I like your pix, and this gives me an opportunity to say that I just read recently that Smith was exposed to universalism prior to his becoming a, well, ‘prophet,’ and I wondered if you had read that also, and what you might think of the influence that might have had upon him.
Thx. Thought it might be, later. LOL.
What I get for not reading dates, times and authors. Sigh.
I still get chills when I remember that episode of Twilight Zone.
Me, too. It was a scary one.

Have you ever read Gene Wolfe? He’s a Christian(Catholic) sci-fi author who faught in the Korean War and helped invent the machine that makes pringles. He uses lots Christian ideas in his work.
Here’s the wiki page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wolfe
here’s a snippet from the article:
When asked the “Most overrated” and “Most underrated” authors, Thomas Disch identified Isaac Asimov and Gene Wolfe, respectively, writing: “...all too many have already gone into a decline after carrying home some trophies. The one exception is Gene Wolfe...Between 1980 and 1982 he published The Book of the New Sun, a tetralogy of couth, intelligence, and suavity that is also written in VistaVision with Dolby Sound. Imagine a Star Wars-style space opera penned by G. K. Chesterton in the throes of a religious conversion. Wolfe has continued in full diapason ever since, and a crossover success is long overdue.”

Also in today’s news from WWN: “Russian Boxer Finds Yeti,” “Sewer Gators March on Wall Street,” and “Scientists Create Alligator-Chickens.”

I really have no idea.
His active imagination may have been the most influence.
Southern Minnesota - just south of the metroplex and outside of mertopolitan control. Dirt road, dog, dirty fingernails. In short, heaven on earth.
Finding this place to be a magnet for Believers looking for relief from the organized church. Don’t know where that’ll lead, but there a plenty of folks not finding what they need where Christ’s purported to reside . . .
If the book survived the crash, why didn't they make the space ship out of the same stuff they used to make the book? Then the space ship would have survived!
Pure logic, Mr. Spock.
The secret UFO study center.
Wow, I’ve always wanted to go to a secret UFO Bible study.
I see Liberals got to it before the scientists did.
I can’t believe folks haven’t figured this out yet.
