You've probably never heard that International Men's Day is on November 19th. These designated arbitrary dates don't mean much, but there is a clear contrast between the men's bastardized reactions and the extravagant fuss and pomp of International Women's Day. , March 8th.
For example, it is different from international women's dayInternational Men's Day Not officially recognized by the United Nations. Men should wear it as a badge of honor from a corrupt organization like the United Nations, but this is a stark illustration of the second-class treatment of men by the world's “elites.”
When addressing mental health, especially men's mental health, our mental health systems often lack connection to God's healing power.
The idea that men deserve support and recognition for their sacrifices and weaknesses has feminized our world and created important gender theory categories of masculine “oppressors” and feminine “oppressed” It undermines the New World Order's desire to divide the world into two.
International Men's Day was founded by Thomas Auster, former director of the now-defunct Missouri Men's Research Center at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. This day is also a day to raise awareness about abuse, violence, homelessness and suicide suffered by men. for example, Only 8% of workplace fatalities involve women. Men are far more likely to expose their bodies to occupational hazards, accounting for an astonishing 92% of workplace deaths.
Unfortunately, America in general is in a mental health crisis, and men are the ones suffering the most, fatally. Men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women. Although 50% of the American population is male, nearly 80% of suicides are male. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
last year, More than 50,000 people committed suicide In America. This is almost 17 times the number of people killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the highest number of suicides in history. Before the current onslaught, the year with the highest suicide rate was 1941, the ashes of the Great Depression. In 2023, Gallup reported on lifetime clinical depression and current depression. Both reached new highs.
As Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries recently pointed out: Every 10 years world happiness report The report reports on happiness in 143 countries by asking people to rate their happiness on a scale of 1 to 10. “The report reveals that Israeli youth, despite all the country's challenges, are the second happiest group of people in the world (just behind Lithuania).” Myers wrote. “Meanwhile, young Americans rank 62nd.”
America's happiness rankings have plummeted in recent years due to a decline in purpose and meaning, especially among self-identified liberals and progressives. However, men and women who attend weekly religious services are significantly less likely to die from “deaths of despair” such as suicide, drug overdose, or alcohol poisoning. According to research Graduated from Harvard University School of Public Health.
Similarly, the National Bureau of Economic Research, the farm team of chairs from the left and right of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, reported last year States reporting declines in religious participation also saw increases in deaths from despair, and vice versa.
Psychiatric Times published a literature review examining hundreds of studies And people of faith reported significantly lower rates of depression, suicide, and substance abuse.
It's no wonder then Progressives are more likely to be depressed.because they are much more likely to be atheists. Pew Research discovered 69% of atheists identify as a Democrat or Democratic-leaning, compared to just 15% who identify as a Republican and 17% as an Independent .
Regarding gender, Pew also found that while Republican atheists were slightly more likely to be male, men were far more likely to deny the existence of God, regardless of party.70% male, 30% female) than Democratic atheists (65% men, 35% women).
Atheism is also correlated with psychopathy. Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Babson College “People who are more empathetic are more likely to be religious. This is consistent with previous research that women tend to be more religious or spiritual than men; can now be explained by a strong tendency towards empathy.
When addressing mental health, especially men's mental health, our mental health systems often lack connection to God's healing power. Research has revealed a significant disconnect between the religious beliefs of the general population and those of mental health professionals. diary sociology of religion Psychologists were found to be the least religious of professors, with 61% identifying as either atheist (50%) or agnostic (11%). Similarly, harvard magazine Psychologists, along with biologists, were the least likely of professors to report believing in God.
In contrast, Gallup found that: 81% of Americans believe in God. Research by David Rosmarin (founder of the Anxiety Center) at Harvard Medical School highlights this gap. What Rosmarin discovered was Almost 76% of patients I sought spiritually integrated psychotherapy. But his team also discovered: 36% of therapists 19% expressed discomfort discussing spirituality and religion with clients, 19% said they had little or no inquiries about these topics, and 71% said they had little or no clinical training in this area. I haven't received it at all.”
Regardless of your political affiliation, based on mounting scientific evidence (you believe in science, right?), men are strongly linked to significantly lower rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide in life-saving faith communities. much less likely to participate.
mental health Often worse around holidays When feelings of loneliness increase. Represent your people and connect them with the healing power of God, saving lives and providing joy and peace.
