American trad-cons seem to be promoting a phenomenon that’s known in Japan as “Parasite Singles”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite_singles

Instead of getting married, pursuing a career, or doing anything that could be considered productive to society – parasite singles mooch off their parents for a good portion of their twenties. I’d consider it a form of feminism; a silent protest to the expectations Japanese society places upon young women. “Forget marriage – I’m going to go to the karaoke bar and party with my friends!”

I’m not really sure why American trad-cons would want their daughters to be parasite singles, it seems counter productive to their whole “traditional” agenda.

   “Ignore them and listen to your fiancee”

Don’t worry, I’m okay. I’m just amused by the social upheaval my engagement created. My family is a bit goody-two-shoes so the neighbors are enjoying my apparent fall from grace.

Nope. Like I said before – they’re traditionalists. They’re not advising me to get a degree and pursue a career. They’re just advising me to delay marriage so I can “find myself” [Is finding yourself a physical activity, or some-sort of spiritual quest? For a group of devout Christians, trad-cons sure spout a lot of New Age hippie mumbo-jumbo]

Buncha freaks in the middle of nowhere who think they can tell the rest of the world how then, they shall live…

You have fallen into the theonomic heresy that we will inevitably be rule on this world in Christ.

Ain’t so. May have been in the USA, but was never the case in NZ where the gov’t has been overtly secular since the 1870s.  And globally, the number of martyrs per year is increasing — mainly due to Islamic genocide. 

Where I agree with you (and Dalrock, who posted on this today) is that the US Church and NZ church has swallowed the feminist Kool – Aid and this is leading to destruction.   But moving into conservative positions and living that way will lead to opposition within the church and without.

Look at BF, who is doing the right thing. Against the guidance of all these “righteous women” who tell her to go and get a degree (and burn in lust).

But you don’t know me. Nor the bible.

We’re supposed to dominate the civilization with The Law and the righteousness that comes from it. This is nothing more than another dose of that “surrender” crap, a so-called “Christianity” with no spine nor a brain connected to the nerve bundle that runs through it.

Waaah!

Believe it or not, a mere 50 to 60 years ago sluts were shunned, the “Pick Up Artist” type was viewed with distain, clothing worn by both sexes was modest, family reigned supreme, movies and television, though many suspect for decades, were generally suitable for all ages, and the televised “news” was something the entire family could watch without having to hit the mute button to keep the children, let alone the adults, to hear what was being broadcast. Homosexuality was hidden rather than flaunted, there weren’t strip joints all over the nations cities, and in general terms, even in those same cities the streets were darn near empty by 11:00 at night. Businesses were generally run with the health of both the nation and the employees as mission one.

Now?

The usurers have become kings and both the whores and whoremongers rule the day. Christianity rolled over and bought into an idol, a false “god” that is all loving and all forgiving as well as one who is supposed to, like a “white knight”, come and rescue us from all of this, “male” and female alike. It’s a “no action” small “c” christianity that has done nothing but surrender on every front and never resisted a damn thing. Today, putting on the “Full armor of God” is a figure of speech, a metaphor, an absolute nothing. “Have you heard the Good News? Jesus loves you!”

Manly stuff.

Yeah. The one same fellow who said in Matthew, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Well we don’t like Him. We like this other “nice” (stupid, effeminate) god instead of that guy who said:”For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against
her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and a
man’s enemies will be the members of his household.

“Or how about the following in Luke? “Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no,
but rather division; 52for from now on five members in one household
will be divided, three against two, and two against three…”
Or this? Luke 22:36)
– “And He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it
along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe
and buy one.” Hell, He even told the apostles that if they didn’t heed the signs of His return and get out of town that He would kill them too! “We” don’t like “that” Jesus. We like the “love” Jesus.

And what, pray tell, is a spineless small “c” “christian” going to do with a sword? Nothing but wonder why he or she has one.

You aren’t “popular” because there is no reason on this earth nor in heaven to respect you. Righteous men of action gain respect. Their counterparts do not, and since wringing one’s hands are now the only visible “works” that today’s so-called and quite lower case “christians” engage in, well, the current incantation of the cafeteria belief is for effeminate losers, women, and no one else.

Have a happy and deluded day.

I know the connotations.  Admittedly, with my hobbies, you would find me bargaining for either hard disks or camera lenses — you can take the geek out of South Auckland, but he will still be a geek :-),
