I have no right to have an opinion on your question, Brian, but my answer is Yes.
I have no education but I can see no reason for believing in a God.
I read what you believe, still, and of course am drawn to it because of the inculcation received when young but, with the type of churchmen we have had for at least 1600 years, how can we possibly beieve?
I have always drawn great encouragement from our happy marriage, our family, friends and, for five years, from this beautiful community you and your beauty have brought into being, into our lives.
Nowadays, I believe in love, friendship, being manly, being decent, the beauty of the world and of people.
With a very, very few exceptions these are not to be found in what was once 'my Church'.
