Yes, Stephen, but I think that you're referring to the many highly SECULARIZED Christian churches--which is to say, churches that seek legitimacy (and members) in a secular world by translating theology into the secular terms of fashionable political ideologies and even pop psychology. There are still a few Christian churches that have not succumbed to the seduction of secular ideologies, all of which promote hatred (a worldview that revolves around hatred and revenge) instead of love (a moral ideal of self-sacrificial love).
Hi Paul, while I agree with you about there still being churches that don't bow to secular ideology in order to fill pews (I attend one), there is still the problem of gynocentrism in the church as a whole. I've counseled several men who belong to more traditional churches who were summarily castigated and even ostracized by their clergy and congregations the moment the wife made complaints or accusations about them. I think it's fundamentally the same gynocentrism that underlies feminism. As they say, the safest thing that clergy can do from the pulpit is bash men and elevate women. That applies to every church I know about.
