So Polaris, have you read the holy books of every religion you don't believe in? If you haven't, then how are you sure that they're not true?
No. I have not heard of every religion under the sun.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I didn't vote.
I'm currently a resident of Wales. I've been here for two years. Minus a three month stint in Cyprus.
I was born in California. I moved here from California.

I watched the Six Nations. I have not seen a professional match live but I have been to the Varsity match at my uni and it was really fun to watch. Rugby is a brilliant sport.

I have, thank you. I'm actually ready to go home and get on with the next phase in life. I can officially say that I'm exhausted with academia. At least for the next few years.

Greetings to all,me? I currently reside in the deep south near Memphis,TN. after five years in Yorkshire,England.I am also a vegan and a non-traditional student.Why the bible belt south? after repatriating 14 months previous I looked in on a dear friend who lives in Arkansas about 60 miles from Memphis. I discovered during my visit,I qualify for a tuition waiver for all universities within Arkansas. So I traveled To Portland,OR. to retrieve my belongings and the rest is history.
My field of study is international studies, the course requires I learn a foreign language(Spanish) and live abroad for a semester or more. However,I was ill prepared for the deep south. Black,vegan and atheist is the trifecta of whammy's. It appears that a sizable portion of the black masses failed to receive the news of the Emancipation Proclamation.I am sad to report the plantation system in alive and well. Enslaved citizenry inviting me back on the plantation,no thanks!
