Arrey shee baba, you are making me sound like a bedde now. Just to clear up the confusao, the whiskey glass was in Hitchens' hand, not mine. Shee, see what rumour does, which brings me to the point I want to make this evening about Roswell. I was watching a documentary last evening about the famous Roswell incident. There is documented evidence that at the time, this so-called alien debris was found scattered at Roswell, the US military were carrying out secret weapons testing and this debris is attributed to this testing. Now, people being what they are, over the course of the years, the "mystery" surrounding Roswell has grown to gargantuan proportions. Every aspect of it is examined and re-examined, third-eye witness accounts have now become 100th eye-witness accounts, more magnified, more glorified, more amplified to give the theory of extra-terrestrials, life (pardon the pun). I have no doubt that a similar dynamic took place with a man called Jesus. The stories surrounding this man, possibly a political activist not prominent enough to be mentioned in Jewish or Roman history books, have now been magnified to the extent to make us believe by the likes of Dinesh D'souza, that he is single-handedly responsible for the civilisation of humanity. That to me strikes as gross arrogance on the part of Christian theists. I have no problems with theism. My own views are agnostic in nature but truth be told tending towards theism. What I do have a problem with are men who try to create a God in their own image and these images are sometimes rather ugly. selma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
