This just in; the earth is flat because the Bible says so.
It's like Tommy Lee Jones says in Men In Black. 'A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.'
Just because the Bible talks about all this deception, and Satan, and 7 headed monsters coming out of the ocean, doesn't mean any of it is true. You have been deceived by a book that was written by hundreds of men, and edited by hundreds more, all spaced apart by hundreds of years. If that stuff was written now, it would be laughed at as the fiction it is (L. Ron Hubbard).
If you are going to attempt to belittle an entire religious group, at least be accurate in your statements. There is not one single place that the Bible states the world is flat. Seriously, where do people get such ideas??
Hmmmmm.....maybe where the Bible mentions the four corners of the earth?!?!?!?!?!?!
Does four corners not refer to a flat surface? Understand the Lord's word. If God says the earth is flat, then Goddammit the earth is flat.
That is a joke, right? Believe it or not, the earth was known to be round way back when, the four corners thing is a turn of phrase used even today.

Can you show me one example of a true man of God? Also as far as calling out to Jesus it is only if the person who calls out believes that Jesus can help them from being abducted. Otherwise calling out anyone or thing will do. If a person is strong enough they themselves could tell them no.
I really did not understand the first part of your attack I mean post, you do not understand my point.

Well, actually there are some who have done a scientific investigation. though, I doubt it would be to anyone's likeing, nor would it be accepted.
I have been a "Western Ceremonial Magician" for around 40 years, so I do in fact have lots of exirence and data in these areas. I also am fairly telepathic; and, contrary to what anyone wants to accept, I have had the oportunity to "talk" with, and meet (in person) some of the species that are generating all of this.
And, guess what! None of them are demons! None of them are "dimensional". They are simply people who have had the misfortune to be born on another world....not unlike myself.
These arguents; that ETs are demons, are exactaly the same as the arguments of not so long ago about Black People. You know, at one time, Blacks were an "inferior race" to all the Whites. The lacked the ability to learn among other things, and, I' sure there were lenty of religous / Bible base arguments in favor of the idea. Over time you have learned that it simly wasn't so, and B;acks are equal in al respects to any other color.
You also need to understand that "demonizing" the enemy is the first things any culture must do for its own protection (or so some would think). Thus making it a reaction of "prejudice" rather than any kind of "thought out" hyothesis.

"Alright, so you disagree with the Bible. That's your prerogative. However, when things in the Bible match with things happening regarding so-called "aliens", and you ignore that, well, that isn't very logical. At the least, some recognition should be given."
Well not Really, I think its pretty likely that a lot of the parts in the bible that speak of "rings of fire in the sky" or the classic "wheels within wheels" are simply ancient man misunderstanding what they are seeing. They see something they can't explain, they try to explain it in whichever way they can.
So no this shouldn't help the bibles case at all. the apparent "UFO" encounters in the bible surely challenge the books validity and help prove that a lot of its been lost in translation.

We criticise the religion not the followers, stop being so touchy.
At the time of "Jesus" it was common knowledge that the world was flat.
Now where in the bible does it say its round?

Like I said before, us "non believers" prefer not to believe anything or anyone who claim to know everything.
Leaving every possibility open, not counting out your Christian views. I've considered them, I was bought up in a Christian family.
The thing is all we do as humans is learn. The bible I think is a pretty good description of what we knew at the time which is why I don't think its relevant today.
Of course, we only think we know. Most things we "learn" get proven wrong.
Which means we have to get it all wrong first to learn anything at all.

Yeah to be fair the bible doesn't really say much about it, theres just as much hinting its round in there as there is the flat idea
Guess everyone had their own opinion or just didn't really think about it in those days.
Does too.

Any person with brains could clearly see the deception behind these so called E.T's. or Space Brothers.
Calling anyone who doesn't agree with you brainless is not a clever why to put forward a theory.
I didn't say you had to agree, just use your brain.

Imo, noone knows what those balls of light are. Some of them are surely natural electric charges of some kind, others seem to be under sentient control. Whatever they are, I don't think anyone really knows.
If you believe it's 'the devil', be aware that is purely a matter of belief. Why should I subscribe to that?
It's sad to read so much venom and attacks on Christians for expressing their beliefs.
