... Hello there George. I seldom think of good and evil in terms of "Christian" meanings. As for the dichotomy of the spiritual and the physical, that was the...
Someone said << I am not convinced that "God is Love". In fact, I am convinced that God is in no way "love", and that this notion of "God=love" is completely...
What if the aliens are already here and are the ones who are manipulating us into being what we are, rather than what we would be without their manipulations?...
March 1, 2003 Hi Lordphoenix, I'm assuming (hoping) that you just wrote this in jest, and that this is not something that you would actually give any...

We are all puppets until we realise we are being manipulated and find the courage to break free and go our own way. I find it interesting how many gnostics,...

I often see God more equated with fear than love by most peoples and religions that claim to know him. It seems their god loves those the most who also fear...

Nancy, I've read a few theories that are somewhat similar to Lord Phoenix's. Here's a link to a long but interesting essay. I'm really not sure how I feel...

Perhaps some of those Aliens don't want to be here in the first place. Perhaps they are just like the spirit trapped in matter. "A stranger in a strange...
MM Emet I tend to agree with what you put forward here. Though I don't see us as trapped. Rather I see us as willing participants of a school as it were. Kinda...
