Those who held "religious views"drew strength from the biblical text: "And other sheep have I that are not of this fold" (John 10:16). Both clergy and laypeople read in this passage the implication that there had been a separate creation of the inhabitants of fairyland. Martin Luther could be called to witness; he had believed in the existence of supernatural creatures and insisted on the reality of changelings. Thomas Lake Harris, the mystic, poet, and religious leader, had incorporated fairies into his system of belief. John Henry, Cardinal Newman, did not exclude them from his. At least one Scottish Protestant minister thought, as he told W. Y. Evans-Wentz, that fairies were still extant, though only visible to those in a state of mystical ecstasy Evans-Wentz himself believed fairies to be analogous to Christ in their ability to become invisible--as He had done at His Ascension and Transfiguration.

This might sound strange, but, there are many striking simularities between the lore of the Good Neighbors and the behavior of the 'aliens' of modern ufo abduction lore.

Okay, I'm not being sarcastic nor disrespecting you. Have you ever thought about writing short stories / novels / philosophical books? You have so much to say. Have you got a web site or even a blog? You could put all the things which you mention from 'Answers' down and add illustrations.
