My hope is that a direct encounter with ET's will be the intervention that religions need, to stop killing each other and start working together. And understand new truths, and come to mutual understanding of the universe. After being taught by an alien race that is far ahead of us in knowledge and intelligence.
But It possibly already happened a long time ago, before religions existed. And once gone, religions based on greed proliferated.
So any new alien encounter, has to convince the billions of brainwashed masses that the aliens know better and can show them a more fruitful way to "salvation"...
That'll never happen because they won't let go. So we'll end up as a society where people believe in crazy radical supernatural thoughts, or accept science.
Kind of like where we are now... minus the aliens...

We are ALL God's children .... is that a difficult position to understand? Some of us are more developed than others (you know, conservatives over liberals, Republicans over Democrats - man over monkey --- you know, that kind of stuff). But that doesn't mean that they aren't God's children.
I wonder how atheists - with their inherent egocentric position of being the highest life form in the world would react.

I guess it's sort of like calling nature a she, a car a she, & referencing non living items by gender, which in context of knowing the teaching of non form is ok, but once out of context like the surrounding Helenized culture or Babylonian influences of figures and deities distort and distract from the context thus the physical wording on non physical concepts or names that are actually descriptions, become problematic especially in an archaic age with poor
communications.
This is one of the reasons you constantly see my posts become long winded with an overly use of parenthesis in my attempt to overly explain and be more concise to what I'm intending to convey. A central source of teaching (a Mikdash),clears up assumptions, mistakes, transliteration errors etc, but for some reason the world refuses equal rights to Jews to have what they have, a main central spiritually authoratative Temple.
So the Virtual Temple will have to suffice until the VALIDATING physical platform is built.
The term 'Sanctuary of God', the place where the messiah will lead people to, is not a Temple or any made made building on a certain piece of real estate.
The sanctuary of God simply means divine providence, something that cannot be made by man...
You want to lead the Jewish people to defile themselves with the work of human hands so you can be the head butcher in a glorified slaughterhouse....
You are no messiah. You are a bad actor with delusions of grandeur.
Says the guy who thinks he's going to live with his invisible superhero when he dies.
No, I am never going to know what it is to die and by the look of things you may very well never know what it is to become a living being.
Seriously, you say you are open to evidence of God but you haven't done a thing to prepare yourself for such an encounter, you haven't done a thing to save your soul from the deeper implications of present events.
If you were invited to a black tie event where the King of the universe was in attendance and you showed up dressed in filthy rags and reeking of vomit, you wouldn't get pass the doorman who would throw you out into the darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The thoughts in your mind come across like a steaming pile of stir fried shit.
Is it any wonder why you see no evidence of God or that if he does exist he doesn't seem to give a shit about you?

No, there are the living and the dead. There is no in between. The resurrected dead are living beings, not zombies.
Dead people are everywhere walking around like regular people. They don't see each other, they see only what they want to see.
They don't know that they are dead.
You would be the zombie.

No, its not about agreeing with me.
The openly revealed contents of your addled mind show that there is no light or life in you.
What does come out of your mind suggests that you died and descended into the netherworld, pal, when you were prepubescent.

That is definitely a new and creative
ad hominem by them. They went from calling their critics "on drugs", "insane", "retarded", and now Zombies.
Leah Remini is describing Scientologists methods of handling critics called
"Bull Baiting" and basically she is describing the exact tactics Christians use.
Cults need to use ad hominem responses to protect itself from unpopular truth they can't answer to-refute or address.
That's why it's addressed in the very first chapter of my book, because cultist can't deprogram if they don't notice the defense mechanisms they use to block out good sound logic and unpopular truths, so they end up accepting known lies as their
reality, even after they've been proven lies.
(like a child holding their fingers in their ears proclaiming "lalalalala I don't hear you")
©2001 Keepers of the Unpopular Truth
from Chapter 1
The Basic 10 Tactics Used in Arguments to Avoid Unpopular Truth:
1) The ad hominem argument. Seen too often when someone is attacking the arguer with personal rants, often mixed with false testimony. This never addresses the argument itself; it is only a smokescreen and avoidance technique to avoid unpopular truth.
2) The argument from authority. Though there must be independent confirmation of the facts, they seek to avoid unpopular truth by citing a favorite authority.
3) The argument from adverse consequences. Pointing out dire consequences of an "unfavorable" decision, like going to hell, needing to be saved, and other condemning and degrading commentary, all used to avoid unpopular truth.
4) The argument from absence of evidence. Merely stating their opinion, which is unfounded in substance and not backed by any reality, reason, or proof, relying on the bare false claim or observation per se to avoid unpopular truth. Obviously they have no foot to stand on, nor any substance to offer.
5) The smokescreening attempt. A drawing away from the attention of the original point or argument by putting up a smokescreen between them and the unpopular truth.
6) The blatant denial. Displacing everything; always refusing to admit to anything, sometimes in the form of accusing others instead, in order to displace the blame and guilt they associate with acceptance of the unpopular truth.
7) Making it disappear by not wanting to address it; in other words running away or trying to hide or censor the unpopular truth by flooding posts or banning the messenger of the unpopular truth.
8) The selective observation. Picking and choosing small portions sometimes even outside the context to avoid the main or whole issue addressed. Often used as part of the smokescreen and avoidance tactic.
9) The drawing of conclusions from inadequate sample sizes. Forgetting the many times something never occurred while dwelling on the few times or one time it did occur, thus being selective in what they want to see.
10) The inconsistency factor. Contradicting themselves and/or their own scriptures and/or icons, sometimes playing both sides of the field switching back and forth to whichever fits their arguments in a misguided need to save face when confronted with the unpopular truth. So there you have the ten basic mental scapegoats used to avoid unpopular truth. Accordingly we will never get to where we want and need to be, until we learn to face the unpopular truth head on without these excuses.
The first step is to actually hear what the speaker is saying. The problem is that, when you hear or see something that's unpopular but true, you start evaluating and conceptualizing it as it gets amplified through emotions in a quick short stage of processing in which you are compelled to make a hasty decision. This decision is filtered by prior experiences, fears, and even pride, which in the end changes the perception or the input to what you are willing to accept of it and not what that input was intended to be viewed or understood. These extraneous outside factors affect your honesty within your own belief system as well as subject to simple errors distorting ones outlook on the subject.
That is why there is always a problem being a real honest teacher in a world that seeks displacement and excuses rather then insightful solutions. It seems it is always the teachers of the unpopular truth throughout the ages who have been persecuted, not for who they were and what they offered, but because they hit the raw nerve of the ego of man or were a threat to the status quo.
Ever hear of the good teacher is unpopular syndrome? Students hate the teacher who tries to get them to do work and stay straight in their path in order to grow in intellect and purpose. However, they love the teacher who lets them get away with everything. So to them the good teacher is evil, but the failed teacher is nice, even though in reality the poor teacher is not leading them to be all they could and should be. It's like the gentiles who have love for Paul the apostate Pharisee who removes all homework (deeds and commands), but have dislike for the true Jews who tried to teach these proper values that brought civility.
