[QUOTE="Anomaly, post: 1413900, member: 19516"] Regarding memes, I actually unfollowed a Catholic group for men on Facebook because of utterly childish nature of compulsive meme posting. After awhile it’s not funny and I highly doubt many serious young men will be drawn to Christianity because of such infantile behavior. I appreciate humor and sometimes am compelled to act goofy in my spare time with friends and family; some people find me very funny though I don’t try to be. However the meaning becomes obnoxious and gets old fast. Another point I want to touch upon is Roosh’s articles regarding young men seeing the light. I think they are generally excellent and he certainly hits the nail on the head regarding life in our current hellscape and how we got here. I myself am in RCIA, have friends, a wife, two kids, and a career. My plate is full; so I can absorb the self-deprecation, sadness, remorse, and sorrow written about. However I do think the lack of variety in such writings is not compelling for young men who want to live Christian, satisfying, rational lives. Sure they can be reminded about what went wrong and what we are doing wrong, but it would certainly help to inform young men on what they must do with their abilities and talents to get from point A to B. Why not write an article on the Parable of the Talents? What could be more beneficial than that for exhorting young men to use their God-given gifts? Why not write articles on: Careers Investing (in a Christian way) Volunteering Exercise and nutrition Armed and unarmed self defense Home maintenance and gardening Child raising Marriage (including the concept of arranged marriage) Though not a baptized Catholic yet, I believe the last thing we need are more self-loathing mopey men around.
