Last Christmas, my aunt gave me a key-chain in the shape of my name. It is quite a nice little trinket, but not really something a self-respecting guy might carry around. I should suppose, in fact, that if guys were to see me carrying it around, they might so deign to deem me as being effeminate. Heck, even girls might feel that way.
But I know my aunt loves me. And she is one of the most generous and caring of persons I've met. So what matters more? Acknowledging my aunt's love (and I know she'd be really happy to see me carry the key-chain), or the opinions of a bunch of people who probably could matter less?
And in a similar vein, what of acknowledging our Christianity in a secular world?
