I've mentioned my wife before but she was diagnised with fybromyalgia about 12 years ago. Difficult to pin down but some of what you said sounds familiar. She is good now - at least for the last couple of years so. (2) May I suggest you read 'The Dark Side of Christian History' (Helen Ellerbe - who is not an aethiest!) It puts into perspective where all of the dogma comes from and why and explains why the church is at it is today. Always good to get all sides. (3) If you need any advice/tips/locations/hints regarding England feel free to email me. Judy and I have many US friends who travel over and we help out wherever we can (1) Sorry to hear of your health problems.

I read some and have to put it down for a bit to mull it over. There was something on the History channel recently too about how the books that in the Bible were chosen. I find it interesting that there are several other versions of Genesis, including one where Eve came first. Made me want to add The Dead Sea scrolls to my reading list. Part of the problem is that I love conspiracy theory and history and I mostly want to get down to the truth of things, but I don't think we'll ever find absolute proof about God, which is where the Faith comes in. It occurred to me that I don't want to get to Heaven and not have a clue or an idea about the truth. Andy - I’ve been reading that book actually.
