This ain't your grandma's church.
Organizers of the Church For Men say that guys are "bored stiff" in many churches today.
The Church For Men meets one Saturday evening a month, drawing about 70 guys dressed in everything but straight-laced shirts and neckties. The service features a rock band, a shot clock to time the preacher's message and a one-hour in-and-out guarantee.
The church is part of a national movement to reverse what many Christian pastors and ministers are calling a troubling trend.
Studies show that men are less likely than women to show up on Sunday mornings, and the reaction has been an emerging testosterone theology of sorts. Churches nationwide are now reaching out to men.
I thought that's why they have Hooters.
WHat's funny is it's not an episode of Married with Children or Family Guy. It's a real life attempt to hang on to something that ought to have died out already. Megachurches, JFLY t-shirts, in your face pundits...anything they can do to keep the bullshit flowing. But maybe people really are wising up.
