I had to look deeper into Christian Tinder, of course.

Religion News Service did a small investigation into Collide, the app that works just like Tinder (swipe if you think someone’s hot) to match up users.

According to the founders,

“The reason we made the dating app is because we’ve always been focused on one goal: helping people make deep and meaningful relationships with others,” Wang said. “And we felt the Christian community didn’t have a good way to do this with mobile apps, so we wanted to solve that problem.”

I know Christians who use Tinder, even Christians who are in school for theology, and frankly, I never gave it a second thought. Dating apps are just dating apps.

But a Christian dating app? Isn’t that…confusing? Why does this bother me so much? Does it bother anyone else? Please do share in the comments!
