SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGOUS ( Archived) (97)

Good question. Personally I think not, but....heck, if aliens come for us, I don't want to be "Left Behind". heh heh

By the way, did you ever see the Twilight Zone episode where aliens came and loaded people into their starship, promising to serve earthlings?

At the end, it showed an alien carrying a cookbook entitled
"How to Serve Man".

Now, there is food for thought.

If the Christian God and his Angels live somewhere other than earth, that would make them aliens. If Jesus Christ was the son of God that would make him half alien. You laugh and make jokes but the book you read is derived from the same myths I'm talking about. Do your research before you make yourself look like a hypocrite again.

What in the heck are you talking about????

If you had read my post....you would know that I was talking about an episode from The Twilight Zone. I never mentioned Christ, God or Angels. ....

Sorry that I got into your thread.

Sorry miss, didn't mean to get sideways with ya, I thought you were mocking my beliefs.

A lesson for how true faith is rewarded, methinks... (or ought to be rewarded).

You said you believe in a god - granted, that would qualify as a spiritual/religious belief - but all you described by way of example were purely secular beliefs about intelligent beings designing humankind. My question was: Why does believing in this stuff has anything to do with being spiritual? It would seem no more spiritual than believing the Moon was designed by aliens or that green men on Mars control people's thoughts here on Earth. These are simply assertions about physical reality. What could possibly be "spiritual" about believing in them?

Not at all. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs.
I happen to be Christian.

I think that you miss understood me, it is very complicated so I will do my best to clarify this time. Just because I feel like we were created by beings who were more evolved then us, doesn't mean that there is an unknown force that creates, and keeps a specific order in our universe. When you look at a substation, you can't see the electricity, but you know it is there because we have set up a system to manipulate and control the electricity in a certain way. That electricity exist, but would not behave in that way, and make it to our homes without a system set up by intelligence. When you study the universe you will see that it is full of matter an energy, but it isn't random and chaotic. It is a repetitive system that destroys, and recreates in the same patterns no matter how far away each object is. Now this creative power that we can't see can some how control energy on an unprecedented scale. With that being said, if something this powerful really exists, it would be able to control every particle in the universe including the ones we are made of. So when I say spiritual, I'm talking about this unknown force that I feel exist, and I might even call it God sometime.

If it lays the perimeters for life to evolve a certain way at will, then it can create biological life. I don't think that it physically can come down to a planet and fashion a human being on a pottery wheel, but I do think it is a long controlled process. The beings that created us out of their self, only existed and were able to do so, because this unknown force allowed it. Weather or not these beings where knowingly influenced, by this energy, I don't know, but it wants us here for a reason, or it wouldn't have allowed the speedy process.

yes i saw it..
