Sounds like these people are living in fantasy land, and this is the wake up call they needed.
I should say now that I did not go to the Alpha course just because I like an argument or “baiting” Christians – but to have a discussion with people about faith – why people have it – what the feel about it – but the group discussion was christians against me. If I had not been there I cannot see how it would have been any different from the regular bible study meeting that the church runs for its members.
