I love reading, especially Science Fiction books + movies. I've read:
The Blind Watchmaker - Dawkins
the God Delusion -Dawkins
The language of Life - Collins
and 2 or 3  others, 25+ years ago - the titles I do not recall, but one 
was justifying faith in Christ another the history of Christianity. But 
I've also read, The Book of Mormon, and Joseph Smith, Books both 
positive and critical of the man. Also Mary Baker Eddy 's Christian 
Healer. And I've been entertained a few times over the years by Mormon 
missionaries. I'm not a regular Church attender, but I do go from time 
to time.  My wife is Methodist, so when I do go, it's to a Methodist 
Church. But never their Sunday School. The United Methodist Church is a 
liberal Denomination.

Do you ever attend any Church services?
