Spartan Christianity

The Effeminate Man

The lack of any real trials or persecution are also to blame for the weakness of modern man. Why does man need strength at all? There is no real demand for it.

“ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Most men in the religious work are weak and soft. 99% of them are corpses of what once was masculinity. The Shell is a man, but the inside is nothing but weakness and ovaries.

Certain ideologies give birth to specific types of men. Conservatism gives birth to dogmatic traditionalist men. Liberalism gives birth to weak, ignorant and effeminate men. This feminization of man is a problem that pervades the Church. Womanly men are an abomination to the masculinity of man, and you can thank modern feminism that these womanly men exist.

The lack of any real trials or persecution are also to blame for the weakness of modern man.

Why does man need strength at all? There is no real demand for it. The growing demand for strength is much more subtle and most do not recognize it for what it is. It is the talk of women about how there are “no eligible men in the Church to marry” (you can thank helicopter moms who babied their sons until they essentially transformed into daughters with penises).

It is the talk of the unwise aged who complain about the new generation. And it is the effeminate dress of the weak men, walking into the Church with shorts as if it was a social club or some homosexual nightclub. Modern liberalism and feminism has given birth to the most effeminate generation of our lifetimes thus far. Religion has been feminized with regards to sex as well.

It is also difficult to do anything about effeminate men.

Very few weak men are willing to change, just as very few men would be willing to read this article. No one wants to be a man anymore, it is too difficult. No one wants to do the work and do things that once were masculine. Now we live in the age of alternative rock (because hard rock is too “angry”), homosexuality (which is fundamentally anti-masculine) and the deification of patheticism.

Boys boast of their physical and mental weakness and do nothing to build character or integrity that is required of men. Most men wouldn’t survive life just 200 years ago, much less during the time of the life of Christ. They make jokes about how tough girls could beat them up, as if they are headlining Comedy Central (They satisfy the “no testicles” requirement to be on Comedy Central, so this wouldn’t be surprising).

The only thing we can do is improve ourselves.

The effeminate will not strengthen their feeble knees, so they will be utterly destroyed by life.

We have time on our side right now, and we must use it to build the strength of character and willpower that will last a lifetime. That is the Spartan way. That is the way of men.

Improve yourself and purge the epicene. Be a man. Reject the modern notion of what it is to be male. This day is a chance to be more masculine than you ever have been before. Take advantage of it or die in your weakness.

Mantra

Masculinity or death, there is no other way.

Application

As with any characteristic, masculinity is built on a foundation of microscopic character traits. Masculinity is built one brick at a time. Today you just pick one trait and stick to it.

Stop lying.
Quit saying “I feel” in front of every sentence like a prepubescent girl.
Stop looking at pornography like a voyeuristic child.
Chop some wood.
Pound the iron.
Don’t go for a jog like a frail, paltry fat boy, instead go for a sprint like a man.
Read.
Stop playing video games and watching sports, go play some real sports.
Violently pursue your goals.
Go to work.
Be a man.

Be the Spartan

Conduct Yourselves Like Men.

Make The Most of Your Time

We have only so many hours to exist in physical form, so we need to budget them effectively. We need to arrange all the tasks we need to accomplish so our life isn’t a complete and utter waste like it is for most betas in the Church.

Time ticks away constantly, you can sit and watch it happen.

“Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom”.
Proverbs 90:12

Every day we are approaching our death, and this gives everyday value. Man would accomplish very little if he could live forever, because he would have no reason to accomplish anything. The stone age would have been extended several thousand years without the constant approach of death.

You have the choice to either be sad that life is quickly coming to an end, or you can distract yourself every day with work and progress.

Is work really a distraction? Absolutely. Because unless you have developed the fortitude of mind to be able to stomach the fact of the inevitability of your death, you need to distract yourself. This is why very few men can sit down and be alone with their thoughts.

While it is true that we believe that we will go to heaven upon death, that makes death no less scary. Death is still unknown, dark and lonely. Time is the only barrier between us and death. For this reason we must make the best use of time every single day.

Pathetic boys waste time, men make the most of every day.

Boys burn time away with frivolous activities while men build disciplines and better the lives of others with their work.

Time is slipping away, my friend, what exactly are you doing with your time? Watching football for six hours on Saturday? Do explain how that is benefiting you in your life.

Are you more intimate with your sports and video games than you are with your wife? Probably. Change now. Stop being the beta, the loser and be a man. Budget your time, spend it on things that matter. Focus and do something with your pathetic and meaningless existence.

Mantra

Time is all that is between me and death, so I make this day one of value.

Application

Stop blowing away time. Install Rescue Time on your computer. It will keep track of how you spend your time and give you statistics based on how much time you waste.

Outside of that, write down how you spend your time every day for a week. Don’t live differently than you normally do and lie to yourself for the week, do what you normally do and write it all down in 15 minute or half hour blocks. I guarantee that you are wasting your life, and you will know this after examining your time budget after a week.

Have you had bad breaks in your life? Is life unfair? Are some people overnight successes? No. Absolutely not. Have some ownership because your life is exactly how you created it by all the choices you made. Wasting every day and complaining is how you built your life, and today is the day that stops.

Conduct Yourselves Like Men.

Character

“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:3-5

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’”
1 Samuel 16:7

Character: the internal code of conduct that we stand by. The collection of values, mindsets, and philosophies within the mind of man.

People often talk about “building character”. They usually use the phrase as a way to justify giving you a very undesirable task. Why do they say “building character” instead of “getting character”, or “acquiring some character”? Because the character of the individual is built one decision at a time.

Just like anything else in life, every loser wants instant results, and everyone who succeeds knows that success only comes after a long duration of work.

Character is built by small and repetitive action. And it is only noticed by others after a long period of construction.

An individual’s character is a set of defining traits that distinguish that individual from everyone else. To be set apart from all other men is the result of being different from them in hundreds of small ways; ways that you may think do not even matter.

You drop trash on the ground, so you pick it up and throw it away. Most people just leave it there, after all, someone else is paid to get it for them.

You take your shopping cart all the way to one of the designated areas instead of leaving it in the parking lot. Most people just leave the cart in everyone’s way. After all, there are people who get paid to collect those and return them to the store.

You stay at the job you hate until the hours you agreed to work each day are fulfilled. You could dart out at 4:56 p.m., but you don’t, you have character.

Or maybe you don’t do any of these things. Maybe you allow the small details of life to slide by because they are “unimportant”. Take a good look in the mirror, what you will see is a man who lacks character. It is nothing more than the cumulative result of hundreds of small choices like the ones listed above. They aren’t any big deal, or so you think. But when added together they mean more than when they are examined individually.

Any man who will slack off and make excuses in the little endeavors of character will do so in the great endeavors.

Do you really think you will suddenly “snap out of it” when everything is on the line, or when it actually matters? No, you will fail. Your lack of character will have compounded over those small choices, leaving you as just another loser, like everyone in the world and just like most men in the Church. Don’t be those weak, pusillanimous me, have some character. Be a man. Give the Church a good name.

Mantra

Every small action I take reflects my character.

Application

Start actually taking those small actions. You will never build any character without those small actions that seemingly “don’t matter”. It is really that simple. Not always fun or convenient, but simple.

Then you repeat those small actions every day. Eventually you begin to associate them with your identity as a man of character. If you put two days of action together, it becomes easier to get that third day as well. Now you have momentum on your side. Now you have very little reason to ever be that same person who lacked character ever again.

With the momentum, you add more positive traits, more small actions, new actions that make you better as a man. Add up all these small decisions and you are a man of character.

Conduct Yourselves Like Men.

The Work Ethic of Man

Work ethic is built daily. As with anything else in life, you have to acquire the correct mindset before you start the process of change.

Work Ethic is the capacity and ability to perform intense or large volumes of work without complaining and while maintaining enthusiasm.

“He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich”.
Proverbs 10:4

“The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.”
Proverbs 12:24

Work ethic will forever be a predominant differential between masculine men and beta males.

It may not be the differential in success itself, because someone can always ride the wave of their natural talent to moderate success. However, this does not make them masculine, it makes them lucky. To put your hand to the grindstone makes you masculine. To use that work ethic to build the strengths and correct the weaknesses of character is where the spirit of man rests.

Each generation wants to blame the following generation for being lazy and having no work ethic. The first problem with this accusation is that the people who are complaining about the next generation are the same people who raised the next generation. The second problem is that every generation is riddled with the lazy no matter where you look in history. No generation is special, and none misses out on their fair share of scobblelotchers.

A weak generation complains about another generation instead of doing something about it or at the very least taking ownership of the fact that they produced that generation. They complain about the very children they created. It would be the same as a carpenter finishing putting together a nice table, examining it and then complaining, “Wow, they just don’t make things how they used to. Look how this piece of garbage turned out”.

Work ethic is built daily.

As with anything else in life, you have to acquire the correct mindset before you start the process of change. You must decide to have a great work ethic before you can start making one. Just as you must decide to build a great physique before you start training to create it.

Work ethic extends beyond your 9-5 job. The weak have a work ethic only at work. Anyone can generate a work ethic from the ether if someone is paying them to do so, but that is not what a man does. A man comes home after his work and immediately begins to work on things that will improve him personally. A man cranks out his habits and disciplines when he gets home at night or early in the morning before he works. He does this work like a machine. He reads, writes, builds, trains or does whatever he sees fit. A man does not plop in front of the television for a four hour “decompression” session.

Weak boys try to take the edge off, men try to get the edge.

Work on yourself in your off hours, it will increase your value to everyone around you, from the company you work for to your family at home. Do your work to the highest possible level, it is in this work that you build confidence in yourself and in your character as a man.

Mantra

All work I do is done to the highest possible standard of work.

Application

Work ethic truly manifests in the small details of your work and life. Work ethic determines if you do a whole job or whether you skip out on the small details you think no one will notice. Even if no one notices, you notice. You recognize your own lack of character and integrity. If you are just starting to build work ethic, this is where you start, in the things no one will notice. If you can discipline yourself to work on things no one will see, then when the time comes for others to see your work, you will be mentally equipped to do a full job.

Go the extra mile when no one is looking. Pick up the trash on the ground near your work area even if you think you are “above it”. Do the jobs that seem below your pay grade. Do the extra repetition in your training. Write the extra sentence in your book. Most importantly, do not clock out of work ethic when you get home. You need to work at home too. Have projects or books to train your work ethic at home because only betas come home, turn off their work ethic and turn on the television. Be a man, do the work. Be Successful.

Conduct yourselves like Men.

Success: Why Success is Not Evil

KEY: Weak religious men assume that wealth confers villainy and that poverty confers righteousness.

“The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.”
Genesis 39:2-5

Weak men in the Church hate success. In fact, they point to success as a sign of worldliness and materialism. At the same time they point to their own lack of success as some kind of perverted virtue.

KEY: Weak religious men assume that wealth confers villainy and that poverty confers righteousness. Success is not Evil

However, lack of success is easily traced to our lack of work ethic or, quite simply, to the fact that what we do is not valued by society. A person’s paycheck represents nothing more than the value of their skillset in the marketplace.

Success doesn’t care about your natural gifts, it only cares about work. Not merely work in the workplace, but work done researching the best jobs, researching the highest value skills to develop, and spending time improving your value to society. Most weak men aren’t successful because they studied something stupid in college, wasted time walking to girls and playing beer pong, and didn’t work on developing marketable skills while they were there. It is as simple as that.

Are there cases where someone does everything right and works hard and still comes up short in the marketplace? Sure, but those are the rarest cases.

Most religious betas will clock in 25 hours a week or more at their television set, but scoff at the man who spends 60 hours at his job, accusing him of being “worldly”. Irony, anyone?

Success isn’t evil. In fact, if we do our work “As to the Lord and not as unto men” (Eph. 6:7), then we absolutely should be successful in whatever we do because our work ethic will be unparalleled.

Examine the lives and character of Job, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. These men were extremely wealthy, and yet they did not place their wealth above God. Their wealth was irrelevant to them because they knew Righteousness was most important.

Unlike what you hear in the Church, You can be righteous and be successful at the same time.

Be a man, be a success. If you can’t be a success, be the hardest worker in the room and that will be a success of its own.

Mantra

Success doesn’t care about righteousness.

Application

If you are being a beta and criticizing the successful merely because they have success, stop it now. Be a man for once in your life, look in the mirror at who is responsible for the way your life turned out. Sit on your bed and look back on your life and examine all the actions you took and the choices you made that landed you where you currently are. You will see that your lack of success is 100% your fault, and it is 100% your responsibility to change that fact. Look at all the time you wasted in college studying English and watching television. It’s not a matter of “evil success just passing you by”, it’s a matter of you being stupid and failing to manage time properly.

Today that changes. Start researching how you can improve your value to your company or start developing marketable skills on the side and change your life. Don’t waste it watching television.

Research what the fastest growing fields are and become a master of one of them.

Technology is growing at an exponential rate, becoming proficient in any form of tech would increase your value to society. Healthcare is a field that will never reach a point where it is not needed, but most men do not have the work ethic for healthcare of any form.

It is up to you to discover what is valuable in the marketplace and then build your skillset to maximize your personal value.

Conduct yourselves like Men.
