In my case, I realised that even though I was brought up to attend church and My parents were Christians, there was something lacking in my life that those around me had, so I asked God to come into my life and change me, and he did, and he has been with me through all the good and bad times (and there has been a few of those !!!!) that I have had If you want to know more try and find an Alpha Course, look on their Website (Alpha. org) Linda P |

linda P, your very lucky! but lots of people havent been as fortunate to find god, i also feel that being religious doesnt make you any better or worse, its all down to a moral code which unfortunatly some people lack, and I think our society is in serious trouble! |

Grasping, selfish, intolerant on one hand and on the other kind, generous and loving. Too many of the former not enough of the latter. Gwynne |
