Are you a Christian?
To me, the focus of Christianity is/remains on the message: be optimistic/good/stoic. Christianity is not a hurdle to be jumped over — it is an understanding of our role in the world, so that we can be harmonious with God, happy and helpful.
And, in the way I describe it, I am trying to live by Christian principles. The key principle, not mentioned above but implicit, is: value your own clear conscience. It is the most important possession you will ever have.
I would guess ‘NO’ based on post #181
