This was beautiful and moving. I'm so happy for you to have found God through not only your (God-given) intelligence but faith as well. Praise be to Christ!

Amen. To Christ be the glory!

Deriding your faithless father needlessly and abandoning his name is far from Christian-like yet all too common for women of this demographic, who find it a priority to leech and fully absorb themselves into their fantasy of the idealized American family and at any cost. Sad!

Competing worldviews provide no coherent understanding of truth, goodness and beauty. As humans we crave meaning, and that meaning can only be found in The Logos. God.

It's Christ or Chaos.

C.S Lewis said it best, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
