Or, do you only believe in one or the other: For example, you don't believe in aliens, but you do believe in demons; or, vice versa?
Thanks!

*I ask this because some say it is the fault of Eve while others blame satan. So what's the game here?

*Free will to me is like child play. You know by experience that you wouldn't leave a two year-old child alone in a glassware shop, wouldn't ya? So, what happened to God here? No easy answers please!

If our path is already laid out for us then how does free will work? I really dont have much free choice if God already has a plan for me.

This is the way I see the whole God leaving the tree in the Garden of Eden story. Adam and Eve were naive kids and the tree in the garden wasn't just a gun capable of hurting someone, but it was capable of bringing about the down fall of mankind, which it eventually did. So if I'm responsible for leaving a loaded gun around kids, how does a loving, all knowing God escape reponsibility for what happened with Adam and Eve?

Two Gay women and A straight guy that are friends hanging out sort of Mimicking the Idea of Will and Grace. As a straight guy it's natrual for me to assume Gay women hate stragiht men,(I know it's not true) But I never interact with them socially and I rarley see stragiht guys and Gay women chilling as freinds. (I'm not saying it doesn't exist I just rarely see it.) Where as Gay men and Straight women love each other. I'm wondering if some sort of new Hit TV show came out it may bridge the Gap a little bit. Do you think we will see it, will it help.

This one is for the followers of all religions and for atheists. You know your God and believe in Him, or if you're an atheist then you know and believe there's no God.

Have you ever wanted God to be different in some way? Have you ever thought while reading Bible, Qran, etc that maybe He should have had a different opinion for something, or acted differently? I think answering this should not be a reason for God's wrath - after all, you accept and love Him completely in all aspects of His existence, just like He accepts you as you are. He would probably want you to be a little better and holier, but he forgives your sins nevertheless. You could want the same and this does not mean you do not love and accept God.

So: have you ever wanted any change in your God? I don't know what it would be. Maybe more tolerance, or more intervention in our daily life, etc.

The same for atheists - would you like to live with God, and what would you like Him to be? No pink spaghetti unicorns, please.

After posting numerous questions in both communities I find it surprising, given the fact that science declares we should have an open mind that.....they are more closed to finding the Truth. They just dismiss thousands of years worth of beliefs for one that changes constantly with each new theory. The Ultimate Truth may never be found, but don't you think we should search? Peace and Love.

People are just like puppets in the hands of God and Satan. God has done a great deal to lead the people to the right path by sending messengers, giving Holy Books, etc. Even though sometimes Satan won over God. Here why should the people be sent to hell???

Does god feel that amputees are never worthy of having their prayers answered? Or could it be that no gods actually exist, and that the only time people get what they pray for is when it would have happened anyway in the natural course of events?

I feel like I've been cheated of getting a job. And now I'm bitter. It's not exactly income that I've earned, and it's a small amount anyway. I know I should not have any excuses, but like I said I'm bitter and life ain't that great financially. So seriously am I really cheating God or am I excused from having to tithe?

Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien "Et" Civilizations

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.




A former Canadian Minister of Defence has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on with Alien “ET” Civilizations. Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head." Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something." “Now is the time for open disclosure that there are ethical Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth,” a spokesperson for the Non-Governmental Organizations stated. “Our Canadian government needs to openly address these important issues of the possible deployment of weapons in outer space and war plans against ethical Extraterrestrial societies.”

OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.”

By “ETs,” Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting Earth.

On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."

Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something."

Hellyer revealed, "The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never in-the-loop."

Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."

Hellyer’s speech ended with a standing ovation. He said, "The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth emerge, so there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most important problems facing our planet today."

Three Non-governmental organizations took Hellyer’s words to heart, and approached Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa, Canada’s capital, to hold public hearings on a possible ET presence, and what Canada should do. The Canadian Senate, which is an appointed body, has held objective, well-regarded hearings and issued reports on controversial issues such as same-sex marriage and medical marijuana,

On October 20, 2005, the Institute for Cooperation in Space requested Canadian Senator Colin Kenny, Senator, Chair of The Senate Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence, “schedule public hearings on the Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, so that witnesses such as the Hon. Paul Hellyer, and Canadian-connected high level military-intelligence, NORAD-connected, scientific, and governmental witnesses facilitated by the Disclosure Project and by the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium can present compelling evidence, testimony, and Public Policy recommendations.”

The Non-governmental organizations seeking Parliament hearings include Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics Symposium, which organized the University of Toronto Symposium at which Mr. Hellyer spoke.

The Disclosure Project, a U.S.– based organization that has assembled high level military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence, is also one of the organizations seeking Canadian Parliament hearings.

Vancouver-based Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), whose International Director headed a proposed 1977 Extraterrestrial Communication Study for the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO, filed the original request for Canadian Parliament hearings.

The Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, presented by the organizations to a Senate Committee panel hearing in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 10, 2005, proposes that the Government of Canada undertake a Decade of Contact.

The proposed Decade of Contact is “a 10-year process of formal, funded public education, scientific research, educational curricula development and implementation, strategic planning, community activity, and public outreach concerning our terrestrial society’s full cultural, political, social, legal, and governmental communication and public interest diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet cultures now visiting Earth.”

Canada has a long history of opposing the basing of weapons in Outer Space. On September 22, 2004 Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin declared to the U.N. General Assembly,” "Space is our final frontier. It has always captured our imagination. What a tragedy it would be if space became one big weapons arsenal and the scene of a new arms race.

Martin stated, "In 1967, the United Nations agreed that weapons of mass
destruction must not be based in space. The time has come to extend this ban to all weapons..."

In May, 2003, speaking before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Lloyd Axworthy, stated “Washington's offer to Canada is not an invitation to join America under a protective shield, but it presents a global security doctrine that violates Canadian values on many levels."

Axworthy concluded, “There should be an uncompromising commitment to preventing the placement of weapons in space.”

On February 24, 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin made official Canada's decision not to take part in the U.S government’s Ballistic Missile Defence program.

Paul Hellyer, who now seeks Canadian Parliament hearings on relations with ETs, on May 15, 2003, stated in Toronto’s Globe & Mail newspaper, “Canada should accept the long-standing invitation of U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to launch a conference to seek approval of an international treaty to ban weapons in space. That would be a positive Canadian contribution toward a more peaceful world.”

In early November 2005, the Canadian Senate wrote ICIS, indicating the Senate Committee could not hold hearings on ETs in 2005, because of their already crowded schedule.

“That does not deter us,” one spokesperson for the Non-governmental organizations said, “We are going ahead with our request to Prime Minister Paul Martin and the official opposition leaders in the House of Commons now, and we will re-apply with the Senate of Canada in early 2006.

“Now is the time for open disclosure that there are ethical Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth,” a spokesperson for the Non-Governmental Organizations stated. “Our Canadian government needs to openly address these important issues of the possible deployment of weapons in outer space and war plans against ethical Extraterrestrial societies.”
