Can you believe in God or higher power and be MGTOW? Also, are there any other "Believers" out there?

The Bible actually states that if you can live without a wife you should.

I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do. (1 Corinthians 7:7-8 RSV)

"For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it." (Matthew 19:12 RSV)

Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord [i.e., the Lord has not spoken directly on this] but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. I think that in view of the impending distress it is well for a person to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage. (1 Corinthians 7:25-27 RSV)

I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. (1 Corinthians 7:35 RSV)

I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short: from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the form of this world is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:29-31 RSV)

I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband. (1 Corinthians 7:32-34 RSV)

If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry -- it is no sin. But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well. So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better. (1 Corinthians 7:36-38 RSV)

Mgtow stands for men going their own way, not athiests go their own way, so yes, you can believe in God or higher power and be Mgtow.

Sunrise hoodie is a Mgtow content creator and is religious, so as M Krafts and many others. And not just Christianity, I know buddhist mgtows, muslim mgtows, hindu mgtows, etc. So no, you are definitely not alone.

Saved at 19. Spirit baptism at 32. Red-pilled and MGTOW at 37.

Neoshining · 2017-12-05T04:54:01+00:00

I'm a believer, you're not alone.

2017-12-05T02:12:10+00:00

I don’t see why not? I’m an agnostic myself but I don’t see anything wrong with it.

appserius · 2017-12-05T06:17:47+00:00

I cannot think of a guy going his own way more than Jesus did. He shunned a wife , grew a beard, wore shitty shoes, loved to fish and gave no two fucks.

andreas-mgtow · 2017-12-05T03:38:39+00:00

It's just one more pill. It can be a useful temporary crutch, but it only betrays lack of true inner strength. Long term, it is just another layer of servitude, this time to an invisible all powerful revengeful being.

I do right or wrong from my own free will, not in fear or to ingratiate myself for some reward to an omnipotent master.

gods_bones · 2017-12-05T04:46:27+00:00

Anyone who doesn't believe in a spiritual side is clearly not paying attention to what has been happening. Even as a former atheist, I have completely discarded my disbelief after doing research in the past 2 year. Phenomena such as The Mandela Effect (/r/MandelaEffect) shows that the veil is thinning. So you might say that going MGTOW is a major part of mens spiritual awakening.

aenigme · 2017-12-05T05:58:27+00:00

As long as you are peaceful and aren't obnoxious about your beliefs, you do you and I'll do me.

Stratahoo · 2017-12-05T09:36:35+00:00

Sure, you can believe whatever the fuck you want. But, I must say, it really does surprise me just how many MGTOW on this sub are legitimately religious. I mean, we've all seen the hard truth, and cut through the lies of females (and this is very often a difficult, life-changing experience), yet so many here still cling to obvious lies and untruths of religion. It might be because a lot of people here are more right wing than anything else, and religion goes hand-in-hand with conservatism I guess.

I just find it odd that MGTOW who have applied the most rational, evidence-based, scientific criticisms of female nature, refuse to apply the same things to their religious beliefs.

Why is being MGTOW and belief in God exclusive of one another?

PhDinIDGAF · 2017-12-05T02:51:23+00:00

Faith can fill a need many people have, either temporarily or over the course of their entire lives. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm reminded of a couple I know personally who lost their 2-year-old son to an extremely rare disease. Their faith helped them come to terms with their loss and continue being active in the community. In the end, both they and many other people benefited.

Too many people are concerned about being "right," and not enough about every individual figuring out what's right for them. The latter is arguably right in line with going one's own way.

Of course, as a MGTOW, you should always be questioning whether the things your religious community, if you belong to one, asks you to do are in your own best interests. For example, getting married to a born-again-virgin and having lots of children may be in the best interests of your religious community, but it's definitely not in yours. That really goes for any group you may belong to.

Dzartovian94 · 2017-12-05T04:09:55+00:00

Religion is fine, my perspective is that Jesus died for humanity sins and it's imperative that you as an individual try not to commit sins as a sign of respect. Religion as any other institution has become infested and corrupted by people and so you should value your own prosperity over the religious "community" and frankly, just avoid the gynocentric circle jerk.

I'm not religious but I believe that a society with a strong moral imperative and rule of law (such as the one set by the Christian god) is far superior to a society of relativistic animals.

RighteousSouljah · 2017-12-05T06:43:09+00:00

The bible is the most patriarchal and mgtow book in the world. Read it and youll see. Its the most red pill. All throughout it warns men about women.

TexasBison · 2017-12-05T10:26:58+00:00

Christian, checking in.

DarthCallidous · 2017-12-05T14:44:35+00:00

I'm a MGTOW Christian. 25, been MGTOW for a little under a year.

2017-12-05T14:51:58+00:00

Why not?

Many of us are believers. And Ron Paul-ish... ;)

Aussiewolf82 · 2017-12-06T00:48:26+00:00

Gnostic mgtow here. Mind you it gels well with my beliefs as I shouldn't be procreating anyways.
