So technicolor it is. There are people here! Really awesome people. I took a step out of my cloister, and met some great people. None of whom were in my church group, homeschool group. Some of whom did not profess to know Christ. Some of whom professed as Ghandi, "I like your Christ, I just don't like the Christians."
I started going to their homes. Having them to my home. Meeting at the park. Sharing meals. My favorite activities, by far, have been the Soup Swaps. Those are suh-weet. Not bound to tradition, Austinites also swap casseroles, pastas, and desserts.
And I found Christians everywhere I looked, too. And discovered a lot of great churches in Austin. And parks. And places to hang out.
I keep thinking about that Ghandi thing though. "I just don't like your Christians."
What's up with that?
I asked around.
The biggest problem? "The Christians, they want everyone to think that they're all nice and good, but really they're just as bad as anyone else, and most of them are worse. They're bigoted. And they can be mean."
My quest became to figure out why this image is, and how I can distance myself from it.
