so... i was talking to peter today, instant messaging, and then i started thinking. a lot. that tends to happen when i talk to him. we talked briefly about secular universities vs. Christian universities... and he mentioned how a difference is that at secular colleges no one pretends to be a Christian. of course no one does. it's not popular to have a faith that you live out and "shove" on other people. yet, why would someone who isn't truly a Christian want to attend a Christian university? the thought blows my mind.
1. Christian colleges are a LOT more difficult to pay for, since they are private institutions.
2. If you're not a Christian, why would you want to surround yourself with something you don't believe?
Sure, you can go to a Christian college to seek after God and try to find him in a more real way... but if you aren't a Christian, why bother with the extra hassle of less money to live on, less freedom to do all the things that you COULD do at a secular college that are taboo in Christian circles, and dealing with all the fronts you put up to pretend you're something you're not? It's so pointless.
It is definitely true that in a Christian circle it is easy to feel like you need to be perfect, and in that fronts must be put up, but to fake Christianity is pure stupidity.
I'm basically saying that to be anything but who you are is... well... not worth it.
