There is an odd connection in the news that the state government of New York might soon cease to function, the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, and the exploding federal deficit with the report that there might be methane based life on one of Saturn's moons, Titan. The connection is the secret hope that Space Messiahs from Titan will somehow save us from all these mounting problems. This despite the fact that actual proof of even the most basic life forms on Titan is extremely tenuous:
New findings have roused a great deal of hoopla over the possibility of life on Saturn's moon Titan, which some news reports have further hyped up as hints of extraterrestrials.
...All this excitement is rooted in analyses of chemical data returned by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. One study suggested that hydrogen was flowing down through Titan's atmosphere and disappearing at the surface. Astrobiologist Chris McKay at NASA's Ames Research Center speculated that this could be a tantalizing hint that hydrogen is getting consumed by life.
"Suggested..." "speculated..." "could be..." "tantalizing hint..." And based on these incredibly weak pegs I guarantee you there is a plethora of folks out there hoping, praying that there are Methane Messiahs on Titan just waiting for the moment to offer us salvation from our many sins, including political, environmental, and budgetary sins.
Think I'm kidding?

Methane Messianic FYI
LOL!!! But I bet if Charles Henrickson had a sign in front of his church announcing a sermon on the subject of Methane Messiahs, he would have a record turnout due to curiosity.
Well, if folks are praying for Methane Messiahs, doesn’t that conflict with their belief in global warming? After all, methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
They must be ELCA...
LOL! But really, I don’t want to intrude into your area of expertise but I really think the topic of how people so readily buy into the idea of Space Messiahs for salvation might make for an interesting sermon topic.
Boy, you all do great work with your signs. Rev. PJ, can you give us the context of your sermon?
That would be contained in the article posted. But I bet Charles would have a very big turnout with that sermon theme...especially from the curious who see that sign.
Well, I read the article. It wasn't a sermon, so I thought I'd find what you had preached to the "faithful" Methane Messiah cultists...
