I come here to escape the stress of modern life, and to take a stroll down memory lane. I am happy with my life but confess that I live part of it in my dreams.

This is the third year my (our ) house has been for sale, and you don't know how much I long to go back to the country. Not England, but the country over here.

If your house sells, Wolf, will you be moving back out into the country?  I take it the housing market is bad there too, eh?

I miss the country too. When I lived in Pennsylvania, we lived out in the country for a number of years.  A lot of the scenery in POE reminds me of it.  But living in AZ, I'd rather be in the city.  The scenery here is breathtaking too, but not necessarily someplace you'd want to livem in my opinion.  And as cities go, Phoenix isn't too bad.

I'm new here, so hello to everyone.

I'm an atheist, but the notion of God fascinates me - which is why this thread drew my attention straight away.

It's good to see people on both sides of the Faith / Belief fence discussing this subject without beating each other to death. Sadly, that's often the outcome of such differences - both on the Net and in real life.

Hi, Peter.

Good to meet you - and thanks for the welcome.

Everyone I've ever met has turned out to be nuts, once that surface skin has been peeled away. Seems to me humanity is a pretty nutty species. But that's OK.

I like nuts.

Well said John, we are a lucky bunch here. The people in this forum really do feel that we are all kindered spirits and we have become quite the little family. It's too bad that blood relatives don't often have the same respect for each others beliefs. 

Having said that, welcome to POE John and I hope that you find our little family to your liking.Smile
