Angels and demons

Just finished reading this book.
Another fine read from Mr. Dan Brown (http://www.danbrown.com/).

All the same questions though, a number of different answers too.
What is faith? What is god? Where does morality fit in? Who am I?
All fine questions asked by many men far greater than I. Could start with my name couldn't I - after all this is my usual answer to "who are you?"

I find the motto intriguing

"near the rock" "May we follow heavenly inspiration"

Sounds like a riddle eh? Brings to mind an image of a young man sat on the grass at night, on a cliff face with the waves of the sea crashing into, through around great splinter-like fingers of rock that soar from the sea. This isn't what the young man is looking at though, his ears are full of the sea but his eyes look to an infinite darkness peppered with bodies of light...

I think I'll go look at the stars and the moon tonight.
