While I do not endorse Roissy’s hedonist worldview, it is pretty sad when a secular atheist libertarian hedonist is making more sense than these two-bit metrosexual “Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild” preachers who infest the evangelical world.

Chalk this up to the latest sign that marriage — versions 1.0, 2.0, and coming to a theater near you, 3.0 — is a raw deal for men and an institution on the precipice of falling cliffside into a shattered heap of anachronistic uselessness. Wives are now leaving perfectly good marriages and their sacrificial beta provider husbands because they are bored. Naturally, they will be leaving with their husbands’ hard-earned cash to fund their adventures in swarthy saguaro hunting. Welcome to the Eat, Pray, Self-Love era of the Fall of America. Next stop: hyperinflation.

I found myself amused at the fetishists of MSM and their obsession with Julia Roberts, evidenced by their fawning over her lastest movie, Eat, Pray, Love.

You know that something with spiritual overtones is a crock of bovine ejectus when the world sucks up to it. The movie is based on an autobiographical account of a woman (Elizabeth Gilbert) who has an affair, and then divorces her husband and abandons her family to find her own happiness.

Instead of “enjoying the book”, we should call her for the selfish, destructive, degenerate acts that she inflicted on her family.

And yes, that happens in the Church; it is just wrapped in a more Christianized veneer. I know of a gal–a physician, disenchanted with her marriage–who, had a fling with another physician, who subsequently left his wife, and eventually married the doc after she left her husband. They are now medical missionaries. Oh, and did I say she and her ex had been small group leaders in their church?

I’ve never met a divorcee in the Church who was not “Biblically divorced”. They almost universally have sob stories about what an abusive, manipulative asshole their ex was. They talk about how they were “unequally yoked to a nonbeliever” and how they “Biblically let him go when he decided he wanted out”. When you’re a victim, nothing is ever your fault. Not even partially.

This is not to say there aren’t men who do the same thing; there are. But the no-fault divorce culture has triggered a slew of divorces–initiated mostly by the women–that have done our society one hell of a disservice.
