To cut to the chase: this board tends to be filled with a lot of outsiders/weirdos/loners/eccentrics/nerds/geeks/etc.(myself included.)

What exactly, is the place of the outsider/weirdo within the context of Christianity? Is it to strive, through God's grace and guidance, to remedy this "weirdness" and to become as normal and well-adjusted as possible? To accept this weirdness and take on a specialized role for Christ, like Monk/Fool-for-Christ, etc? Is it good to be weird/different in a manner that glorifies Christ, or does Christ prefer more normalcy amongst his flock?

I don't think the Good Shepard calls black sheep to make them look like the rest of the flock. Follow Christ and not the flock.

I our place is diffrent. Maybe we think aboit philosophical properties of scripture and apply that to what we see in this. We dont have to 'belong' cause unlike the wolves in sheepskin we go to church for god. Popularity has not as high of a standard to us than others.
