First and foremost

As indicated on my profile, I am a Christian.

And in spite of the way it is 'casually' thrown in there as one of the things that define me, it is in fact the main thing that defines me. Everything else derives from that aspect of myself.

The reason I have put those defining traits together in such a haphazard manner, is that this isn't going to be a "Christian" blog - meaning, it isn't going to be a blog that is mainly focused around Christian life, inspiration for such a life and so on.

Rather, it's going to be a blog that's written by a Christian. Everything I write is written with a Christian backdrop, but that's not always going to be the main actor in every blog post.

Christians have kind of a bad rep in 'reason-focused' groups in the western world. I think part of that is that we're not making ourself visible as serious actors in those groups, and we define our own framework of thinking. That's fine (no, really - I will probably write more on that later), but we also need to engage with other frameworks of thinking.

Used to be that Christians were active in all kinds of activities - writing great literature, doing great science, building great buildings, etc. And believe it or not, but there hasn't been any kind of great discovery that "disproves" Christianity, no matter what certain people might insist. Rather, it has been a shift in how Christianity is viewed. Hopefully, this can and will change in the future.

Sometimes, I will write about Christian stuff. The posts will be labeled accordingly.
