Some people are astonished/disconcerted that powerful people/entities aren't always [or often] truthful. Of course, I don't remember seeing anything in the US or Calif constitutions requiring honesty/trughfulness of govt operatives. Yes, they may be required to swear [or affirm] to "faithfully execute" their office. But the populace always seems to like having ruthless, devious SOBs "faithfully executing" whatever they can/want/will, in order to get the job done. The propriety of any specific method of "execution" is always a political matter. > Here we had a psychotic nut case running around claiming to be the > Messiah and amassing all sorts of Messianic weapons, a bunch of > idiots willing to follow this self proclaimed Messiah and their very > unfortunate children - all of whom died but non of which needed to. Messiah means "annointed one." Messiahs are annointed with oil. Oil is flammable. Messiahs burn. Those around them burn. The logic is irrefutable. Follow a messiah - get crispy-crittered.

Kind of felt like some kind of encounter therapy group...minus the pillows, ya know? I expect next they will be going door to door on Saturday mornings selling subscriptions to their magazine, The Skeptical Inquirer, preaching the coming of the Darwinian kingdom...

The Highway Patrol would probably consider this action to be part of
another ACT UP or TAKE BACK THE STREETS demonstration, the Political
Enforcement cops would be called up in all their jack-booted brutality,
and the poor bronto would be clubbed into the pavement. So would you.

It's well know that immortality has already been suppressed because of
the disruptions that would ensue to Social Security, Veterans Admin,
and the labor supply. Immortality will destroy the current economic
system of the Western world; hits, such as this leaked 'story', are
part of a disinformation campaign aimed at controlling rebellious
segments of the population by offering them "pie in the sky,", same
as any religion offering redemption/reincarnation. It's just a ploy.

Assuming biblical chronology to be correct, with one universe created
per week, then we'd actually be more like (52 weeks) * (6000+ years) =
312000+ universes away from {YHWH}. Are the rules the same in each of
these? Do these universes intersect? All, or just some? Where? Is
our current universe the first of a series; midway in that series; at
the end of a series; the product of nonsequential creation; none of
the above? Does each new universe spawn a new set of deities? Do/can
said deities agree on anything? How do they resolve their disputes?
Are we just pawns in theological wars? Can we escape?
