Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I don't think you can trust mere humans with such a sacred institution.

what do you think about this?

What would the aliens want with our planet? There are three major scenarios as to the noticed behind their actions:

They want to take over the planet and steal our resources.

They are explorers and observing us like a scientist studies an experiment from afar.

They want to show the human race that they are not alone in the universe, but due to our hostile nature, they have decided to slowly manipulate our species so that we will be more open to their existence.

If you couldn't guess, the third possibility is the most plausible given the data that has been collected. In our past, aliens' existence almost became common knowledge, due to mistakes on their part and some of our own.

When a ufo crashed outside Roswell, and was recovered by the military, their presence in our lives was broadcast around the world, only to be covered up the very next day by our government.

It was clear that our rulers didn't want us to find out the truth about our presence in the universe and of alien life, so they thought it better to collaborate with the visitors, gain technology, and keep their existence a secret.

This plan has worked for most of our past, except for the fact that the aliens have their own agenda, are seeking acceptance in our culture. The human race is being changed, slowly, even if it is one person at a time.

People are being abducted, tested, and altered genetically to allow for other portions of their brains, which control esp, telepathy, etc; to become active. In doing so, the human species will be able to interact on a new higher level of consciousness, see the futile practices of worshipping gods and fighting wars.

Along with direct manipulation of the human species, hybrids, crosses of aliens and humans are being made, so that they will be able to live amongst us without our knowing.

If the aliens were hostile, and wanted our planet for its resources, they would have taken it away from us centuries ago when we still thought the earth was the center of the universe, not now when we have nuclear weapons, lasers, and space crafts of our own.

I attended a Christian discussion group last night and they continually argued that without a "moral authority" (i.e. God), there's no standard for "right" or "wrong", and on this personal island where I make my own rules, no one could tell me that "rape" is "wrong".

Regardless of how I responded, I'd like to know how everyone else might retort.

So... who gets to tell me that I can't decide something is "right" on my little island if there's no divine arbitrator? And WHY do they have the authority to step in and declare what I'm doing to be "wrong"?

P.S. Please... don't lecture me on what a horrible person I must be. I'm playing Devil's advocate here... I'm not actually asserting my own views on rape.

Not only do they fight any legislation that would require an ounce of truth being told to their clients seeking counseling for an unplanned pregnancy (never refer clients to adoption agencies nor tell of financial assistance for having the child, at least in my area anyway) but now they decieve town and city governments about buildings they want built? If they have nothing to hide, why are they so deceptive in their tactics down to having buildings built?

I asked on Craigslist and searched the internet and there's nothing like that in my area, neither for kids nor adults.

How can I get the most attention, fun, and reward for the costumes I build, sew, and create for my kids every year?

Growing up in fundamentalist church, I began to see myself as almost the worst sinner ever created.

I left the church but it took me a long time to get over this.

LUCY: nearly all experts beleive was an unusual chimpanzee
HEIDELBERG MAN- built from a jaw bone that was conceded by many to be qutie human
NEBRASKA MAN- scientifically built from one tooth later found to be a tooth from an extinct pig
PILTDOWN MAN- jawbone from a modern ape
PEKING MAN- All evidence has disappeared!
NEANDERTHAL Man- Dr. AJE Cave said the skeleton ist hat of an old man with arthritis
NEW GUINEA MAN - dates back to 1970, species in north of AUstralia
CRO-MAGNON MAN- one of the earliest and best established fossils is at least equal in physique and brain capacity to modern man...so what's the difference?

That's every step of your evolutionary chain disporven! We end at modern man, a genius who thinks we came from a monkey.

how could 25 feet of water cover even the highest mountains? Isn't this evidence that the Flood was really just a local event and that the phrase "the world" really means "all the land in this general area"?

John 15

12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

So, fundies how often do you truly show Christ's love to others? Would you invite a homosexual, or other person that believes differently than you to your home for dinner? Would you invite them into the life of your church? Would you die for them?

Have you watched the names that supposed 'christians" call homosexuals...have you seen the hate filled rhetoric on this site, or from evangelists? Is this of God?

If you are a Christian, where is your love?

Sometimes when I answer and submit, the anser totally dissapears. Yet, I retype the same answer and submit it again and it works. And once I submitted an answer and it said thank you for reporting, but I didn't report anything, finally it popped back to the question and I got my answer submitted. Have any ideas, is this the works of a troll?

With British regulators recently giving the go-ahead for research on human-animal hybrid embryos towards replacement organ cloning and research into things like Parkinsons, Alzheimers and the like, this is no longer a sci-fi question. How do you feel about it?

In the longer term, the idea of biological uplift (genetically engineering animals to have intelligence and consciousness at human levels) or full-blown human-animal hybrids are also becoming important. What are your thoughts, and should such individuals be created, what kind of rights, if any should they have?

Flesh and Bone

D&C 130:22 : "The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as a man's; the Son also...".

Spectral / Invisible

D&C 38:1-7: "I am in your midst and ye cannot see me."

Alma 18:26-28 says God is a spirit, confirming John 4:24 ("God is a Spirit").

This is a hot topic that other Christians drool over to rip you to shreds. Save your long-winded rants Christians, I wanted to know what the passionate Mormon has to say about this.

If you say he is flesh and bone, think about the limits this type of vessel has. If he is modeled after regular human beings, as you claim, then he must eat, drink, excrete wastes, and sleep. If his brain contains as many neurons as a normal human brain, then he could not possibly begin to master time and space.

Do you think he shape-shifts or something?

Although Jesus was a Jew, the religious institutions created in his name proved difficulty for the Jews to embrace but attractive to Greeks. Explain this attraction and its subsequent success among Greek and Roman converts to Christianity. For example, what elements in the nativity and the Passion narratives seem particularly acceptable and culturally familiar to a pagan audience?

Hi I am a Non-Muslim and I have no inclination to ever become a Muslim. I am happy with my religion and I am proud of it.

The reason I am asking you this question is that I just saw a documentary called "Muslim in the family" in which 4 Non Muslims converetd to Islam for various reasons and they all seem to be more religius than many Muslims that I know. I was just wondering if there are any more people like them? What is their motivation of giving up their own heritage? So on and so forth.

So what do you think -
Would you ever consider of becoming a Muslim?

If yes then how far would you go to be known as a Muslim, like would you start wearing traditional Muslim dress, think of emigrating to a Muslim country, give up music etc.?

If no, then why would you not choose to convert to Islam?

Please accept my thanks in advance and I hope I haven't offended any one. I am just trying to look at it from a Non-Muslim's point of view.

Regards.

2Cor:13:5 "Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know your selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?"

How do we determine if we are actually in the true faith if all we look at is the material produced by our own religions?

Plus, for the Witnesses...If Jesus is the Angel Michael, how is he in you?

Cont'd ..."unless you are indeed disqualified," very important!

This woman I work with is exceptionally nasty. We used to be friends, then had a disagreement and now she throws her nose up in the air at me and won't even acknowledge my existence. She pretends that she doesn't even know me - I think it's freakin' immature and HILARIOUS as all get out!!! I crack up every time she does it.

Anyway, I've had some things thrown on my desk today that I would normally handle to help out my (any of my) co-workers, but I don't think I'll bother with helping her. Would you???
