An argument against alien intervention: it's highly unlikely.

An argument in favor is the percipitous decline of the Egyptian culture after the time of the pyramids; building projects confined themselves to single-story mastaba-style (e.g., Hapshetsut's tomb) buildings, and the odd obelisk, and the culture never advanced any further...very odd...and, indeed, was unable to deflect the Greeks (Alexander), or the Romans (Antony; Caeser), or indeed anyone else.

So, little silver-skinned alien helper pals, yes, or no?

I wonder why God granted Einstein the genius mind to create E=MC*-I wonder why Dr. Livingston lived with the diseases he did to create cures among the people that did not believe in Christ and yet he saved them to live uponj this earth-I really don't wonder I know that no matter if all the christians in the world came together in one fantastic moment of glory and prayed that God wipe out Aids-that it would not go away until a realist-who dedicated himself to his studies and sacrificed hours upon hours of his time working with the sick and dying was able to alienate the cause and find the cure much like Vaccines have done for those of us here in America and education has done to keep us healthy-and yet you religious types will hang a vindictive title upon me that was created to cause discention and discrimination so that one being considered A or A would be cast out. Your religion is wicked in its own right and you support a God that admittedly "HAS HIS CHOSEN CHILDREN" prejudiced basta

So here it is: my husband and I are in a financial mess these days, as I am sure many of you are. More importanty, a very good friend of ours is currently battling cancer as a single father. I myself am being finally forced to trust completely in God as I should have been doing all along(lean not on my own understanding).

So I would like to ask for your prayers for my friend and my family, and I would also like to extend myself to you, if there is any request you would have me pray for. If I get reported or suspended, so be it; I just thought I'd give it a whirl.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundand through Christ."

- 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

God Bless!!

What are the conditions set aside(if any) that are required in becoming a Messenger for God?
Would a prophet need to have been of the same belief/religion beforehand?
What would happen if they took the job?
What would happen if they refused the job?

My question is why is it we could try and convince you (that's you in general, not anyone specifically) that a tree has leaves on it only if you're looking at it and you'd gladly debate the subject all day long. But try and have a discussion about "religion" and all a 'yall want to get up in arms. Do you all feel that way if someone tried to get you to believe in Buddah or Muhammad or Krishan? Hmmm?

OK first, I am NOT racist. My husband is Samoan, his children are black and I am white. I see all these people talking about how proud hey are of their races and thats COOL! There are clubs with like, Black power or Hispanic pride.. etc. Now, I am NOT proud of what white people have done to scar races of the past but, how unfair that there isnt some sort of club I could join without being called a racist or something like that. If I was racist than I wouldn't be with my loving and wonderful husband of 6 beautiful years and I also wouldn't know his awesome children either. They have made my life all the better. When I see them or ANY other race... I dont see color, I see people. I know there are going to be alot of people mad at this and I apologise but just set me strait ok? I want to be proud of who I am too without all the awful, unforgivable things of the past. Did I even ask a question?...lol. I guess its more of a statement really.

I had always loved the boss's secretary, Muriel, but thought she was way out of my league. But when Muriel came up with 567 candles on her birthday cake, then broke down and said she was even older than that, was a 600-year-old vampire, and had sucked everybody in the office but me, including the boss, and now lusted to taste my fluids, the personnel manager overheard our conversation and turned pale. "You put age 20 on your job application!" he yelled. I reacted with sheer horror, then the boss walked in and said, Yes, the secretary had sucked him, thank you, and what was some miserable little **** of a personnel manager going to do about it? I said I didn't believe in vampires, and then you know what he did? He bared his fangs and bit me on the neck, said, "There! That'll fix you! Don't be a prude, join the crowd." Do you turn into one from one little suck? I like my boss, but won't go to any more of their sick parties! Becoming a vampire could affect my whole future.
