You have no doubt seen all the extremely saccharine "Christian" threads pop up recently. Yes, they are annoying. In fact, most of them seem to be trolling.
Why does this bother me so much? For me, it's personal: I'm Christian. And by Christian, I'm missionary-working, Bible-studying, Latin-reading, Soul-Searching, Christian. I take my beliefs EXTREMELY seriously.
Now, I know this is not exactly a popular thing to be. The stereotype is that we are all mindless copers that want a Skydaddy to explain away the stuff that's mean and scary. I get it. I've heard it all. I'm not here about that.
I am here to try and show that not every Christian is an empty puppet, who regurgitated the same empty phrases ad nauseum. For some of us, we take it seriously, and respect that you have every right not to.
And to head off a couple of tangents:
Q: Religious people are dumb and hate science, right?
A: My whole family is religious. My father is involved in Bioengineering, my Mother is completing her Biotechnology Degree, and I am working on my Chemical Engineering Degree
Q: It's just a cope, isn't it?
A: Technically anything that brings you a modicum of peace is a cope. That's not why I'm religious.
Q: Why are you so annoying?
A: Tbh idk.
Q: Who asked?
A: No one.
