MOSCOW (AFP) Russian police arrested a leader of a Satanist cult that allegedly planned several blasts and may be linked to last week's shoppingmall bombing. Cops busted Mikhail Naumenko AKA "the hippopotamus," 22, a literature student known to police as an ultra-radical. Naumenko's devil-worshipping cult, the Black Dragon, is suspected of planning bombings in popular spots during the weekend's Moscow festival. Weapons, drugs, explosives found - see http://www.russiatoday.com/news.php3?id=89985 or http://www.sightings.com/politics4/RussiaDevilCult_u.htm : What's your favorite devil-cult? Do you blow up things/people? Do voices in your head insist? Is it divine will? Are you a hippo? Do you use drugs?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE ROAD TO RAPTURE. The End Time.

But not everyone realizes Catholic missions are also part of America's present. Horses have given way to horsepower, but "mission" priests and sisters still canvass the same territory.

A sprawling ranch in impoverished cowboy country, set on the edge of Brazil's remote southwestern Pantanal swamplands, seems an unlikely place to create a vision of paradise on earth. But for the Moonies, the controversial religious sect formally known as the Unification Church, it is a Garden of Eden in the making. Thousands of the sect's devotees, mainly from Japan, Korea & the US, have flocked to this backwater corner of Brazil to help to plough the rocky red soil. http://lineone.net/times/99/09/04/news/world/timfnffnf02008-d.html : Have you sought Eden? Have you found it? Can you build it? Did your leader direct you to Eden? How did your leader find it? Who bought it? Who sold it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ DNA, THE REAL WORD OF GOD, A SHOCKER! So people are going to church and singing songs and taking the coded messages about DNA and themselves and the universe literally and they are missing the entire encrypted message. They are missing the entire encrypted message because they refuse to obey Jesus' words about the single eye. In fact they call it New Age cultism and refuse to consider it. Scientists say of DNA that "it carries the instructions for life on this planet. It is like a tape whose parts when played on the appropriate cell machinery are translated into the various protein componenents of organic cells. It is organized into genes." In other words it is Genesis. http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/dna.html#SHOCKER : Are divine messages encoded within you? Have you encoded divine messages into any lifeforms? Has your encoding been broken by MicroSoft yet? Will it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # New Curve Makes Life Predictable. Albert Einstein's dictum that God "does not play dice" is turning from a great man's aside into a universal truth. Scientists from Britain, France and the US have discovered a mathematical curve that seems to explain seemingly random events, such as aircraft tur- bulence and forest fires. Their findings challenge the pre-eminence of the bell-shaped curve, the standard device used to forecast probabilities in diverse areas. The new curve is broader & more gently sloping, suggesting that the rarest events occur more often than predicted by the bell-shaped curve. http://www.ft.com/hippocampus/q14ae5a.htm : What's your favorite curve? Is it predictive, complex/chaotic, relative? Do gods play dice with the universe? What are the stakes?
