Weird Thikers.com is the brain child of a recent conversation with Chris Chapman (Pastor of Praise Chapel Indonesia). We were writing to each other and he said "I think if I had a chance to be around more "weird" thinkers I wouldn't feel so "weird"".
He nailed it for me. I always feel weird, and out of place. Mostly because I have different ideas, I see things differently, and think very differently than most of my peers. I have always wanted to setup a website where there was no focus or agenda, or goals, just a place where I could express my thoughts on any issue. I guess there would be one goal, keep the thought process Christian.
This would give me the ability to express concerns on subjects ranging from Faith to Politics (although I will keep the politics to a minimum).
I hope that my friend Chris Chapman will also contribute and not shy away. I also hope to draw other weird thinkers. But if you get too weird I will block your comments ;-)
Also, one other thing that I want to accomplish. I don't just want to motivate our thinking, but I want to motivate our actions. We can sit here all day long and debate issues, discuss ethics, contemplate how to reach the world with the Gospel. But without taking any action it will only be empty dialog.
I am not here to have heated debates with anyone either. I am a Faith based person, and cannot explain everything, nor am I striving for any scientific reasoning, since I am not a scientist there is no point.
However I do welcome solid Christian thought that will challenges us to take action.
Who is my target audience? Praise Chapel of course. We must continue to think about how we do things and what challenges we are facing. For example, one great thought that Chris had, is how are we (Praise Chapel) going to deal with the under-ground church?
