That hadn't even occurred to me..but looking again it seems to be very deliberate exaggerated movements. Or it was a visiting alien tasting champagne for the first time.

Impossible to say how many of which stories are metaphors...or products of some limits on vocabulary. There are stories upon stories of the old greek and roman gods and the naughty/often cruel behavior. People were adamant in their belief of them. Who is to say they weren't around...maybe some group of aliens with some powers that would be astonishing in the day. They well could have existed....but to a people with limited experience to draw from things might look a lot different. Birds could be space ships and what might be simple tricks for aliens would seem miraculous. Still might today in some instances.

I tend to do that..no disrespect meant...but I humanize God to make him more accessible...more comprehensive to me. Wonder what his days are like...his feelings...I know we cause pain..hurt. I liked the show Joan of Arcadia...and the theme song..What if God were one of us...far better than my Grandmother and her Southern Baptist ....fire and brimstone BS. They had kids half terrified of God....not good

well Orion was a pal of Zeus so maybe the guy who came down to lecture started the whole 'lightening bolt' thingy LOL Well that stuff up there beyond the atmosphere...just empty space??? Like under the bed? Closet space? Chuckle. Wonder what God calls this stuff?? Human chaos? Those brats are at it again?? Wonders about another flood...no...I promised...no more floods..hmmm...lightning bolts? Alien invasion? Hmmm..those little green guys really owe me...Imagine what one of His days is like LOL

I'm with you on the name..it's a earth type reference. Doesn't make sense an alien would name his world after one of our Greek myths.

Welllllll...I read (a few years back) after having a bit of a death experience and coming back with a message...I read encounters others have had and experiences with 'heaven' upon dying briefly. A couple of them mentioned seeing not just 'our' kind but what looked like 'grey's and other different beings. I really wouldn't expect anything less. God's universe..his 'children' ...only a great egotist would think he only created humans. We're supposed to be created in his image. Does that mean we look like him or we are alike to him in other respects? Maybe a variation of the 'good book' appears on all planets or something similar. Why would we be the only 'miracles'?? Who knows how many 'faces' the guy has...how many hats he wears. Omnipotent.... I read a joke the other day...sort of a yuk yuk....the first computer was an apple. One bite and everything crashed. Could God be an AI...super computer?? Vast across space and time...are we children of a Matrix'ish thing???
If you're willing to stretch your mind...everything is possible and anything. We have certain concepts we are raised with and maybe there is a reason for that. It's our 'program'. If I were going to create a race of people..or many..I'd provide them with rules of conduct ...spiritual awareness...consequences...
Ok now my brain is going to do a slow melt down over this for the duration of the day and night....'sigh'.....

You are one woman baffling entertainment. The security thing really seems troubling...have you ever had a problem at airport securities? And if I'm not mistaken that's not the first 'odd' man you've noticed. Gee...you wearing a sign that says..'encounter here' or something???

This used to be a happy place...a meeting of minds...a sharing of information, experiences and concerns. Now..it seems to be a shadow of its former self, a collection of a few 'die hards'. Once upon a time we had discussions. We lost a very long time member not so long ago...no one discussed Spotless. He was never mean, just happy when he came here. I know 'Skywalker' is busy tooling around the country...and others have left for other reasons. Auntie is still busily posting articles but that seems to be the only activity here anymore. I stayed here because the people were real and open and smart ...yes Plutronus..even you (which you won't see cause you left). I miss Cliff and I sure miss Swampie and I haven't seen JC in ages. There is an echo here now that is very sad...I see dust gathering in the corners...some cobwebs (well at least there are some spiders hanging in there)...No Casper..no wild ghost stories....common Sky surely in your travels you've run into big foot (not literally) I hope. JC...monster foot prints?? No saucers on the front lawns? The Navy did release an article about some witnessed saucers playing tag with them a couple of years back. No vampires?? Just gonna let it die?

Everyone is so afraid of saying the wrong anything...anymore. There are parts of history that are horrible...good grief...the Inquisition...Hitler's Germany...Slavery...we can't take it back but we also cannot erase it. We're supposed to learn and grow from these things not become rooted in them. I personally...burned no witches...nor held slaves...nor persecuted Jewish folk. It's as bad as the confrontation over freakin politics. EVERY PERSON is entitled to an opinion and every person believes themselves to be right. I may not like some policy...I may not like a president or a candidate...that is MY right. Not to be bashed because of what I believe....but also not to force it down another person's throat...I feel the same way of religion..we do not all think alike...we are not supposed to...but believe me we will all get to the same place eventually... I am so disappointed over those who left the forum over something as freakin filthy stupid as politics. Those were our friends...at least I thought of them as such.

I'm afraid that quite a few missing children were abduction of human kind, not alien kind. Predators exist everywhere...imagine walking down the street...how many did you pass? How could you possibly know? We have more evil on this planet via our own kind than demons or aliens I think. Not that there are not cases too that are not human caused. I am sure there are many. There were stories about 'fairies' taking children and leaving a changeling for hapless people to raise. Oh what IS the bird that does that...lays it's egg in another bird's nest for it to raise this huge bird child. Cowbirds and Cuckoos..I think both. Since there are so many of these stories and from so long ago...there must be some grain of truth to them. Like the 'little people' Leprechauns..these stories start somewhere...somewhy. I can easily believe an 'interdimensional' thing ..parallel earth..doorways/portals that others have learned to use...it would sure explain a lot.
I so agree Sky...what is the point if no one cares? No matter how frustrated I might be..or even depressed which doesn't happen to me often..I know I have those who care. We even have HERE...a place where we're virtually unknown but still cared about...at least I feel that way. I have real friends I have made here. Bared my soul so to speak in ways I couldn't in person. In the 'real world' I have to be different people..adaptable to those who need me to be a certain way. Here..I'm closer to being an actual ME. Hmmm. I miss people I do not see here for awhile. And we seem to all have come here for a reason..a need. So I think it's important to keep it going.
Fairies I'm not sure tho..I think some of them might have been kinda mean....there ARE those stories LOL

You can always...give people your opinion..what you believe in...what you hold dear. They will take that to heart if they need or choose to. God doesn't cause bad things. That is the hard part for people. If he's so great why does it cause all of this? He doesn't. But if we ask...he will give the strength to overcome. We come here to experience. To grow/develop/and to enrich the soul. How does a soul grow if not by experiences joy and tears. A minister or a priest passes on his/her belief....opinion...because the reality of it is that no one knows..and that is the definition of faith. But if you honest to god deep down FEEL it...it's worth passing on because even if only one person is helped...that IS the one person who was meant to be helped. My neighbor's mother. I often speak of her because she's for some reason captured my interest. She is 90...and faithless for all I can SEE. If you asked her..she would say she believes in God. She went to church when her son was alive because he wanted to go and they lived together. She looks down on her daughter's faith because it's not 'organized' and Catholic. She does not pray...she has no grace I can see. Mean to her grand kids when no one is around ..but being the next door neighbor with the open window..I hear it. She tries to bully them as she thinks every thing has been taken from her. When her son was alive they were like a 'couple'...she felt.. she ruled her apartment. When he died and she moved in with her daughter..she became this bitter woman who isn't smart enough to turn to the one thing that might help her. God. Who might give her enough grace to enjoy her children and grandchildren before she moves on. Now you know...eventually she'll have to sort that out. I never want to be that woman. I have a lot of reasons for clinging to what I believe...she's one of them.

hmmm...I do not think any human heart is evil. I don't think the devil makes us do anything. That....is our own free will. There are diseases of the mind that cause people to hear voices telling them to do horrible things...(schizophrenia) but when medicated...there are no voices...is that the devil? Do you suppose pedophiles are the devil's doing or a choice some very sick people make...from what I understand...those with problems like that are like addicts trying to stay away from heroin...
Frankly I think the devil and evil are faces we choose to blame rather than to own bad behavior. Kids who shoot kids...the devil or gang initiation?. It's the choices we make from the situations we face that will define us. Eventually we will account for those choices...evaluate them...process.
If you attract the 'downtrodden' they are seeing in you someone to give them some hope...what's wrong in that? Is it evil when someone laughs at someone's misfortune? Comedy on tv is filled with it. Pratt falls..etc. So is that the devil too? Or misguided human nature. We're not very good people you know...we come equipped with both good and evil cain and able...right in one tidy package. We do horrible things...we are cruel to animals...we beat children...molest them...kill them...kill each other...yell at our families...say words that can never be taken back...and for all of that....we have a choice...it's on us. God protect us from evil...we are the evil...within. God protect us from ourselves.

I loved the X files too. Lately I've been watching Lucifer (recently moved to Netflix) and it's pretty cool. A couple of newer movies on my 'bucket list' for TV entertainment. Over all for it's era...X files was great...broadened a few minds.. I liked outer limits and twilight zone but found a few of them pretty disturbing notedly 'to Serve Man' ...the cookbook for humanity LOL

I actually have no enemies...and I really try hard to keep it so. I also figure it's never up to mankind to judge others that it's God's job. Education does make for a lot but I figure heart and common sense are so much a part of us also. One is learned the other felt. My parents didn't see fit to encourage my education...they were pretty busy with their own miseries. Left such things up to my own mind and God..not that they figured he'd figure into it. I didn't have a lot of formal religious education...wasn't told to read the bible... They did send me one summer to bible school and a few times to various churches on Sunday. Father then said...make up your own mind. Baptist (Southern) was a big part of his growing up and I don't think he liked it...never perpetuated it. So from what I gleaned I did make up my own mind...and felt my way through a lot of emotions. A lot of anger at God...then a lot of realization that it was him who raised and protected me...not them. I figure if he cared that much...he was the horse to back. We're alike...with a few differences...you and I but not many I think.

I'm not sure I can agree with all of that. We are supposed to question...to think and to wonder....then ultimately hold onto faith when there just are no answers. Faith is literally belief with no proof...other than the depth of our own feelings/heart. I always wonder about things like Lucifer...what went wrong...why he felt as he did...and inevitably the price he paid...but I also wonder about the emotions of God. We are created in his image so he must have all of the same emotions..just off the scale we can fathom. And who do you tell your troubles too if you're God? I know it's ok to wonder. And I wonder about the holy men...priests/ministers/guru's etc who 'know' they have the right answers and the right to counsel others. Do they? Do they have any more answers than the ones we can find in ourselves if we only look? This is the way of mankind. We'll follow anyone who we think has the 'answers'. Those in Jamestown did...Heaven's gate...every religion out there.
If we are without sympathy, pity, empathy for all others (including the lowly snail stomped on) how evolved are we really? We are given this life to learn, to grow to evolve...and most of us are just going through the motions of existence. Oh I did a great thing today...helped so and so take a bath....stayed on my diet....got my chores done. Day in and day out. What did we do for the heart and soul...for the mind. If I ponder the sins of the devil with some sort of compassion...then it's God given compassion not something placed there by some evil essence. I come equipped with a wealth of compassion and the ability to see both sides of any argument. And then to realize...there isn't a darn thing I can do to help most situations. Now that's frustrating. Arguments erupt at work between my daughter and her boss...I try to explain his side only to raise her hackles even more. They are quite alike in ways she'd kill me for saying. I don't think that's psychic...but that IS why I quit being a phone psychic. The compassion for the people..knowing they were spending their rent money coming to me for ANSWERS. We're all hunting those and believe it or not..no one has the answers...only opinions. I can see parts of a person's path not what they're going to do when given choices...that's the whole free will thingy. Which I don't agree with either. I've said this before...if I pick up a gun and shoot my neighbor..that was my own free will to do that regardless of any punishment for it. Was it her free will to be shot that day? Doubtful...so what happened to her free will? Was it to open the door and let me in? Sketchy at best.
We say glib things like 'the devil made me do it' ...did he? Did we choose to act then find a scapegoat in evil personified? I think what we don't do as humans is take responsibility for those actions a great deal of the time. It was the aliens...the devil...my husband...my wife...I stole the money to feed my kids...were there other options? Of course.
Off my soap box now. Happy day all.

hmmm I think maybe we who come here are all a tad bit complicated...most of us by our experiences...some I suppose inherited it. My family was the definition of complicated LOL. I'd rather think those complications make us interesting. And I agree Paulette...I have chunks that don't fit into my perspective of myself..stuffed in a drawer in my brain..like the drawer in the kitchen that everything gets piled in. I empty the one in the kitchen yearly and start all over. I think I may keep reinventing myself that way too...or pieces of me I'm not fond of. We attract the 'weirdness' in some fashion. I'm sure Randy's family does...mine does...I think all of us here do. It's what we do/handle...that counts I guess Always nice to see you here Paulette

Well a head cold can stop psychic abilities cold (pardon the pun). And yeah it does often run in families..we never talked about it..I'd never confide in one of my sisters..they spent so much time looking down their noses at me I'm surprised they didn't have nose bleeds...(me..non conformist). But my older sister was very close to my father and she did tell me sometime back that after his death she saw him once...and was very put out it was only once. I just figured he had other things to do besides listen to her wail. I'm in a mean mood...some days are like that. First off...cat escaped at 7 am and I ran all over this complex before catching the idiot. Then...dog peed on carpet...had to wash said rug....then dog was upset cat was in it's bed and started rooting around to move it..got tangled in cords..knocked a wax melt thingy over onto the carpet wall and himself. Fortunately it's not very hot and it's soft. Washed wall carpet and dog... didn't get to work because of said lunacy.....there just ARE days. Is what it is And the tide comes in and goes out...just IS. I did tell you about the couple of people who stopped, turned and stared at me with a really fixed glare not so long ago. That was a creepy feeling because that spidey sense said they knew me somehow or knew something in me. I can relate a little to what you go through...but yours are so much more intense. Still if it hasn't truly harmed you so far...I'm guessing it can't because of your relationship with God. I have and have had for so many years that strong relationship too..my need a lot more than his...but I KNOW it protects me and has my family for many years. A LOT of people want to know and understand the 'unseen' part of our world but there are lots of things to be worried about. Ouija boards can be reallllly dangerous if you don't have protection...lots of things can be...there ARE portals that are doors to other dimensions that are not so common or friendly. I think that is how we end up with things like the Mothman and the Jersey Devil. Stranded travelers? Think may be so. Keep your eyes open and a prayer handy

Bad cop karma?? You have to be some kind of an 'attractant' to things...and not just paranormal things. For some reason things are drawn to you more than to the average person so it wouldn't be surprising that alien things might find you fascinating too. Thing is..you feel it. I'm guessing some people are that way but don't know they are...and that's the difference. You know but don't know why and that would be really hard...and at times probably makes you feel you're going stir crazy. Careful someone might be inclined to want to study you.
