Thanks for your reply. As this is your personal blog, you have all the right to express yourself freely on it so I think it should be alright for you to talk about your faith here – how your faith has affect your live and etc – since you are just expressing yourself and not trying to convert anyone else.

Hi Shuo,

Your comments reflect the majority of people, and that’s my point – I find it just easier to adapt my vocabulary to fit into society. But maybe there’s a better approach I should be taking, so that’s what I meant by the article… should I be more public? But indirectly, how?

The ‘right’ light vs. ‘wrong’ light relates to what Christianity means. It’s not about who’s right or wrong (obviously a lot of people get defensive or offended over sensitive things like that).

So if people don’t understand what I mean, should I even bother? Or if I should try to explain, how?

This is why I used quotations around ‘club’ for church, because everyone has their own definitions of church that it doesn’t mean anything anymore. Which makes my post kinda pointless and just a reference for my own use.

In your previous blog entries, you did mention that you are a Christian so I don’t understand why you need to hide the fact in this blog by referring to it as “club”. I also do not understand what you meant by “wrong” light and “right” light. I am not a Christian but I am not one of those who anti “your club” as you put it. I just do not like people telling me that I am going to hell just because I am not a Christian or that I am worshiping idols or that I should become a Christian myself in order to see the truth and etc, etc. To me, it is good and very well if being a Christian has turned your life around but please do not try to proselytize everyone you meet.

I’m a fan of the french way (surprinsing, I know): for us faith is a private matter and should stay that way.
Doesn’t mean you have to hide it, but it does recommend not to try to evangelise others.

I tend to think religions are more dividing than uniting among mankind. That’s the issue of “club”: you feel friendlier with all the other in the club, but more different to all the others.

Those who care can still look it up your facebook profile (or mine!)

Anyway, just my own two cents (since you asked!).

PS. Your blog forced me to retype this comment because I did not indicate an email
