Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
We can discuss the evolution of language on another thread.
Trust is earned, through evidence of trustworthiness. Not everyone feels empty because they didn't buy the Brooklyn Bridge from that well-dressed, smooth-talkin' guy.
So should I screen the fireman that comes to rescue my family for his intent? The intent of Christianity is to better a person through knowledge and interaction with the Creator. Why reject this? Because of your perceptions of physical reality which are fundamentally misguided?
Well, if someone claims to see something extraordinary, like fairies, they better have more evidence then their unsupported claim of personal trustworthiness for me to consider them anything other than delusional or dishonest. But of course that is my skeptical mind at work, the one that is not taken in by bridge salesmen.
Because you think you know how reality works? If everyone saw fairies but you, would you think your the one who was delusional? I've experienced the reality of God, I understand why people don't want to believe. I used to be one of those who didn't believe until I saw, and then the wool was pulled from my eyes. You are the one taken by the bridge salesman, not me.
No, I am saying that anyone who claims to own the Brooklyn Bridge better not only have the deed but also the evidence to convince my lawyer they actually own said bridge.
Classic. What end is there in this type of skepticism? What do you gain by trying to prove everything?
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
I'm not trying to pull teeth, but sincerely want people to know that the possibilities are endless. Why question when you can believe? If something disproves your faith move on in humility.

Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
You people just can't help it, can you? Can't help but give away the game. You don't believe because you know; you believe because you want it to be true.
I wouldn't believe if I didn't know. You are the one who lacks the experience. If you knew what I truly spoke of, you wouldn't be arguing against.
Oh how I desperately want God to exist! Is that what you think? Friend I would be glad to believe that life is meaningless and there won't be a judgement again. I thought once, that was freedom and the tools and fools in religion were delusional. Then I had an experience like the deepest love and an ocean of peace wash me of my sins. It was beautiful, and my eyes were opened for the first time. And when I came back down to earth and looked around, it was like Plato's cave. No one will believe me, hell sometimes I don't think anyone can, but it's part of the responsibility to God to witness.
I don't want it to be true anymore than you do, however, it is and it is a tough reality. But knowing that justice will eventually prevail is a wonderful thought. Faith is the most important element of human existence. We can move mountains, lift cars, walk on water, heal others, levitate, do all of these things. Skepticism only begets lack of healthy spirituality and a darkness to the fullness of Him who made us in his image.

Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
How is the Christian God served by believing UFOs are anything but misinterpretations of physical phenomena? Did Jesus preach - believe in everything except science and critical thinking?
Its about reaching for the stars, mate. Letting go of the reins, trusting in the wholeness of the Spirit. Let your self fly with the eagles, and transcend through the fogy haze of your senses. Be one, and be at peace. And pass the blunt, don't forget to share.
Jesus didn't say anything about science. He did say watch out for false prophets. So charles manson is a lunatic, and he says he is jesus, well he is innocent until proven guilty. Although you seem to think I lack the ability to use reason and logic because I disagree with you on your silly evolution idea and whatever else you find to pester me about.
IMO your apparent assertion that everything is true except science is a great way to demean the only direct works of God and therefore God herself. Also, when Charlie Manson says he is Jesus and Jim Jones says he is Jesus, how do you choose which one to believe? After all, from what I can gather according to your philosophy, both claims are equally true, as opposed to my skepticism, which says both are equally false.
IMO, you think I think science isn't true. Well, your a fool for suggesting that. I don't think your pet evolution as origins science is worth two shits on a cracker.

Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
You are as alien to me, as a shit cracker.
So you base your statements on the daydreams that you indulge in when you're high? Well, it's a free country, but why do you suppose that anyone else should be interested in your drug-fueled delusions?
Notice your original question:
How is the Christian God served by believing UFOs are anything but misinterpretations of physical phenomena?
Your stupid question deserves a stupid comment. You foolishly loaded this tacky question with your small minded world views. Your implications taste like a shit cracker (SC). You think your opinion is right and anyone who hints at the supernatural is a quack. You can't accept anything but at face value and your arrogant mocking of anything outside the Adaquate radar is bullshit. Your new name is SC.
Yes. I wonder what could have given us that impression?
Tasteless and snide SC, could you inflate your ego anymore or is your evolution circle jerk causing less SC time?
You remember how I just explained to you that we're not particularly interested in the crazy fantasies that fester in your drug-addled mind?
Well, we're not.
speak for your self SC. Aliens are just other creatures in the galaxy and you are a small small man-child-cracker. Get over it, and stop hiding behind your precious "science".

Re: Ooooo! Additional Evidence of Our Alien Overlords
I think your alien and Bush link was interesting. But it was probably a fake, like the sci-fi channel commercial I used earlier. I don't know how much of this quackery is nonsense and what is actual facts. I think aliens exist, I don't know how to verify that but it works in the framework of my beliefs. Most of the links I provided are probably riddled with fake photo's. I don't believe most of them are real. Some of them are interesting but probably not aliens but actual earth origin ships.
The hollow earth travelers are probably getting honest connections with beings. I doubt they are godly creatures. I wouldn't trust any kind of wisdom they would have me believe. It is reminiscent of the Abraham Hicks saga. The fact that Ms. Hicks connects with another being is plausible due to the surmounted evidence and interviews she has done. Yet, it is highly possible she and these hollow earthers are getting swindled by malignant beings.
