Recently because of the wanderings of my mind, the alpha course has popped up on a few occaisions, and just now I sought to google it and find out what it is all about, so I found my way to here the UK website for the course.
On bringing up the page I was confronted with the bold headline ; Does God Exist ?
Under that headline are two boxes, which I selected the no option, as it is my belief god does not exist. On ticking no I was taken to another page which showed the results of others having also responded to the tick boxes and to my complete surprise 92 % of all those that had done similar to myself I assume on accessing that page had also selected no. ( I had expected the reverse given people were specifically seeking information which I understood previously to be a god squad convincement exercise ).
So, the website on it's front page describes the meaning of life explored, but my question is just what is the course to those who have done it, has it changed your life, or do you have any thoughts you would like to bring up regarding it ?
Why would you have expected the reverse? Obviously the people who are going to take/be interested in the course are those who do not already ascribe to a particular religion. It may be a bit heavier in no's, but certainly not the reverse of expected.
If the other "ministries" asked the same question the results would be closer to what you expected.
Meanwhile, if someone needs some kind of "spiritual" direction, then they should read "The Secret".
It's hogwash, just like religions, but at least its positive hogwash that can refocus your energies on productivity and positivity instead of negativity, which is a self fulfilling prophecy. Not because of any "laws of attraction", but simple human psychology.
