I am Lutheran, LCMS to be exact (sore subject) and sadly there seems to be so few Christians, let alone Christian Concervatives anymore, let alone people on here. I think a major reason behind this is misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and ill concieved ideas about Christianity because people just have "ideas" about what it is rather than actually reading the Bible.
On a personal note, at this point I am not particularly interested in dating (but I might be eventually) which seems strange to this hormonally driven culture. Trying to tell people that I'm not constantly thinking about boys, dating, etc is like trying to talk to wall it feels like. It gets annoying trying to explain that I don't want to go around "hooking up" with guys or that I believe in no "funny stuff" before marriage. Sometimes it really irks me and I start lecturing people about it even! >_<
i use to be a LCMS lutheran - but i went through the ''dunk tank'' because my local LCMS church does NOT offer a sunday school / bible study class for people with developmental disabilities and the local ELCA does not have one either.
but first baptist church, here in hendersonville, nc - DOES have a class for people with developmental disabilities like ASD, epilepsy, MR, downs syndrome, etc. it is called ''special friends''. that class accepts me and LOVES me very much just as i am and without any need to mold myself into something or someone i know i am not (and do not want to be).
