Anyone that has spent any time honestly looking at the facts should be able to at least acknowledge that something is happening here. Exactly how you choose to explain it however is up for debate.<BR/><BR/>I must say that this whole conclusion that in the genuine cases the "Aliens" must be Demons to be quite shallow. It does seem quite likely that not all "advanced" beings (by comparasion to us) have pure intentions, however the dualistic cosmology of Angels and Demons fails to account for the complexity of Spiritual phenomena, and life in general, and hence it seems oversimplistic. Clearly, not all beings in the non-phyiscal realsm are all "love and light", but the Christian explanation falls well short from my perspective.<BR/><BR/>"Skeptimal", Most westernized countries have openly published files documenting carefully reported cases of UFO sightings. The actuall "abduction" cases are far more fuzzy, but take a good look at the overall phenomena and it is clear that something is happening.<BR/><BR/>Take care everyone,<BR/>God BlessJim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815483599664355248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38434833.post-86251229670627450502009-02-13T14:18:00.000-08:002009-02-13T14:18:00.000-08:00Thank you for linking to my blog.

But it is important for Christians to remember there is a real spiritual world out there, hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, and that they aren't just 'out there' - they're active here. <BR/><BR/>To God be all glory, <BR/>Lisa of LongbournLisa of Longbournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497065661948900794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38434833.post-65143346592697864372008-11-30T13:03:00.000-08:002008-11-30T13:03:00.000-08:00"At best, they are mental delusions, at worst they..."At best, they are mental delusions, at worst they are demonic attacks."<BR/><BR/>That statement pretty much confirms that I'm a lot closer to being a faith healer than you are to being a skeptic.skeptimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380245121370373104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38434833.post-49068003039508975432008-11-30T05:47:00.000-08:002008-11-30T05:47:00.000-08:00skeptimal - my skepticism is healthy within my wor...skeptimal - my skepticism is healthy within my worldview - I have examined the evidence and found the idea of UFO, aliens, etc, wanting.

Don't lend them credibility by suggesting they have a paranormal explanation. All you're doing is putting yourself in the league of these (at best) misguided people. <BR/><BR/>This is one of the problems of believing in gods: it limits your ability to practice skepticism of *any* unusual claim.skeptimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380245121370373104noreply@blogger.com
