anyhoo, this article brings upa question that I've wondered about before:  How should catholics approach the paranormal? [/quote]
I believe we're allowed to believe in UFO's... as long as we believe Christ somehow had a salvation plan for them too hahaha.

With a "healthy dose of skepticism"

so long as it doesn't impact our lives then who cares? If a ghost comes up to you then worry about it. cross that bridge when you come to it, i suppose.

[quote name='Paphnutius' date='May 30 2005, 11:46 AM'] Anyone else find it odd that the prophet prayed that people may not consider him a false prophet and to protect him from those who wish to kill him? Is this guy being constantly chased by an angry mob with pitchforks and torches?

I am sorry but I did not buy the whole, so they may see me as a real prophet thing. [/quote]
No, I don't find it odd. He's clearly mentally ill. I don't want to diagnose a man I've never met but many paranoid and schizophrenic delusions involve being the target of conspiracies and murder plots. I've seen it many times working with the homeless population where I live.

Actually, I looked on his website and it actually says, "Be Advised. Yahweh and His angels are superhuman beings, on other planets who fly in spaceships."

If you don't believe me, Google it.

I agree, having been around mentally ill people often. Here's a quote from C.S. Lewis that might be a little off topic but it ties into what we've been discussing:

I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I am ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't need to accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who is merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic, on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg, or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is the Son of God: or else He is a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a Demon; or you can call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great moral Teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ~C. S. Lewis
