Please call me Arvin. I'm a business student hailing from a little known country in South East Asia where we eat bats, crickets, and all sorts of other interesting things, and our version of spaghetti is too sweet for a lot of people's tastes. It's called the Philippines. I'm a fundamental Evangelist, for those who wish to know my 'denomination', and we conduct our Bible studies in a classroom-y method at home, due to our use of Hermeneutics.
I've actually known of this board for a while now, but I haven't really paid much attention to it, due to my focus on business studies, and running a Fate/Stay Night roleplaying forum that I have effectively been head admin of for a little over a year now (the Root is so inactive she might as well not be there).
The reason I've showed up only now might seem contrived, or perhaps selfish, but I guess it could just be circumstances. My heart aches as certain people use our chatroom to badmouth the Lord. Faiths in general, but He gets the most flak, as usual in these kinds of discussions. Due to the nature of the setting, these things are unavoidable for the sake of roleplaying discussion, but sometimes, they just take it completely out of context. I've tried to keep a neutral stance, but I feel like one more of those will have me burst into tears and do something rash.
They say that you are the average of the five people you spend most time with. I believe that, and so, I wish to associate with brethren who share similar interests, in hopes that I can cope with the pain. Admittedly, over the years, I have become more of an intellectual Christian rather than a practising one, and so I have become more vulnerable to attacks.
I hope that I can contribute something to the community.
