by then had he not, for all those years, kept the single belief in mind that this life, the life he led, is what a happy life is suppose to look like. Knowing no better, as he has long ago dismissed his youthful joys and adventures as "childish", he sits in his mental prison in anticipation of death.

What MGTOW does is rally men to a single flag where they can all share these most obvious observations that have been all around them Each man in the MGTOW community shares their observations, which, when pointed out, are immediately accessible to other MGTOW through a reflection on their own autobiographies.

Why MGTOW is global and why is it unstoppable is not because MGTOW men are converting other men. It is because women are the same the world around, and THEY convert men into MGTOW by virtue of their nature. MGTOW are of all races, all cultures, and all ages. It is composed of millionaires alphas who have had hundreds of women and also neckbeards who may still be virgins living in their parents basement.

The thing that terrifies women the most is not that MGTOW is composed of loser virgins but that in fact it is not composed of loser virgins. MGTOW have taken their lives back. Shaming will not work on us. Neither will some herd morality appeal to being a "real man", or an "adult", or this or that .. blah blah blah. It just does not work anymore.

Everyone will need to get used to the idea that MGTOW is here to stay and that it is growing immensely every single year.

quote:

.......
Even if marriage is the best way to raise a child and grow a civilization, participation in marriage and breeding will not only put you through the torture of divorce rape and being used and exploited as a human ATM, but it will only grow humanity and the growth of humanity will only lead to even more torture, suffering, and destruction.

MGTOW is not only selfish in that you save up a lot of money for yourself. It is also selfless. You are making the world a better place.

quote:

MGTOW is a great choice. shame bill is too far in the system to see it without prejudice. look up Barbarossa MGTOW he is quite enlightned

MGTOW is Freedom and its global not just australia

For most religious people, this is all well and good. But that stuff is anathema to Biblical literalists, because their theology is extremely fragile and primitive and their solution to observable reality contradicting the Bible is to deny observable reality.

They mean you can watch bacteria in a lab change and evolve and the such. There are also exanples of proper speciation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation

If you start looking at well ANY of that. Like aknowledge the fact that bacteria can become drug resistant then you are in a difficult place.

So you say. Well it happens on a small scale just not a large scale. Which is why I say its a failure of imagination about out 1000000 years is a long drat time. And those micro changes add up.


It's not so much about a small scale in terms of creatures, it's more that it's OK to accept that species change over time (micro), but not that these changes result in new species or anything beyond (macro). Which falls apart once you pursue anything beyond the most superficial study of biology, but these groups tend not to encourage really deep pursuit of any knowledge.

Ok, so that was a long form "I'll eat what I want!" but how is a non-POC going to justify making anything ethnic/cultural at all? I mean these aren't starred Michelin chefs making English paella or Glasgow-style butter chicken, they're just a bunch of schlubs in their kitchen.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

What even is the point of that group? OP seemed pretty reasonable and helpful in making cheap, tasty food.

The only people I know going on about their spoons are always dickheads about it, too. That seemed pretty consistent.
