    Dorm life

    A Dorm, or Halls as they're known over here, can be a lot of fun. It can be noisy sometimes, especially at night if there are parties going on. You're surrounded by other people your age with no parental guidance, you'll never enjoy such freedom again! I can't say much about roommates because I...

    Can watching an evil movie bring evil into your house?

    Watching a horror movie won't invite demons into your house. Use of a Ouija board might, but not watching a DVD.

    What is your Favorite Field of Study (S.H./C.H. or Famous People/Events!) in History?

    Historical figures that I find particularly interesting are Hitler, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Anne Frank and Queen Victoria. Historical events I find interesting include World War II, 9/11, the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, the Titanic, and the colonization of Australia and the New World.

    What is your Favorite Season?

    A difficult question. It certainly isn't Spring or Autumn. Winter can be if there is consistent snow, especially over Christmas, but that rarely happens. Bright, dry Summer months in the low 20s are just brilliant though.

    What animals do you have?

    I currently have three cats. My family has had roughly 20 cats over the past 30 years, and 6 hamsters (One of which got eaten by one of the cats:(). I love dogs too, even though they smell, I can't get over how loyal there are and how much they love you, particularly compared to the indifference...

    My favourite sport is Formula One. I have been a lifelong fan of cars and motor racing. I am also an avid fan of Aston Villa F.C., and always watch big international football tournaments such as the World Cup and the Euros. Tennis is also good, as well as Swimming and Track & Field. In fact the...

    What is your Favorite Historical Time Period in World History?

    I love 20th century political history, seeing the rise and fall of communism, fascism and state atheism. I also love the history of music and how it has been a reflection of the social and political environment in which it was written.

    best way to deal with athiests?

    I've met quite a few hostile atheists in my time (most of which over the Internet here they feel protected by a sense of anonymity), and while they think they're giving a logical response against religion, they're in fact giving an emotional response. They express an unwillingness to believe...

    Should Christians Only get jobs pertaining to Christ?

    I think that Christians should be free to choose whatever career path they want, as long as it isn't something which is inherently sinful, such as being an adult film actor, or an assassin. I am currently in the middle of a Music degree, a lot of music I play in my life will honor God, and a lot...

    Biggest barrier I have to believing in God

    90% of human suffering is caused by other humans. Our free will permits us to kill, oppress, discriminate, and persecute as we please. Think of all the wars that have happened through history, or how bloody the 20th century was (which, incidentally was mostly caused by state atheism). Natural...
