About Me

I have a beard which I think is awesome and gross all at the same time. Could be worse, I could have a pony-tail (I know it's argumentable). I have a college degree so like my friend Brendan says I get to make up words, because obviously present vocabulary can't maintain my genisus, which can barely pass a class. I like to write run on sentences. I like the smell of dryer exhaust. I like curly hair and how it smells after it has been washed. I like to breathe. I like to listen/write/play music. And argumentable is a real word.Facebook me!You scored as Neo orthodox. You are neo-orthodox. You reject the human-centredness and scepticism of liberal theology, but neither do you go to the other extreme and make the Bible the central issue for faith. You believe that Christ is God's most important revelation to humanity, and the Trinity is hugely important in your theology. The Bible is also important because it points us to the revelation of Christ. You are influenced by Karl Barth and P T Forsyth.
