Hey PapistItalian16

Only 35 posts to go then we can get into some decent theological discussions?
BTW, How old are you, what do you do for fun (besides bible study  :))
Any hobbies, interests, what country do you live in?

I know. Cant wait. hahaha

I'm 16 from central New York(US)

My big hobby is reenacting. I am a member of a group that re-creates units from the French & Indian war(Seven Years War) and the American War of Independence.
My Unit's site :http://www.secondalbany.org/

And I like Bible study. hahahaha  :D

Reenacting sounds like a fun way to learn history although I wouldn't ever want to be in a war for real.
I think the opening stanza of Saving Private Ryan was pretty good. Destoys the myth of invincible heros.

Now I know you're 16 I'll say hi. You're intro was quite immature and now I know why ;D When joining a group with world view(s) very different from oneself it's not a good idea to be quite so 'in your face' if you want to be taken seriously.

Welcome to HAF.

I have always loved that movie, though right know I cant recall the opening stanza.

I'll start by posting the Apostles Creed, so that you know what I beleive in.

I wish for my experince on this forum to be one that will, through debate and descussion, help me to grow in my faith. Debates have a way of doing that.

I didn't think it was immature at all. It was a clear and to the point declaration of you belief and then a very good and decent declaration of your intent at the bottom, showing that you wanted to learn and grow. I thought it was a very good intro.

I'm a little (actually a lot) cynical.

NOOO Dont get what I do confused with LARP!! hahahaha. We arent that nerdy. Lol. Well...maybe just a tad bit.

We use real reproductions of British and French military muskets from the time. And we shoot blanks with real black powder at each other. It's a little more satisfying than swinging a foam pool noodle with a pvc pipe in the center. hahahaha.

Not just in America, a member of my family dresses up as a viking at the weekend with a bunch of others and run around a field acting out some sort of battle (honestly have never been interested enough to ask why).

Haha really? That's cracking!
Also to PapistItalian16 - I couldn't do the shooting blanks things. I have a phobia of bangs - fireworks, balloons, anything! If a balloon is in the room I'm always really anxious about it, and I never used to have balloons at my birthday parties :(

I am extremely afraid of baloons. hahahahaha. When I was little, one popped and a peice of rubber went down my throught. I almost choked. Now I get jumpy when I am around them. Lol.

At least your fear is slightly rational! I think I associate the bangs with being hurt - yet it's funny that I don't mind gun shots on the tv. I cried when I was taken clay pidgeon shooting. I ran out of the booth because the bang I'd heard from the booth next to me was so loud I dreaded to here what it would sound like if I shot the gun!

That's pretty interesting. lol.

My friends are constantly breaking my chops about the baloon thing. hahaha.

And I like guns too much to be afraid of them. LOL.
