Ask War Doctor

First topic message reminder :

Ask away

Why didn't you fill in your age on this board?  Don't you want everyone to know how old you are?

Did you read anything of Ishmael? What books are on your list to read currently?

So, which is worse: the default countries culture, or a culture with Christianity at the center?

I fill in as little as possible on these profiles.

I read the first chapter, I'm currently reading through the Percy Jackson series and also some theology books. 

There is no such thing as the default culture, there are usually many different cultures and sub cultures of those cultures in each country if not each region of a country.

Cool! I just finished reading Percy Jackson. ^_^ (I'm almost done with the second series) Have you read them before? What is your opinion of them? I wasn't super impressed, but they were fairly good. Riordan is pretty good at having a good balance of history (or whatever you want to call it) and fiction/modern world.

This was my first time reading them, as you say not groundbreaking or literary genius but they were solid examples of world building. I also thought his pacing was well done, he came up with some creative situations for the characters, and kept you wanting to read the next one. I liked them overall more than The Hunger Games or Divergent but nowhere near as good as Harry Potter.

What makes life make sense?

What is one wrong that should be righted?

I'll let you know when I figure that out 

Violence toward the Christians in the Middle East and acceptance of refugees

So why do we exist? Why does life not make sense?

We exist to enjoy perfect communion with God 

Because life is messy and problematic

Shouldn't that make life make sense?

Why do you fill in as little as possible on your profile? Is it so we know nothing about you?

It should, it doesn't always 

If that was the case would I tell you?

Well I know it isn't the case, because you love your Q&A's, and you wouldn't start those if we weren't supposed to know anything about you.

Why do you annoy people?

Do I annoy people?

I think it's only me that's annoyed 

What book of the Bible have you read the most?

Revelation, it was the first book I read all the way through and I read it at least three more times after that.

Do you think things came to be in the order Genesis says?

Do you like my avatar?

How is the Christmas season for you so far?

I'm not sure how to read Genesis, I think it's important to say that God created everything out of nothing but beyond that not sure. 

Not particularly  

It's been pretty good so far, how about you?

:shock: 

What do you think of my avatar? Do you know what it is of?

I do know what it is of, we discussed this and I said it'd be better if you used the icon I sent you

 Dictating everyone's avatars. Well I might wear an icon for a day at the max. 

Which one do you recommend?

Theotokos of Vladimir

Did you ever have a pet? 

Have you ever got attached to a thing, place or pet?

Do you think the name Diana is okay to use considering who it was in the Bible?

Do you think the name Adolf should be used? Isn't it a nice name if you un-attach it from who it reminds you of?

I've had fish, lizards, and birds before; currently I have none. 

I was pretty attached to the birds and I feel really attached to the area I'm in now. 

I wouldn't name my children a name that wasn't a Saint name so that takes care of both Dina and Adolf but as for Adolf I don't think there is a way to un-attach it so no not a good name to use.

What kind of birds? 

Were saints all named after other saints? Like, do some of them have the same name?

They were golden finches 

Many of them do share names, so St. Ignatius of Antioch is so called to distinguish from the later St. Ignatius of Loyola (all though the Loyola Saint is only a Saint in the RCC so not the best example) but there are multiple St. Marys, Mother Maria of Paris is named after St. Mary of Egypt and several St. John's such as St. John the Theologian and St. John of Kronstadt.

Do the EO's have a book or some sort of list of all the Saints? How do you find out about them?
