It’s fun because it’s the contrary to me. It’s Christianity that made me understand that my life has no meaning, no goal, and that it’s okay: God is the master, he already redeemed the world in Jesus, the evil is already vanquished (even if obviously not dead yet, just like a dead wounded boar which is even more dangerous because it has nothing left to loose). I have nothing to do. It’s fear of being unworthy that makes me want to “merit” my life; but the Bible teach that life is a gift freely given. There’s no merit to search, and my worthiness is not losable. I just try to be the best person I can be, not to look for a reward of any kind, but just because it’s the right thing to do. And my numerous failures will never make me a failure. Christian or not, it’s hard for everyone: nobody’s a failure.
But, to be honest, most Evangelicals wouldn’t recognize me as a Christian anymore, especially the American one, from what I understood.
