The Men's Room 20 - A more muscular Christianity?

[TheDallasBurns]

The least of the muscular Christians has hold of the old chivalrous and Christian belief, that a man's body is given him to be trained and brought into subjection, and then used for the protection of the weak, the advancement of all righteous causes, and the subduing of the earth which God has given to the children of men. - CHarles Kingsley 1857. This is the same thing seen in men like Eric Liddell but even better portrayed in men like Martin of Tours or Charles Martel

Oh goofy american me..always afraid their anatomy will shrink if they don't pump some iron. Sorry, trying to be macho and then justifying it through the bible is anything but manly.
