WHY, thank you Jeffrey for your advice regarding the Alpha course into which I have already dipped my toe, ‘A lack of compassion’, September 23.

The well meaning, kindly and misguided people I met did nothing to change my view that man created God rather than the other way round.

The rest of your letter hardly bears comment.

Your diatribes appear to be fuelled by the clear disappointment of your life and what you have failed to achieve.

Your letters drip envy and frustration as you rail against pretty much everything.
