As a Christian, I believe the world was made for friendship. However, I won’t always agree with others on what counts as healthy friendship. According to the Bible, woman was made to be man’s closest companion. For that reason, a man is to love his wife as his own body.
In my work, I hope to be as religiously neutral as my conscience can allow. I wish to be gentle and respectful to those who don’t share my religion. This way, I can host a forum where people who want to be friends can find common ground.
I take inspiration from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Certain values that conflict with mine were quietly promoted – mainly in the form of things implied I could ignore. Those values were pushed about as hard as they could be without feeling forced on me.
