The problem I have with the Alpha posters aren't the 'asking questions' aspect - it's the strongly-hinted 'we have all the answers' aspect!
As a sort of Anglican agnostic (I'm an Anglican, but I couldn't tell you I'm certain there's a God - I don't think faith deals in certainty anyway, but still) I really do heartily dislike the suggestion that I'm a) worried b) 'can't make my mind up' (which I've had levelled at me by believers and atheists).
I've also been told that someone would have asked me out were I 'stronger in the faith'. Lucky escape for me, though I didn't have the heart to say that to his face.
