I was wondering why that smokestack on the moon looked like a cross.

In a quantum universe where there are an infinite number of dimensions, both things are not only possible, but likely.

Finally. My existence has some credibility.

I could have sworn this would have been a BuffaloBob thread!

Okay, am going to take a bubblebath now.

Boy, you really seem to want to hop in the tub with me, eh, Nellidiot? Bubble fetish?

No, but it explains why 101 is here.

The Vatican's chief astronomer has said that belief in aliens is not at variance with Christianity and that any extra terrestrials would form part of God's Creation. ...

Now what is confirmed atheist BuffaloBob going to do?

He has to disavow his atheism in order to confirm his belief that space aliens do exist since the teachings of the Pope and the Catholic Church specify the existence of space aliens are not at odds with Christianity.

Or he has to go along with his stance on atheism but only if he will admit that space aliens do not exist and that the Church is wrong.

What's a poor atheist like him to do? *sigh*

I would say that the Vatican would only let this guy say things like this is if they knew something. By "knew something", I mean they have knowledge that there are space aliens, and that they are more evolved than us. It would also mean that public knowledge of these aliens will be coming soon, and his release of this view of the church is a pre-emptive strike against current conflicting views held by the church that humanity is above all others in creation.

There are U.F.O.s. I do not know any craft that come down to the planet in about 5 seconds and take a dip in the ocean to cool off. But they are here now.

So I guess this means....
They were against Space Aliens before they were for them?

I suppose-though-they would take one gander at the Bible and wonder why we would insult their beliefs that way....

Although not willing to go as far as of Buffalo Bob, the strangeness of such an article makes it an interesting one. The last Pope, John Paul II, made a statement to the effect that God likely used evolution. Bob may be on to something. I would file it under, possible but not very probable.

Lots of pissed off Earthlings when they get here and we find out that the aliens are the really, for sure, honest, chosen people.

Who are the chosen people?

This is not an old idea among Christian thinkers. You should try reading C.S. Lewis' sci-fi _Out of the Silent Planet_(Part 1 of a trilogy). It postulates another world (ostensibly Mars) in which the beings --from a very old civilization-- had resisted temptation in their particular version of the garden of Eden scenario and never "fell."


In my Father's house are many mansions.

John 14:2


Cheers

I wonder what the "aliens" think of us? "These beings are quite primitive" "indeed - lets wipe them out on December 26th 2012"

Come on we're just as alien as any other species.

BBob

How fun for us.
An outer space/truthseeker/space aliens/
Catholic church thread all rolled into one!

Have things to do now but hope to get back on here later and we can have at it -- at least on the religion issue. I think I will probably agree with you about possible life forms on other planets (some planets yet undiscovered) so we'll get along on that part.

Later, Truthseeker.

So Scientology is right?

What day did God make all those aliens?

Sorry for being a complete geek. But, I think you are actually referring to "Perelandra" which is part 2 of the trilogy. That book was my favorite of the three books comprising Lewis' "space trilogy."

Forging? Better crack open a dictionary --

. forge: To make falsely; to produce, as that which is untrue or not genuine; to fabricate; to counterfeit, as, a signature, or a signed document. [1913 Webster]

When one tries to make a post appear that a person stated it when they didn't state it as worded or eliminate words from a post to make it appear genuine IS Forging a post. Nice try CalifChris.

Califchris did not forge that post. He clearly stated it was his translation, and signing it Nullidiot made it clear that he was not trying to fool anyone that he was Nullfidian or trying to present the post as genuine..

Nullifidian

Tell me the truth.

If you were out working hard in the fields (couldn't resist that one hahaha) alllllll day long and your poor muscles ached and you were sooooooo tired and when you came back to the house someone had drawn you a nice hot bath -- a bubble bath -- and said you were welcome to go and hop in that bathtub -- bubbles and all -- and soooth those muscles would you say no? Would you? Would your machismo demand that you only take a shower? Just curious.

(I'm having fun with this.)

Sorry Buffalo Bob WRONG again. CalifChris's 1:18 IS clearly a forged document.

Larry Mohr

That's actually kinda hilarious that you posted that. Brought to mind a memory that I had totally forgotten. Back when I was a kid I used to go to a YMCA day camp during the summer because my parents had to work. One of the years (around when I was 9 or 10) there was this kid who IIRC was named William. For some reason, my friends and I gave him so much shit, mainly saying something about him having a "bubble problem." He was on the chunky side, so that might have been it; I honestly don't remember. I haven't thought of that in 15-odd years.

Anyway.

Thank you, Truthseeker. You have earned your name.

It's nice to be able to deal with people like you on this thread who, unlike Nulli,
have a brain with an IQ higher than a leftover three-day old bowl of menudo.

I defense of Cali C. Murda, I do find bubble baths very soothing. At least I did when I was 5. (o.0)

15 years ago? A chunky kid with a "bubble problem"? Named "William", huh.


And Nullifidian has called himself "Bill (short for "William") O_Reilly" on DR
for years until only recently.

Could it be? Nah. Or could it?

"The Vatican's chief astronomer. . ."

In 1992, 359 years after condemning Galileo, the Vatican admitted the bewhiskered Tuscan was right all along: the earth revolves around the sun. Since then, the Vatican's chief astronomer has been permitted the use a telescope. Hence the revelation about little green men, little blue women, and little green-and-blue heremaphroditic aliens.

If aliens with advanced scientific weapons decided to destroy the Earth's population but did later accept Jesus Christ as their savior would God forgive them??? Did Jesus die for their sins too or do they have to have one of their own save them???

I say we attack those bastards now because they have all the dilithium crystals. Besides, they had it coming, zooming around in our atmosphere, doing anal probes on rednecks, etc.....

Everybody that has ever watched star trek knows we need those crystals to run our spaceships.

WE MUST NOT LET THEM CREATE A DILITHIUM CRYSTAL EMBARGO.

holy shit...if the pope's stargazer says it...its gotta be true!

Actually, CCs post at 1:18 is accurate. He posted what Nullifidian said. Nullifidians posts about the bubble bath are forged posts since the phrase is taken out of context--changed by Nullifidian to look like that is all that CC said.

What's wrong with a bubble bath?


I've been known to share one with my wife on occasion.

Yeah, but you carry her purse when you shop for facial products together too.

I'm not sure how that "context" changed anything, Nulli. BB - removing irrelevant words from a post does not make something a "forgery."

Yes - when you add back in the originally edited text it doesn't change a thing.

Monte,


The only time I carry her purse is when she can be persuaded to shop at Lover's Lane.

You lie, jeff. You also carry her purse when you want to pretend to take a shit in the mall bathroom and borrow her vibrator. The truth will set you free, amigo.

That's not even fair, Monte.

That only happens about twice per year so it doesn't even count.


BTW - I don't take a shit in the mall bathroom, I take a dump.

"Yes - when you add back in the originally edited text it doesn't change a thing."

Actually, it's even funnier. Some typically inane Internet tough guy talk along the lines of "I'm tired of kicking your ass" combined with "I'm going to take a bubblebath"!?!?

That has to be an Internet first.

Don't worry, Jeff. Who among us can honestly say they haven't done the same thing? (Well, except for Vernon, but he's impotent.)

Don't goof on this; it is serious. It puts the Catholic Church far ahead of the Neanderthal Right Christians who think the world was created 5,000 years ago.

If the aliens have their own religion whose religion will be the "right" one?

The civilization with the biggest ray gun, I suppose...

Classic example of how funding source can influence what scientist says, as in the Global Warming Myth....

Snark,

ICR?

"Vatican Astronomer: God Created Space Aliens"

"Creationist Astrologer: No he didn't"

"as in the Global Warming Myth...."

In a thread about the CAtholic Church acknowledging the possiblity of aliens????
It's like a myth admitting that reality is possible.

The Pope was out in the Italian countryside when he looked up and there was a flying saucer just above him. He fell to his knees and began to pray.

A window opened in the saucer and a creature leaned out and said "Hey Mack, can you move your can, that where I'm trying to land".

Snark,

Oh, thanks for the link. I don't agree with whoever that is at all, but that would be an equally good example.

Posted by mOntecOre at 2008-05-14 01:30 PM

BuffaloBob never said removing words from a post made it a forgery. In fact BBob correctly said just the opposite and BB was merely correcting the error made in Nullidiot's previous post. In fact, it was Nullifidian's "clever" [so he thought] use of an ellipsis in his original post that did him in. hahaha

Here is Nullidiot's original post accusing me of "forging" a post -- a post wherein I changed not one single word nor did I add another word not used in the original post. Poor Nulli.

God made man and all living creatures.

Hence, if there exists live space aliens then God also made them too.

"Here is Nullidiot's original post accusing me of "forging" a post -- a post wherein I changed not one single word nor did I add another word not used in the original post. Poor Nulli."

That's pathetic and dishonest even for you. What Chris doesn't admit is that he manufactured a post by taking a line from his own post and adding my signature to it.

What's really pathetic is that you've been following him around since he said it, and pasting it as just about every reply that you've made. Does your husband know that you're using the computer instead of making his ham sandwich?

"What's really pathetic is that you've been following him around since he said it,"

What's even more pathetic is you sticking your nose in it while not knowing a fucking thing about the "dialogue" between Chris and myself. Moron.

Once again, the Vatican has failed to take it's stance when it could.

Who should the Aliens be able to marry? Will the pope allow Aliens and Earthlings to marry?

Il Papa - you have forsaken your sworn duty to protect marriage as one Earthling male and one Earthling female - please advise!

And for the Epistologically-vacant Grendel:

"...My Father's house has many Mansions"

Refers to Heaven...NOT OUTER SPACE, you dingbat -

But good luck with your continual biblical revisionism, Moron!

If the space aliens prove troubling, we could always send them on a hunting trip with Dickless Cheney!
