I hold a doctorate in Hebrew Language and Literature from Vanderbilt University. My special interests include literary criticism of biblical literature, the history of ancient Israelite religion, historical Jesus research. I am a Pantheist. You might say that I deify Existence. I look forward to mature, stimulating, enlightening and civil conversations with the members here.

Hi and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Howdy. Interesting monicker you've chosen.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
