I’m a Christian, and a big part of that comes from my upbringing in a deeply religious country with a strong historical and cultural foundation in Christianity. While I absolutely believe in free will, I also feel a sense of responsibility not just to myself, but to my family, my friends, and my country. My priorities have always been about more than just me.
I do believe in Christ, but I’m not the kind of person who pushes my beliefs onto others. I respect everyone’s right to choose their own path, and I don’t judge people based on their religion or lack of it. However, what I don’t appreciate is when people mock or disrespect something that means a lot to others especially faith. You don’t have to believe in it, but basic respect goes both ways.
