My faith is not shaken, and I did not expect anyone to believe in God based on me being here and sharing what I believe.
Well then why did you come to a site that was going to rip the tenets of your faith a new one? It's not like your college is even making a ghost of an attempt to give you a critical appraisal of christianity (for example they've sold you the lie that the bible is a valid historical document. It is not).
So I'm beginning to think you're here for one of three reasons, evangelisation (honestly your disavowal doesn't mean much to me, all evangelicals who were trying to convert me irl denied they were evangelising), masochism or bragging rights.
OR maybe he's just here for discussion? Lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
