I’m surprised there was no mention of the police finding meth at the crime scene.

It’s not like there is insane vs. sane, it’s more like a sliding scale. The Old Earth creationists think the YECs are nuts. I can some follower of Reich rolling his eyes.

The fortunate parts are that Daughter = Jesus the Son, Messenger = Mohammed, Prophet = Mohammed and Joseph Smith, Servant = Servant of The Most High, which is a Bible thing \*, and Ambassador is probably out of Star Trek.

Something for everybody !

Plus a blow to that wicked old patriarchy by giving God a Daughter same as the Son, which counts for a lot amongst the most dim. ( Although there was some talk in Religious Ed about the Father being the same being as the son, but I may have misheard as a child, cos it seemed unlikely. )

Still, she was pretty when young \*\* in that '80s fashion and that is more precious than rubies.

_Sherry would always tell it like it is to the point where most have tried to murder her like they did the prophets of old (and believe me they keep trying that till this day) but I have been led to stand up as an bridge and walk God’s people up to the point where they can effectively discern Sherry’s saving message. The Most High, Sherry and I are one as the back-bone of TheTrueacademy._

From your story, the only evidence we have that the boyfriend said that is the word of his killer. :smack:

Then it looks like we’re gonna have to slice the cult leader open and look for lizard…um stuff to clear this poor woman.😃

And if we don’t find the proof we’re looking for,well that just means those lizard bastards are sneakier than we thought.:eek:🆒

In what way? Ok, in both cases shape-shifting reptilian aliens are trying to take over the world, but otherwise I’m not seeing the similarity.

Well, yeah, that is the similarity. The aliens in _V_ were reptiles who came to earth disguised as humans and promising to help humanity. They were deceptive as to their true intentions. Seems pretty similar to me.
