For the Essence of God is Intelligence. Like us, Our cousins in the universe will be intelligent. One of my several opinions, that there is a possible Cathar species(a feline humanoid race from star wars) in the Universe. Remember the Person with the Lions head in heaven praising God. I do believe that his race is both symbolic and an older humanoid race.

Okay, okay.....
See, the Star Wars movies are about a fallen righteous person who became an agent of evil, and there was this big civil war, right? And it was supposed to be a long time ago, far away in space, right?
So one of my theories is that Star Wars is essentially a documentary about the War in Heaven.
Because we all need to have theories about the Gospel........
I, personally, wouldn't attend a gay wedding, not just because I view those weddings as morally objectionable, but also because I don't look good in pastels.
I can respect that others of my faith may see it differently, and since attendance at such weddings is entirely irrelevant to the attendee fulfilling the 4-fold mission of the church, I don't see why it would be factored into church standing. Certainly, I have seen no indication that it is--any more than taking someone to get an abortion.

Please read "The Streets of Ashkelon" of Harry Harrison.
It is a novel about "natives, simple and unlettered Stone Age types that they are, have managed to come this far with no superstitions or traces of deism whatsoever.". who "... have thunder, trees and water without having thunder-gods, tree sprites, or water nymphs. They have no ugly little gods, taboos, or spells to hag-ride and limit their lives. They are the only primitive people I have ever encountered that are completely free of superstition and appear to be much happier and sane because of it."
You can read the plot here. There is a conflict of "trader Garth", "father Mark" and the "weskers".

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

My comments were confined to "sexual defilement," and said nothing about lifestyles and ruthlessness. Sexual defilement is sexual defilement, just as sin is sin. What about this don't you get?

God and his angels are the ultimate voyeurs. You think it creepy when bishops ask teens about their little factories, or SP want to know what color of panties were involved, what positions were employed, etc etc...... Well it has nothing on invisible beings watching your intimate moments in all their invisible omnipresence.
