Jermayn,

Good post!

I think we are experiencing our rod (made by us) upon our own backs. Men do not like to sing because we have not valued that as a culture for the last century and a bit. We have failed to teach our boys to love that which is pure (etc) and good. We have accepted the lie over what it means to be a man.

I suppose your blog raises the question of; Biblically, what does it mean to be a man?

In my opinion one of the best books regarding this is called
Future Men. (Hope the HTML worked )

“Well done, good and faithful servants; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

What exactly will you rule over?

For your information, Mormonism might be patriarical, but there are more women than men who join or remain active.

The Muslim, Protestant and Mormon notions of Heaven are simple-minded. May I recommend traditional Catholicism to you and your readers?

Lots of little ‘helps’ getting there, and some reports, by saints, of what you may expect to find if you win a place there.

Men sing in the choir at traditional Latin Masses, and they are not self-conscious about doing do.

Modern (post Vatican 2) masses are effeminate, and men tend to stay away from them. They tend to appeal to women and children only, alas.

Once you start trying to appeal to your audience, rather than you God, in your religious rites, you are lost.

If you are in the presence of God, as the Apostles were on Mount Tabor, your instinct is to worship. When you are happy, you sing.

Hence the Seraphim circle the Throne, singing the Sanctus, eternally.

The Mormon Heaven is too simplistic? Wow, I have heard a lot of criticisms about Mormonism, but I have only heard the opposite about Mormon Heaven concepts. In fact, it is the very complexity that seems to cofuse and even make people angry. Yes . . . angry because of its unorthodoxy and to some blasphemy.

I can understand some ignorance of Mormonism shown on this blog. It is hard to understand especially when pre-conceptions are prefered to actual understanding. It is just amazing how sweeping the ingnorance is on basic information.

I am an indian christian,
and i have grown up with a lot of friends who are from different religions and I never found any differences between them….so why do you think there is (if) any different heavens for many religions.
