Hi Larry.

My question has always been: What has being a Christian go to
do with believing or not believing in UFOs? What is the "closed
mindset" got to do with any religion?

What so many Fundamentalists of all religions forget, is that
these religions were created simply for the people of earth. It
has nothing to do with Other Possible worlds...

I know that they believe that only GOD and his Angels exist
above this earth, and Satan and his Demons below. Yet, this is
because the "Church" of the Middle ages instilled this thinking
in the Fundamentalist Dogma. It has been passed down from
generation to generation, under the "implied" threat that you
would be punished if you did not adhere strictly to the "letter
of the law." Yet in the middle ages, not only was it a threat,
it was as most of us know a reality...the Inquisition, made sure
that the people walked the chalk line or suffer the tortures of
the Righeous Indignation of the Church...

I don't have to mention by name those early Astronomers who were
excommunicated from the church until the withdrew their
scientific statments, which claimed that the sun was the center
of the Universe, which was contrary to the Church belief that
the Earth was the Center of the Universe, and all things
revolved around it. <G> Today we realize the Sun is the center
of it's Solar system...Sun and Planets.

How many have suffered at the hands of these Ignorant Sheppards
of Humanity because they dared to "explore and expand" the
bounds of human knowledge???

So it is to day with all religions and UFOs and the idea the
there are other life forms capable of sentient thought existing
elsewhere in the universe....

We are still the slaves of the 'Earth Is The Center Of The
Universe', theology.

REgards, Mike
