    My life is so full of doing stuff for/with others that I relish my time in the arms of morpheus.

    Unfortunately I sleep very little.

        I think things like the C7th debate around the monothelite heresy. Everybody by then agreed that Christ had separate divine and human natures, but couldn't agree on whether those two natures were united in a single will.

        Nowadays the only theological question we ever get is about where you can put your willy, which is really neither here nor there.
        I'm interested in 4th century Roman history, so have an interest in Church History from that angle, in particular the Arian heresy, which had such a profound effect on the birth of medieval Western Europe.

            Better than moping around at home, fantasising about SAS.

              That is an interesting subject. Some scholars maintain that the separation of Christ from God was the reason Islam was able to convert the east from christianity without too much doctrinal difficulty. Constantine is probably one of the most complex characters of the late Roman Empire.

                I try collect all the money in the world.

                But it is hard work.

                As for boring hobbies, I read too much about cars, the financial crisis, and try to drum up enough business for plan B that I don't have to contract.

                  I prefer Roman history when the gods were the gods and the plebs were the plebs. Long live the Republic.

                    It is also interesting because it created a split in the West between the Orhodox / Athanasian / Catholic Romans and the Arian Barbarians residing in the Empire. It is arguable that this religious split between the two communities had an important role in the transition of the Western Roman Empire into Barbarian kingdoms.

                      They nicked their Gods from the Greeks.

                      Now they had cool Gods.
