I was delighted tom spent an evening with a friend I have not seen in forty years. We were at school together.<\/p>\n
I was interested in our conversation about religion in which he said he had never thought there was a difference between the stories religions tell and Robin Hood. It was all about good versus bad. Because of that he didn’t think there was ever a time he had believed in a god. I said I think I did up to the age of 17 and then I lost all faith because it was, as he said, all stories.<\/p>\n
