The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy
Just watched this movie last weekend. Enjoyed it. Never read the books.
I've long entertained the thought that our concepts of God and heaven are incorrect, in perhaps picturing a magical mystical universe, people floating through space, defying all laws. When rather heaven is much closer to earth than we realize, and that God utilizes technology. And that God is an extra-terrestrial being. And that Christ's return may involve technology and not just power. I have no evidence of any of this. I just entertain the notion. HHGTTG kind of fits this paradigm. What is the liahona, other than a palm pilot? It's God using technology. |

mike....
so do you picture the second coming as an advanced form of aircraft lowering itself to the earth with a man dressed in full space garb leaving the cockpit, removing his helmet and revealing a beard clad savior? do you see lehi consulting a hand held gps to navigate himself to the americas? |

I don't see that. But I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be like that.
I believe the universe follows order and hence if you define "magic" as something outside laws and order, I don't believe "magic" will be employed. THough we love to believe everthing will be clouds, white robes, mystical omnipotent powers..... |

Is the return supposed to be on a red horse? (I'm not good at remembering all those trivial details, red horse, white horse?) Maybe that red horse is a nice Ferarri.
Showing up first at Archaea's house... |

Now is that Archaea's house or his car? Perhaps both?

If and when I were to buy such a thing, it would be
my house and my car.
Cuz the missus would dismiss me to the car. And I probably would own a house any longer.
