Because of the international code for "that's you, that is".
OK look, God bless, OK? We're fine.

Depending on how you phrase the questions, approximately the same percentage of the public believes in global warming as believe in alien visitors. Polls vary widely depending on when the poll is taken, who is asking the questions and how the questions are asked
A 2002 Roper poll showed that 55% of responders didn't think the government was telling the public everything it knew about UFOs and 48% believed the Earth was being visited by aliens. Compare these results to an April 2008 Pew poll that showed that 47% of responders believe that human emissions of greenhouse gases are causing catastrophic global warming.
In the case of the UFO believers, most do not believe the government is telling them everything. In the case of AGW believers one must conclude that most believe everything the government and MSM are telling them. I'd really love to know the extent of overlap in these two groups but that's not my point.
The whole global warming, "the end is near" issue is near and dear to me. I am not a climatologist or a meteorologist, but I have a very thorough background in science, statistics and critical thinking. In fact, almost 20 years ago I was initially a believer in anthropogenic global warming. The concept fascinated me so I decided to do some reading and educate myself. We all know what happens when you read the "real" science on the subject. You become a skeptic. I'm skeptical about a lot of things.

UFO STUFF is part of the Biblilcally predicted end times
signs in the heavens stuff and the global oligarchy tyrannical satanic government stuff.
Certainly people need to avoid wasting their time and be stewards of their time before GOD AS GOD LEADS EACH INDIVIDUAL.
Scripture exhorts, Christ exhorts to watch and be ready, prepared, oil in our lamps etc.
Some of us are persuaded of GOD AS WATCHMEN ON THE WALL before God to warn.
We will continue to do so.
Some luke-warm folks etc. may shift gears in time to avoid being spewed out . . .
I’m really not sure how could improve upon that sentence. It says exactly what I intended.
There is a “truth above all” mentality that some people have; and that mentality is unpragmatic, and it leaves those people prone to being manipulated by other, more pragmatic people.
the old “I’m a better Christian than you because I do the things I do, and you are not as good a Christian as me because you don’t do the things I do”
mm hmm. maybe you’d like some sackcloth & ashes to go with that phariseeic attitude?
Proof of something having landed is a far cry from proof of aliens.
You can claim the bar was raised but the simple fact is that the bar has so far been insurmountable right where it is.
Only a handful of men have been to the deepest parts of the ocean yet they have brought back proof that life exists there. Millions have seen things in the sky (including myself) that they couldn’t explain but not one has returned with proof of an alien life form.
It doesn’t say enough if it doesn’t communicate effectively.
One could say that CHRIST IS THE TRUTH . . . ABOVE ALL.
IF you are saying that folks who say
that THEIR construction on “truth”
THEIR criteria for assessing truth
is supreme above all others . . . more or less just because it’s THEIR’s . . .
perhaps I might make some sense out of your sentence.
Not at all. Hard to imagine how you construed that out of what I said.
I’m merely asserting that some of us . . . God has in the role of a WATCHMAN ON THE WALL . . . even and particularly about the UFO stuff.
I’m not a clueless idiot about God’s will for my life and HIS DOINGS IN my life.
I’m NOT IGNORANT about HIS instructions for me; training of me; support of me etc. in all such.
Some folks are not walking as close to God as they ought and are vulnerable to satan’s DECEPTIONS—THE END TIMES DECEPTIONS THE BIBLE WARNS ABOUT.
Warnings and instructions MAY WELL SAVE SOME SUCH FOLKS FROM THE FIRES OF HELL. I have no apologies about that.
When the critters are on the scene overtly and in the company of global government types or in obvious collaboration with such . . . delcaring and ‘proving’ that THEY created man; created all the religious leaders of history etc. etc. etc.
SOME FOLKS WILL LOSE THEIR FAITH.
I want to do what I can to minimize that.
That is part of my WATCHMAN mandate from God Almighty. You are not about to deter me from HIS CALLING for me.
Not in the slightest.
We shall see.
Enjoy that TYPE II ERROR STUFF.
I would think that for the “international code”
to work . . . I’d have to know it existed—which, interestingly, I did not . . .
AND
I’d have to use it with that intent . . . which I definitely did NOT.
Glad we’re cool.
Blessings,
Thanks Quix. There’s a decent number of people who claim to have been abducted by aliens and also claim that the abductors warned that Earthlings were destroying the Earth, or had better start being better stewards of the Earth (”pass the strange looking cutting instrument, Glak”) or else, etc.
INDEED.
I don’t know how much that is
1. disinformation pure and simple.
2. manipulating natural stuff they already knew was headed our way . . . toward their tyrannical advantage vis a vis the tyrannical global government.
3. some unknown combination of stuff.
