Any ideas?

I am a member that believes in a hollow earth and that we share this earth with many others. am I crazy? I believe that ET operate on this planet in our military and Navy - should I be tarnished with the brush that of Jared?
Just because peoples way of thinking are different to so called main stream of what is acceptable to think doesn't mean that people need help. Just a little understanding would go a long way.edit on 14-1-2011 by franspeakfree because: (no reason given)
Somehow, definitions have gotten muddled in political correctness and free speech (as some practice it.)

I have a close relative who is mentally ill. It has been clear from her early teens that something is wrong. The family, who love her, did not ignore this problem, we actually did something, made sure that she got help.

It is our responsibility within our communities to look out for each other, If everyone took the time to just look after their immediate family, things like this wouldn't happen.

You don't have to become a Satanist to understand what they believe.

If by "Satanist" you are referring to The Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey, then you may not understand what they believe. If you read The Satanic Bible by LaVey, you will understand that Satanists do not believe in God or Satan. The focus on the symbolism of Satan was more of an opposition to the Church. These Satanists believe we each are our own God, are are fully aware that man created God and Satan. I see the philosophy as more or less hedonism with a Big Stick Policy. The media sensationalism surrounding satanism, usually concerning viloent teens who listen to metal or goth is never about Satanists. They are about cults that believe in God and Satan or confused people who think Marilyn Manson is a prophet.
