X-Message-Number: 26452 Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 10:36:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Urban Mith <> Subject: Prophet Yahweh will summon Vegas UFO July 15 I haven't followed the latest religion discussion here very carefully but it seems to me that you all may be interested in a new religion-- one based on UFO's and promulgated by one "Prophet Yahweh". He is currently summoning white lights that appear in the sky on his command and promises that a big spaceship will arrive in Vegas on or before July 15-- within a 4 day window of summons. James Randi's organization is following the event and will pay the Prophet a million dollars if the spaceship appears. If that ship does appear, I think some of us in Vegas ought to ask the aliens how to extend lifespan and make suspended animation work. How about it Vegas-based cryos? For the cryonicists here who propose to sue religions in general, you might want to start by suing Prophet Yahweh if the mothership doesn't appear, although I wouldn't recommend it. My position is that religion is just politics by another name, so suing a religion is messing with politics of an unknown depth and virulence. Look what happened to KH. To respond to religions, why not take James Randi's approach? Pay out a reward for "miracles!". "It's a miracle!". So DP-- why not join Randi and pay out another thousand bucks if a giant ship appears over Vegas? Guaranteed publicity for you-- at least locally. If you can't make it there on the 15th, maybe I'll become a Prophet Yahweh student and we can make one descend over Creekside for a few hours-- with your permission of course. And of course, what good is an idea like this without an associated separate discussion area? So here it is-- enjoy. http://www.network54.com/Forum/420061 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
