Interesting perspective. I've fairly recently become a Christian, after being agnostic but spiritually curious for a long time. So far, almost universally, the Christians I've met have been all about taking responsibility. Sometimes annoyingly so... This is also pretty close to that crack in the matrix I mentioned.
Very interested in taking responsibility for small things but not so much on the big hard things.
How will you provide for your family? Grow your skills and save or god will provide. To go back to stoicism, you can't really stop until you've done everything in your power to secure their future and still be living the stoic virtues.
That said, christianity includes lots of varied sects and geographic changes in personality, we may well be seeing different things.
