I was boring before I became a Christian.
(The comment above =/= Hipster).
Only if you become Hipster Paulie.
But that would be a total lie.

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 wasnt 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 dont 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. Its a weird point iv come to in my life.
When you do the Lords work it is impossible to sin...I have went months without it simply because I was dedicated.
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 have learned how to have just as much fun playing apples to apples with friends with out all the rest.
