I think that the story of Mary Magdalene being a whore is much more erotic. 
 Peace.

Be that as it may, ahem  the Roman Catholic Church has admitted that, the story was in fact made up at a time, forget the century, when they were loosing followers and wanted to create a new draw. They thought the idea of Redemption was a good one. So they made it up that, Mary, who was actually very sane, sound and wise, also Jesus's closest confidant, was a crazy, whore possessed by demons, and the part about Jesus redeeming her from them.
They said it worked too. People came back to the church for redemption from their demons.

I know you suspect the Old Testament to have come from ET's as well, "We made man in our image" some were benevolent and some malevolent. You know the New testament is about Jesus coming to clear up all that was garbage from the malevolent, from his benevolent point of view, in the Old Testament.
but I don't think these are regular E.T.'s, but a race of white-bearded, highly spiritual beings that created everything on earth, and who answer to the Father, master of the universe. I think technology is only a secondary tool to them, and a ship to them is like a knife to us, and a knife really doesnt make us any less spiritual Really my belief about extraterrestrials does not discredit any part of the bible. You might even say that this idea has sort of given me a religious rebirth, sort of baptised me by making sense of all the jewish scriptures in my head. You might even say I went orthodox because of this belief in aliens

No. This admission came out recently from English speaking Arch Bishops in the RC Church.

I find it is best to keep speaking to whoever the prayer is to until you run out of things to say.
In the process you will understand the intricacies and fitting togethers of things that you would otherwise ignore and not be aware of, as they are nestled in the subconscious.
It also allows you to eventually hone in on what you are really trying to say in the right way to say it, and brings about a peaceful feeling.
Now if I can be free from guilt...... people shouldn't feel like a little dog. I don't want to behave to avoid punishment, if I do something "wrong" I want to use my brain so that I figure out why it was wrong so I won't do it again. I want to behave because it's right.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
