Um, wow. This is one impressive board you've got here. Quite overwhelming, really...
For those who don't know me from Cross+Flame (where I'm 'Ganesh'), a brief introduction. I'm 34 years of age, male, and a psychiatric doctor by profession, living and working in London (although I'm Scottish and have previously lived in Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh).
I'm gay, and have been with my partner for over seven years now (still no 'itch'); our union has spawned two small black cats and a succession of ailing houseplants.
On the vexed question of 'faith', I've never been quite sure how to describe myself: although a 'scientific humanist' by nature and perhaps overly sceptical (so I've been told), I'm extremely interested in world religions and have a tendency to 'pick & mix' elements of Christianity (particularly Jesus and the New Testament), Hindu, Buddhism and wishy-washy, vaguely New Age 'karma'. I call the result 'fuzzy agnosticism' - I don't believe the existence or non-existence of a Godhead can be proved (yet) but I have an inchoate belief in something, and prefer to keep all avenues open and all possibilities... erm, possible.
Glad to be here!
