Has being a Christian made you boring?

[Miss Spaulding]

To the secular world, yes, I'm probably considered very boring. However, I would venture to say that I would be boring anyway, whether I was a Christian or not.

 

[Neve]

I'm boring as well...I don't think being a non-Christian would change that though. I don't have any wild stories of banging 30 guys after a weekend in Cabo like some of my friends or getting blackout drunk every weekend.

 

[Strider1002]

If it's boring to know that the temporary pleasures of this world are just a shadow of what is to come... then yes, I'm boring.

I was boring before I became a Christian.

I'll just call you Hipster Drops from now on

 

[Jupiter Drops]

Only if you become Hipster Paulie.

Only if you become Hipster Paulie.

But that would be a total lie.

Wow, that was a very hipster word.

I hate how you used the word 'hipster.' No one likes hipsters. No one. Especially the hipsters.

I'm just boring by nature. That is to say, the things that excite me tend to excite nobody else ever.

Has being a Christian made you boring?


I sometimes get the feel that being a Christian has made me pretty boring. A little background, I wasn’t really a Christian till around age 20/21 (it was a process and not an overnight thing). Before that I was more a Christian in name only. I would go to Church on Christmas and Easter and ya know do the whole Christian thing once in a while.


I was a fun person though. Girls though I was Charming, I could have fun and just do things everyday people do, without any guilt or conscience.


Then I became a Christian. The fun me sort of died cause all the things that are “Fun” sort of revolve around things God does not approve off. Well the Charming guy, who could talk to any girl and be all smooth and slick. Turned into the nice guy, who is amazingly boring? The fun guy turned into “well I don’t wanna do XYZ because its not what God wants”.


I just wonder sometimes if when people say “its tough to live a Christian life”. Do they mean its tough to be the only one not having fun? Then yes it is tough, its also tough when ya get so uninteresting that you start to bore yourself. This cant be all there is to being a Christian.


I need to get my groove or mojo back or whatever. But then again the only way I know how to get it back is to ignore What pleases God. It’s a weird point iv come to in my life.

No not boring but i had to get more socially responsible

 

[HazelWings]

I haven't become more boring. In fact, since becoming a Christian I feel more free to love completely and enjoy the life God has given me.

When you do the Lords work it is impossible to sin...I have went months without it simply because I was dedicated.

I can only speak of myself. But I think that human's always sin even if they don''t notice that about themselves.

Sinning is more than physically doing something, sinning is also to have YOUR DESIRE to do something, such desire that you would surely commit to it if you had a chance.

 

[iLCorsaroNero]

No. I feel it has make me more of an individual. Especially when socializing with others, when they are expecting one thing and you completely surprise them with the opposite view and then open up a wide range of intriguing conversations.

 

[Balugon]

Christianity hasn't, but lack of money can hurt a bit.

 

[Pittsburgh Christian]

I'm 15, but I don't think so. I grew up in a Christian home, but I never embraced it until recently I returned to Christ. Things that I used to find fun like perverted jokes, and drinking aren't, but other things are. Last night I went to a Lent Bible study and we had tons of fun!

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[ash777]

Yes, there are things I would like to do, but don't because I am a Christian. I have found other things that I enjoy doing more like hiking, cooking, swimming, etc... It took a long time to learn that I am better off without going to have a drink with friends or going dancing at a club. I have learned how to have just as much fun playing apples to apples with friends with out all the rest.
