History, Philosophy, Psychology only.

Religion is too political, and theology is too speculative.

hm - i can respect that POV - though i tend to think of both religion and theology as part of ontological philosophy, meaning that i focus on how to understand specific texts, ideas, concepts, digging through them for a broader world view.

mainly existentialism, ethics and exegesis - i love digging through the Hebrew Bible looking for the positive and coherent way to read it, as i believe much of it has been misinterpreted.

My interests have mostly sprung from a fascination with historical costume. I'm not that interested in religion but I know a lot about Catholicism because of my job.

I'm into history and classical philosophy....

I'm fascinated by the disintegration of the Roman Republic. I'm also very interested in ethics as defined by the Roman Stoics--Epictetus, Musonius Rufus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius....

My favorite Emperor is Vespasian. Fun fact: his name is the root word for urinal in Italian, French (I think), and Romanian. He invented the pay toilet! :lol:
