“God, in my opinion, is a creation of man. I don’t see why religions think that they are correct and the ancient Greek religions are absurd. They’re all the same to me. Plus, we all know the world has been around for more than 6,000 years. How many times must The Holy Bible be wrong […]

I have had a happy life and never had any experience that turned me into a religious believer or doubter – it is just who I am. I have not had the belief of God since my early teens. I am now 50 and have never thought otherwise. I am sure in my feelings […]

“It would surprise people around me that: I find working with my hands to be as close to a spiritual experience as I will have.
