I'm not saying the metaphysical is of no interest to me, Lindsy, I'm just saying that God and souls are just two of the aspects of it that I am happy to leave others pondering about.

Like most English people of my generation, molly, I was exposed to Christian culture growing up (albeit the relatively harmless C of E variety) but I certainly wasn't indoctrinated. And I don't believe there is more to us than our physical being. Apart from our mind, of course, but that is very much dependent on out physical body.
I don't have any problem with the concept of God, Lindsy, even though I don't personally have any beliefs in that area. What does leave me dumbfounded, though, is what people believe about God.

I wish I could say something pertinent to your situation with the doctor but it's a bit out of my area of understanding. So I'll just say it's always nice to see you.
Apart from a failed attempt to make a satisfactory appointment twelve months or so ago, I have had no contact with my doctor for years, Dee. It's just too much hassle.
