Ethics: Is It A Sin To Be Boring?

At first blush, this seems like a ludicrous question. Certainly, there’s no inclusion among the various lists of sins in the Bible of this one. At the same time, we are the ambassadors of God whose primary task in this life is to image and reveal God to others. And God Himself is surely anything other than boring. Are we glorifying Him properly if we are so unlike Him that we aren’t even interesting to other people? Jesus was certainly not boring, sometimes radical, sometimes ridiculous (in the sense that people ridiculed Him). What about being nice? Reliable? Substantial? Phrased a different way, do we have a duty to be interesting?
