From cold Scandinavia

Hello!

I've finally found a good forum where I can debate religious questions non-stop.

I'm interested in almost everything. Theology, ancient languages, archaeology, astronomy, physics and general science, bioethics, and my faith in Jesus Christ.

But really, I'd like to become a writer, possibly lecturer and have my own cosy bookshop in a dark medieval back alley. My faith is important to me and I have just come to discover that there are many things in the Bible that I need to explore and get some clarification in or else I will be walking around ignorant about my own God. That's too embarrassing.

Hope to have a good time here and learn a lot and meet lots of exciting people with all kinds of religious faiths!

Kindly,
Ghaniel

Here's a thread that may "explain" me (other than having you look up my own introduction!):

Peruse at your own leisure.

Ohhhh...

So you're greeting in many languages to kind of... cover everything?

You obviously know that Dia dhuit is an Irish greeting and I'm pleased with that.

No, it's more if I spout off a stream of greetings in as many languages as I can, the person I'm greeting might find one s/he recognizes in his/her first language or one close enough, thereby creating a bridge of communication. It has helped me quite a bit offline as much as it has created some hilarious situations (like the time I greeted a gentleman in German and ended up listening to him talk at me about stuff in German for roughly 15 minutes.
