I, TheMiddleWay, am a devout Christian and always have been.

I wonder how many people will actually be surprised by this headline. I know I have many detractors who has labeled me an apologist in the past and thus they won't be surprised. On the other hand, I've had many conversations with many people about Buddhism and agnosticism may be surprised by this headline. In fact, one may wonder why I would even want to post this headline and reveal this in the first place. Why would I want to talk about God and me? What reason could he have for hiding his Christianity some might ask. What tactic is he playing at by revealing it now? The truth of the matter is the reasons for this headline are not clear or easy to explain. Ok, that's not entirely true but for Gods sake let's assume it is for the moment. I mean sure, I could spend a lot of time trying to explain my position and try to defend the headline but I wont. Maybe I should though. Maybe I should spend some time explaining this to you who might be curious. Maybe I could even talk about what God and god(s) and god mean to me. You see the purpose of this is not to make any declaration for anyone who has had any interaction with me knows the truth about my beliefs. Rather think of this as just a little experiment, maybe even a little silly joke, to see how many people will read that headline and based on nothing more, will go on and post that they knew it all along or that I don't belong here, or the multitude of other negative reactions that some people have with the religious here. This is why I'm trying to keep talking because it's critical that the truth of this post be buried in the text for the faux-periment to work In fact, I guess I should talk more about God (Capital G) in here to really make it work. This way people will see that I'm talking about God and thus reinforce that the headline might be true after all. Well, more God. I guess I already talked about God earlier. But hey, one can never have too much God, ammiright? Of course I'm not promoting that but that's just another shameless excuse to talk about God. In other words, there is no explaining this headline because the headline is made up. I am, and continue to believe, as I always have and as I've posted countless times. I'm not gonna post it here because it might draw too much attention to the made up nature of the headline. And the only reason I'm continuing to talk this is so that I can bury that fact in text so it's not immediately obvious. In fact, if you are reading this now then you are likely reading more than most people. And if you are reading this now and understand the full significance of the headline, treat those who only read the headline with pity and gentleness. The purpose here is not to shame or mock them but to draw attention to what I consider a serious problem in terms of modern societies promulgation of fake news and misleading information. I hope no one gets the headline. I really do.

May god(s) mercy be with you all.
