"In our world it's cool to search for God, but uncool to find Him." ~ Ray Ortlund, Jr.
And even worse to have been found by Him I might add.
It is cool to be religious and seeking a higher, better way. It's admirable to be a good citizen full of character. It is good to seek good. You will do well to do well and to seek the wellness of all.
But dare not denote the Source of good and submit.
Forbid you find the Finder.
There is nothing less cool than worshipping a God Who commands your respect and awe.
It is cool, however, to be the kind of person who wishes that there was a God.
"Only the fool says in his heart that there actually is a God," says the world.
