It occurred to me that maybe I didn’t clarify in my introductory post what exactly this blog is for.

In my quest to be the (mortal) embodiment of agape love, I’m striving to explain and de-mystify the myths, preconceptions, and prejudices that influence others’ views of what exactly it means to be a follower of that guy, Jesus.

If I can help even one person by explaining what it’s really about, then I’ve done my job on this blog. If I can have one good, helpful discussion, then this blog has fulfilled its purpose.

It’s not about numbers, hits, multitudes of readers and comments (although, being merely human, I have to say that it would be nice to be that popular =D)… it’s just about trying to share what I know now to people who were like me before I met this Jesus guy. There’s a definite leap of knowledge between the two states, where things that were utterly incomprehensible before become common sense – most Christians I’ve met, however, have lost that sense of parralax, of being able to see both what the nonbeliever saw, and what they see now. If I can help bridge that gap a little, then it’s worth it.

I still have that parralax, and as long as I can hold on to it, to help others, I will.

So… that’s basically what this blog is all about. Hope that helps.
