-Caveat Lector-
The URANTIA book is nothing but some bullsheet channeled by discarnate
entities from the astral plane. Just because some one is DEAD, doesn't make
them enlightened. Apparently you have not researched the history of the
BRILLIANT material you are promoting. I suggest anyone reading this
BRILLIANT BOVINE EFFLUVIA (if you wish to pursue the matter) do a search
on URANTIA and learn the truth for yourselves.
This kind of stuff makes me want to THROW UP.
My 2 cents.
