Arni Zachariassen 24 years old Aberdeen, United Kingdom Male

About

Hello everybody.
My name is Arni Zachariassen. I live in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Originally from the Faroe Islands, a country in the North Atlantic Ocean. It's a small place with only 50.000 inhabitants, 3 cinemas and 1 Burger King, but it's a good place to live. Currently I study theology at the University of Aberdeen, which I enjoy very much. I also play guitar in Braquet. I am engaged to Malan and we will marry in August. I'm trying to lose weight for the occasion, so I buy low fat stuff and eat fish at least once a week. When I'm not pretending to do uni assignments, I write press releases and articles for the amazing G! Festival. I like watching TV on DVD. I couldn't live without my iPod. Or my laptop. I blog about faith, but do it in Faroese, so you wouldn't understand.

My place of origin

Karl Barth says

"What man can know according to the measure of his natural powers, his understanding, his feeling, will be at most something like a supreme being, the ultimate and most profound, but this "thing-in-itself", has nothing to do with God. It is part of the intuitions and marginal possibilities of man's thinking, man's contrivance. Man is able to think this being, but he has not thereby thought God. God is thought and known when in His own freedom God makes Himself apprehensible. ... God is always the One who makes Himself known in His own Revelation, and not the one man thinks out for himself and describes as God." - Dogmatics in Outline, s. 23
