It is obvious that women are more spiritual than men, even in the church women takes 65% of the church population. Must it be so. I want to you to share your contribution about this.

Women are more spiritual than men because of these reasons;

They are less egotistical, less worldly, they are more sensitive, compassionate and loving, more mystical and get easily enlightened.

It is because they are easily deceived.

The few men that are spiritual are far more steadfast than the multitude of women that are spiritual...in my opinion.

very true.
Re: Why Is It That Nigerian Women Are More Spiritual Than Nigerian Men? by plaetton: 5:40pm On Jul 24, 2013
Many reasons account for this.

1.Women are more insecure in society, and therefore have a greater need for assurances of hope and supernatural intervention.

2. Women are economical disenfranchised in society, and therefore more vulnerable to the beguiling baits of con-men who tend to symbolise prosperity and steadfastness.

3. Women's minds are more attuned to fantasies than realities. Their minds gravitate more towards what they dream of rather than what is real. That is why women are addicted to soap operas, romantic fairy tales, white knights in shinning armour, the make-belief lives of celebrities, etc.

So religion, for women is an all-in-one package that contains soap operas, make-belief celebrity lives, and to top it all, a blond, blue eyes saviour knight in shinning armour, a prince of heaven.

So , religion is tailor-made for women.

Interestingly too, is the fact that most men subconsciously gravitate towards religion as means to get, and be in touch with the feminine aspects of their personality.

Also, I might add,
Most indigenous traditions are considered unfair and oppressive to women.

So, naturally, women are usually the first to embrace and hold on to any alternative tradition that liberates or promises to liberate them from the clutches of native traditions.
They are usually the first to renounce native traditions in favor of any religion that frowns at such traditions.

Bros, na bullshyt be dat in bold. Religion especially the abrahamic ones are mostly patriarchal and make for manly men. Take Jesus, Moses and Muhammed...were they in touch with any feminine side? You might be tempted to say Jesus but remember that the guy flogged guys at the church


That being said, I agree with the rest of your post.

It is true bros.
Its not about the religion itself, but about the type of people and why most easily get permanently hooked to it.
I notice a certain degree of femininity amongst religiously devout men.
Even for macho men, it serves as a backyard way to get in touch with their feminine side.

When you say "feminine," perhaps you mean "human."

There is nothing more masculine than a man who can conquer his own self/flesh/body.

One who cannot, I dont call "masculine" but "animalistic."

Arrant nonsense. You are made of flesh. To conquer one's flesh is to commit suicide or repress oneself....


This is why the catholic church is full of pervert reverend fathers. S.exually frustrated and repressed perverts.



But on topic. Women are more "spiritual" than men just like blacks are more "Spiritual" than whites because both women and blacks were/are oppressed and religion, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, claims to give freedom. Religion is the new slave master.

Thank you. Calling your fellow human a devil.....how very christian.

Hmn...Interesting analysis. But an aimless shot in the dark nevertheless.

Religion(Christianity to be exact) doesn't claim to give freedom, it IS Freedom. I was just like you ones, you know? Stumbling around in the dark, attacking believers for worshipping something they can't see. But look at me now, a testament that God is indeed real.

That's how I know you can still be saved @Logicboy03, sooner than later, you will be singing his praises like Paul in the Bible.

That's gross misinterpretations of the bible, and frankly I'm appalled. Some things weren't meant to be taken literally. And you also need to possess an evolved kind of understanding that can only be attained by faith to even begin to comprehend the true meaning of those quotations.

I urge you to take a look around you and tell me if all those things are been carried out today. In the old testament, a lot of verses are malevolent, but were all significantly diffused in the new testament.
Stop attacking the bible and Christianity with tunnel vision, cuz it's far more broader than that!
