1. That women aren't competitive
2. That psychotic jealous behavior by a man is acceptible and expected
Skimming through "Eight Points that Show, Christian or Not, He's Still a Guy" I came across point #2, guys are competitive. I guess none of us women have ever competed for anything, so I guess it's hard for us to understand that. Right...
But the even more disturbing bit of information I ran across was this story and the advice that followed:
On the other hand, a man’s competitive nature often leads to insecurity and jealousy. It’s not uncommon for an unbelieving husband to be jealous of his wife’s church and the time she spends there, jealous of other Christians — especially other Christian men — and to be jealous of God.
One woman confided that her husband is forever accusing her of cheating on him with men from her church. “He flies into terrible rages and says some awful things to me at times. I can’t even repeat what he says. One time he even set a trap for me by leaving a note on my car while I was in church. It supposedly was from a man at church, asking to meet me for coffee.” She said she knew immediately it was from her husband, although he denied it. “What would make him do such a thing?” she asked.
The advice to this well-meaning Christian woman:
A wise woman will make an effort to appreciate her husband’s competitive instincts and will take his reasonable display of jealousy as a sign that he’s afraid of losing her.
I'm sorry, but if your "Christian" husband is stalking you, flying into terrible rages and trying to entrap you in some kind of lie, he needs a restraining order or some serious therapy, not the assurance of your love for him. What year is this? Did I step into a time machine? Sheesh! I don't even want to attempt to examine the 7 other points. There just arent' enough hours in the day.
