The benefit of having gone nearly 20 years before I was able to find a woman worth marrying, is that I have insightful, boots-on-the-ground experience when it comes to today’s Dating Culture.
I’m not saying that one MUST experience something to talk about it…but if you are going to talk about it…and WORSE…talk about it with a sense of Authority as if you KNOW what’s going on with very little research. Be prepared to have people look at you like Leonidas before he kicked that one dude into the pit.
Instead we won’t be screaming, “This is SPARTA!” We’ll be screaming, “THIS IS REALITY!“
If you believe in Jesus, all of your sins are forgiven. Everything you’ve done in the past and everything you’ll do in the future…it’s all forgiven by God no matter how many times you mess up. Why do I hate this message?
That’s the main message being pushed in this Men’s Group I joined at church.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe the message of Forgiveness should be repeated to those who are already deeply committed Christian believers. Yes…remind them of this message, that no matter how many times they mess up, God still loves them and they are saved. Preach it!
However…when it comes to my generation of lukewarm Christians, the ones who say they believe in Jesus and call themselves Christians without ever having picked up the Bible…not going to lie, dear readers, I hate preaching this message to them.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, we’ve seen a revival of sorts where millions around the world are turning to Christ, millions are turning to God and millions are filing into their churches for guidance and spiritual healing. Satan sees this, and he still at work.
As you see in ChishaZed’s video above, many “Christians” have gone to Tiktok to post their grief, shock and horror…because some Pastors took a moment to celebrate Charlie Kirk.
In the first video, you see a black woman talk with such sincerity, such distress. She claims her faith is under attack. She said that she had to walk out of church because her Pastor stood up there and praised, who she believes, “is a known racist”.
She says it had her questioning her faith and she doesn’t know what to do.
If you go to his Wikipedia page right now, they describe him as a Political Activist. But if you asked Charlie Kirk how he wished to be remembered…he said, “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.”
I originally titled this, “a brother who had courage to speak the truth” but Charlie Kirk wasn’t my mother’s son. Before 2017, I didn’t know he existed.
And yet…I shed tears for this man. For a lot of us, our unexpected reactions did feel like someone just killed our brother. But why? Allow me to explain.
In my last posts, I talked about the differences between Love is Blind Habibi and its American series. I debunked the claims of how the men are all “toxic and controlling.” It’s all about the power of choice and how some people hate that they’re simply forced to choose.
In my final post on the series, we’re going to examine the top three couples where bloggers absolutely hated the men. And of course, the reason why is because they stand on business. Allow me to explain.
I was going to write a long-winded essay on it (as is my way), but I just saw that Steven Crowder released a video in which he and his panel exposed the truth about our Modern American culture and how much they really hate straight Christian (and usually white) American men.
For those who don’t know, a snippet of a dating show has been made viral (60 million views) because you have a “cool and fun” girl like Riley go up and talk about how she likes to scuba dive and ski and was going to Australia…and yet none of the guys wanted her.
If you Google the show, the main criticism you’ll see is that the men of Love is Blind Habibi were supposedly “Toxic, Controlling, and Abusive” towards the women. We have to talk about it.
I had to give this point its own post because it’s a nefarious “high school” peer pressure tactic that’s been going on for years. What’s the tactic?
If you can convince people that something is bad, basically giving it a label like calling it racist, toxic or oppressive, it encourages others to 1) not follow that person’s example, 2) it discredits everything they do, and 3) it prevents others from openly liking/sharing/or commenting about how much they agree because they’re afraid of being labeled a bad person too.
Thus…it makes sense why they’d call the Men “toxic, controlling, and oppressive.” They don’t want other men to do what they did, and they want other women to believe that they’re being oppressed when really, they’re not.
For example, they absolutely hate it when housewives talk about how much pleasure they get from serving their men and taking care of the families over pursuing a career and being “strong and independent”. Let’s talk about it.
After watching Netflix’s “Love is Blind: Habibi”…it’s pretty clear that a lot of bloggers, Feminists, and content creators don’t want American men getting any bright ideas.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m a huge fan of movie critics like the Critical Drinker, Nerdrotic, Jeremy Jahns, and even a lesser known (but super funny) critic like Thorias Unlimited…but as a fellow writer, I have to say James Gunn’s Superman was really good and I’m glad I was able to see it in theaters.
Trust me when I say, I came into this movie fully prepared to be disappointed. Henry Cavill’s “Man of Steel” is literally one of my top 5 movies of all time. I was stubborn. I went into the theaters thinking to myself, “there’s only one Superman, and it’s Henry Cavill…”
Then I saw the movie. Brace yourself…spoiler alerts are coming. And cutting to the chase, as a Christian Conservative myself, I can tell you that I don’t think this movie was “woke”.
It was on July 3rd 2005, when I left home to start a new life in Tampa Florida. Since then, July 3rd has always been my own personal Independence Day. And since today marks the 20th anniversary of my leaving the nest…I thought I’d post some reflection.
If I could go back twenty years and talk to my 18-year-old self, what would I tell him? What would I tell that jeri-curled, 310-pound big black guy with no sense of fashion, no experience, barely any knowledge of the world, and yet filled inexplicably with uncanny optimism and determination.
