I’ve heard of Vatican II, but Vatican LI?
I think he may have been using “matter” in the broader (though technically incorrect) catch-all term a lot of people use meaning “everything in the universe, including energy.” But I could be wrong (that’s why I said we don’t know). If not, disregard that part of my post, Trihs is right in that scenario.
By the way, is it commonplace to use “hope” and “faith” interchangably? I always figured they were pretty distinct.
Don’t worry about it.
If raindog wants to make an issue of your honesty, he can open a Pit thread, because if he pursues it here he is liable to be Warned for breaking the rule regarding accusations of dishonesty in this forum.

There’s something I’m missing here.
Why would the Vatican have secret files relating to UFOs?
I mean I’ve heard of the government having hidden evidence and files but the Vatican? At what point did they get involved? Where and when did these secret Vatican/UFO meetings take place?
They’re not the first organisation that springs to mind when I think of UFO cover-up conspiracies. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read Icke, I love a good conspiracy theory but that’s pretty outre even by conspiracy standards.
I expect it’s a matter of confusing the issue, and trying to guilt people into not disagreeing ( you don’t want to destroy someone’s HOPE now, do you ?! )
Watch UFO Files on the History Channel sometime, they make a pretty convincing (cough) case that a lot of the stuff in the Bible is just aliens.
Yeah, Von Danniken was sure that the vision of Ezekiel was actually an extra terrestrial craft.
What, that’s the evidence for the Vatican/UFO link - von danniken?
No offence to VD, he wrote a fantastic book, but is that seriously what the op is going to use as his defence?
Non Spoiler-
The film Prince Of Darkness includes, almost as a throwaway, that Jesus was actually a humanoid alien.
Is that what you’re suggesting Lacunas Quell? That Jesus was actually an extraterrestrial and the Vatican is concealing this fact?
It’s just logical. UFOs appear in the sky and upper atmosphere, which is the realm of the angelic host. Stands to reason angels would be monitoring them, if only to avoid a turkey-in-the-tachyon-intake incident. And of course, the Vatican is the only place in the world that has a direct phoneline with angels, in the person of the Pope. Through them, higher ups in the Catholic Church have been in diplomatic talks with aliens for a long, long time. Before Jesus was even born !
Little known fact (because they’ve covered their tracks quite well) : classical churches and cathedrals usually feature at least one high tower. Ostensibly masquerading as bell towers, they are actually air control relays for UFOs that use the bells to map the surrounding region accoustically, as a form of early topographic SONAR. Which is why that UFO crashed in the desert near Roswell : no cathedral for miles.
Fuck, yes. Every few weeks, I’m a guest speaker at a local high school and I tell the kids about sexually-transmitted diseases and mortgage foreclosures.
Actually, the first law of thermodynamics states that neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed.
It might help if you could supply us with a cite that does in fact state this.
And actually, misunderstandings of the laws of thermodynamics pop up in arguments like this all the time.
And under the big hats - transmitters.
So, God didn’t create the Earth? Or did he create it but wasn’t a good enough engineer to make it safe. Maybe it should get recalled to fix the defects.
I’m not sure the people said that, but the priests sure did. If not them, then their parents.
Since no one is perfect, the priests can always find a reason to blame the victims. If some who were far more evil lived to a ripe old age and died rich - well, God works in mysterious ways.
But there is progress here. You seem to accept that the Earth is very old, and also admit that the story about God making the Sun stand still for Joshua is just a myth - because it involves God interfering with nature. Now if you’d just apply that same logic to the rest of the Bible, we’d be getting somewhere.
No, no, the big hats are to conceal the gigantic Mars Attacks-style brains. The transmitters are hidden in the robes.
Not transmitters, receivers. NSFW… primarily for its blasphemous content. Though there is an illustrated gold phallus.
And that their pets will die within a few years.
