Society of Phineas – The Best of 2014

It’s the end of 2014, so like before (2012, 2013) it seems fitting to dig into the vault that is the site stats and pull out what is the most viewed posts. That said, here we go, along with some summaries and reflections. Here are the top five most viewed posts of the site for 2014, irrespective of authorship date:

1. Single Christian Men Don’t Seek Christian Wives (#2) (08-03-2012)

This post continues to endure as a heavily accessed post on this blog that focuses on the church environment and the fact that church officials can’t seem to get past their blaming of men to see the factors that are on them to deal with that push men away from dating in church continues to be a favorite in terms of views.

2. So You Want Me To Man-Up and Marry That Slut? (12-11-2013)

My direct challenge to the pastors and other traditional conservative feminists that are pushing men to man up and marry those sluts has been a consistent favorite ever since publication. This post lays out all the other problem conditions involving marriage and challenges them that if (maybe) they address those things, maybe we can THEN talk about men marrying.

3. The Reason Why Men Reject Women (11-15-2013)

This post discusses the real nature behind women with respect to their idea of love, always a controversial topic in a feminist-steeped culture. It discusses via Scripture the requirements of love and proves that men are the ones who civilize women, not the reverse as the churches and culture is indicating.

4. Man up and marry a divorced single mother? Here’s what you propose. (05-04-2014)

My comeback post from my momentary blogging crisis. This posts talks about the Biblical sanction regarding divorce and remarriage. When you marry a divorced woman, you are indeed committing adultery.

5. 20 Reasons Why Men Don’t Get Married (11-30-2014)

My repost of TheMightyCheng’s comment on Reddit took off very quickly, providing the current one day record traffic for the blog and powering it to this position for the year. Very well done, this lists 20 more reasons besides the divorce grinder for why men choose to not marry.

Here are the top five authored this year:

1. Man up and marry a divorced single mother? Here’s what you propose. (05-04-2014)

2. 20 Reasons Why Men Don’t Get Married (11-30-2014)

3. What Keeps Men Out Of The Church? (09-30-2014)

My brief discussion of the reasons why men are kept out of the church, or are repelled from going to church and participating. While not talked about much, this topic always provides a good occasion for discussion, which occurred here.

4. Defending The Lie That Is Marriage (06-12-2014)

My controversial post pointing out that what is being called marriage today has nothing to do with God or the Bible. It also points out how many are defending marriage as “holy” and “sanctified by God”.

5. Does Fornication Matter When It Comes To Marriage? (08-05-2014)

This post asks whether Christian men should care about whether a woman has ridden The Carousel or not when considering her for marriage by addressing a feminist commenter, exposing the general motivations that exist for the opposition of spousal choice by prospective husbands.

I conclude this post by thanking all of you who have read this blog and those of you who have supported this blog by linking to it in your blog rolls and link fest posts. I offer the prayer of the hope that 2015 will bring much glory to God and blessing to all of those involved.
