Survey Explanation

For those eight of you who took my survey below, here is the explanation:

When this survey was initially conducted by David Murrow (Why Men Hate Going to Church), 95% of the respondents chose List #1...just as 7 of 8 (87.5%) of my respondents did. The two lists were taken from the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, by John Gray. List #1 includes the feminine values of Venus while List #2 has the masculine values of Mars. Murrow proposes that today's church exalts predominately feminine virtues and concludes that it is no wonder that men are not involved.

Further information cited in the article Check Your Manhood at the Church Door by Gary Yagel (byFaith, Issue 22/Winter 2008, WWW.BYFAITHONLINE.COM)...

"More than 90% of American men believe in God and 5 out of 6 call themselves Christians. But only two out of six attend church on a given Sunday. The average man believes in the reality of Jesus Christ but does not see enough value in church to be there."

This is a very interesting and challenging situation for me, and I would appreciate your perspective or experience.
