maybe SpiritualWarrior is better off sitting on his own knowledge.
i wouldn't want him to feel put-out, and i certainly don't want to be a burden to him.
i can just read this website instead:

maybe you shouldn't wreck Zoii's thread with a bunch of vanity and personal remarks.
i'm sorry you missed it, but i just said that i don't wish to be a burden to you.
since you indicated it was too much trouble for you to put any scriptural reference for your claims, or to give any explanation for them, especially as you consider the rest of us to be beneath your dignity to stoop to instruct, please, don't feel like you need to bother on my account.
that is not to "bully and intimidate you" but to reassure you that nothing is being demanded of you and i will think no less of you if you don't even bother posting in this thread ever again. no regrets, go your way, do what seems best to ya, love. quite the opposite of "bullying," i thought. how can an ant bully an elephant? i'm saying: you go right ahead and post or don't post, us ants will try and stay out of your way.
here's another link that claims the antichrist to come is an alien who will invade the earth with demons who look like aliens, and claim to bring peace, setting up a new world order and causing the whole earth to worship him.
ANTI-CHRIST, ALIENS, AND UFO'S
what does everyone think of this?
there's a lot of similar stuff on the internet, but there being 'a lot of it' may not mean it's accepted by a lot of people so much as that there are a few people who have posting and re-posting the same things in a lot of places.

I have already told you... no. What part of... no... do you not understand. I replied to the op. I did not reply to the op to teach you anything or debate you or convince you or anything else.
You either read what I said to the op an take it or leave it.
Or do whatever you like...without anything to do with me.
If you don't like it or anything about me...well that is just too bad now isn't it.

You know. I sit with my father on our balcony and we look through the telescope and we talk above the universe and how its just such an amazing place. Its so complex and its laws are so incredible and we still are only just beginning to learn its depths. My thread was really getting us to think beyond what we know here on this planet and propose that, given the size and complexity of the universe and also given how much we have yet to learn from it, that there is a possibility that God had laid plans in other places in terms of life. When I give it thought it floats my mind to all sorts of things and that includes how it might relate to GOD. I'm glad some had fun in this thread but please remember my original question is a serious one and do not take your fun to the point where any reasonable person would think your insulting their question.
I pity those poor kids. Raised in a goldfish bowl of parental prejudice and bias.
Such brainwashing should be illegal !
One consolation. At some point in their lives they will realize that other sincere, intelligent, well-educated, moral folk believe quite differently - and can defend those beliefs.
Unfortunately, their respect for their parents could then diminish.

Perfectly true, Breno.
Nevertheless, I think it is unwise and unfair to raise any children in any blinkered, one-eyed, "only we know the truth" fashion.
Christian or whatever. That is cultish.
By all means tell them " This is what we firmly and sincerely believe .... equally moral and intelligent people believe otherwise".
That is simply being honest and truthful.
Parents do not have a right to brainwash their offspring.
To me, imposing much-argued religious views on young minds as if they were inarguable truths is tantamount to abuse !
Would we happily extend the same 'right' to Muslims, atheists, Wiccans, Mormons, Scientologists etc ?
On Children
Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Your type of thinking is the same as mine. scientists look at outer space and are in awe at it's awesomeness and I myself am fascinated by outer space it is simply an astonishing place but when I see it as I look up to the night sky the only thing I see is God. I see the sky I look around me at the earth at the trees at the flowers ect. and I see the proof of God
Yes that's very true. Each one of us, religious or not, teaches their children the values they believe in. At the end of the day, it is their choice what they do with what you teach them.
I don't believe we should teach them to hinder thought, or have a one track mind, my desire is that they know Jesus intimately as I have come to know Him.
