About

Hi there, I'm Mathetes. This Greek word means "disciple." I am a disciple of
Christ.

I am also somewhat too old for this site, perhaps, having just turned 30, but I used to be on here and found that there were some intelligent people, and a more interesting Morality & Religion section than the many Christian forums which mostly seem to be full of fundies, of which I am not one.

At the moment I am unemployed, being a sufferer with intermittent Bipolar disorder, which has led me in and out of work all the time. Just about to move house to the North of England from London. I have a cat, Fluffy, who I love very much.

Interests include Christianity, theology & the Bible (of course) but also pagan religions, magic, folklore and folk traditions, mostly of the British Isles, poetry (my favourite is Constantine Cavafy), and occasionally a fiction book, the last I read was The 39 Steps by John Buchan. It was a bit "boy's own", and probably made a much better film. I also enjoy music, particularly Tom Waits, and comedy shows. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Premier Christian Radio.

My current area of study is in the Law of Christ vs the Law of Moses, ceremonial/moral law etc.
