I have found that one reason that I keep going to church is that it is a spiritual release for me. I think Black men in general have a problem going to church because they are raised in that Black vs. White context. With men it is either yes or no. Right or wrong. So when we backslide(as all people do) men tend to think of it as part of life and do not like the feeling of being judged in church by a pastor that has done the same if not more wrong. Going to church must be ritutal for young black men at an early age. I also think it comes down to how your parents enforce values on you. And in this society boys and girls are taught 2 different set of values. The values that women are taught fall more in line with what the church teaches so logically they will feel more at home.
