sam444 - I particularly liked your analogy when you said the following
"And then my favorites, the ones who promote the icing only"
It really is an issue of being representative of what an individual claims to be a proponent of. Anyone can mouth the words, living it is the hard part.

Soul_Builder101 - okay, so now we are strolling down crazy street?
As I have tried to state earlier, you are wasting your time attempting to con me with bullshit. Aluminum and Stainless Steel have vastly different electrical conductivity, maybe you can explain to us how one can substitutue for the other as protection against "electronic weapons". Then maybe you could tell us how and why an average citizen is ever likely to be exposed to these weapons?
You say you have 120 college credits? Most college bachelor degrees require 120-128 credits depending on the institution, so what are you telling us? Are you saying that you don't quite have the credits needed for your degree, or did you simply make the number up? Mind you, I've heard that the College of Chicken Knowledge started by Colonel Saunders works a bit differently, maybe that was what you were speaking of?
Of all of the questionable things you have said in comment here, there is one statement you have made that I believe to be completely true; "As for my methodology....I don't have one!"

I read the Holy Bible extensively and consider myself a Christian. I find the Holy Bible to a way to understand how to improve my life by learning from the ways of the 'ancient' peoples. One has to understand the Bible in its totality to garner real meaning. So many pull from it to prove or disprove whatever they are involved in. When this happens I liken it to baking a cake, you have the batter, eggs, oil and water. It will only be complete if the ingredients are mixed properly. To have more than the recipe calls for will dramatically affect the outcome. So many who profess to be Christian and go about their 'bible thumping' pick and choose how the ingredients fit their perspective and neglect the cake as a whole. And then my favorites, the ones who promote the icing only. The best way to be a Christian is to live it, not throw it down someone's throat. I think the one thing that can be taken from the Holy Bible, and stand alone is Jesus' command, "Love one another as I have loved you" If more so called
Christians would practice this perhaps the club could be put away. Just my humble thoughts. sam

Re: Soul_Builder101 - when are you going to learn not to try your cons on
I wish you would read outside of your narrow views. Aluminum and stainless steel are the only metals that can nullify the electronic weapons that are broadcast. Tin foil is actually aluminum. Completely blocking off the head is unnecessary. Yet, I have been informed by an expert that to escape the various kinds of radiation, I would have to build a Faraday's cage into my walls, floors and ceiling. Block the radiation...is the message. But you don't research, so you have opinions on everything including crop circles. They are real and there are scientists investigating them. As for my methodology....I don't have one! But, I am informed and do a lot of research. I also have 120 college credits to my name along with over 13 years of Teaching experience. Try using simple language istead of words that evoke the emotions of people! Its your job to find out for yourself!

Soul_Builder101 - when are you going to learn not to try your cons on
people with a bit of education?
Typical of most of your arguments, you build fiction and fantasy around a few shreds of irrefutable truth, using those little bits of fact as a means to add validation to what is otherwise improbable speculation. Compelled we can presume by an unhealthy paranoia and an overwhelming desire for what you want to believe to be true.
You no more know the validity of the supposed chronicles of those alleged "illuminati retirees" you speak of, than you know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. . . . and as for Faraday's cage, spare yourself the embarrassment. A Faraday Cage must completely envelop the area that it is protecting and be fully grounded. A tin foil helmet does not qualify as an object using this principle. Then you throw in crop circles, as if this somewhat dubious phenomena lends credence or is relevant to anything you are saying. Bullshit does not baffles brains . . . . in reality, bullshit only baffles other bullshitters.

Re: Soul_Builder101 - oh right, I forgot
Perhaps you should read the writings of those involved in it. Then maybe you could be ILLUMINATED. But you dare not for it will crack that very fragile egg you live in. Tin foil? I don't wear it but you should look into the principles of a Faraday's cage! Perhaps too, you should view some of the crop circles and try to explain them. If you only got to the handshake part of the illuminati....you haven't gotten anywhere! I love to read the memoirs of Illuminati retirees! Cheerio Old Boy!

The illuminatti and the secret handshake they use, which is known to all conspiracy theorists who wander outside while not wearing their tin foil helmets. You may want to keep that bridge, it's good to seek shelter under when aliens are attempting to use their mind rays on you.

Re: Soul_Builder101 - against my better judgement I have to ask
You betray your lack of research here! Do you really believe that the powers that be did not exist and does not exist? Do you want us to believe that those nice rich folks actually are up to nothing but loving us? I have a bridge to sell! Interested?

Sunnybeach7 - Re: Gome,
That's a good way of putting it:
"misplaced time travelers" Without a doubt, the ancient religious constructs adhered to today are only in place because they have permeated our societies for so many generations. If these stories were introduced today for the first time, they would be dismissed as fables authored by primitive minds.

Xeno-x - Re: Very good
I don't know of any other way to get the point across but to give them a few good figurative slaps. If anyone thinks that I am going to suffer their disdain because they believe ridiculous religious constructs and I do not, I view it entirely as their problem.

Gome,
LOL... Try not to think of them as clueless, but misplaced time travelers...about 2000 or so years out of their way.

I don't agree with everything you've written here, but you do express
yourself quite well and unflinchingly, Gome. Kudos. It is very difficult
not to feel negative toward those with such stricture of spiritual scripture: "They hate liberals, they hate gays, they hate atheists, they hate muslims, they hate, they hate, they hate, . . . . but dontcha know; they are spreading a message of love for all?" Excellent summation!

I do not feel offended by your ramblings. If only you could have the courage to steer away from the elite scheme of things ....and be a real live human being!
