Yeah but in a way we any philosophy is just anouther religion and none
can be really said to be better than another. We need to be open minded
towards all religions and try to work out what's really "Going On" as
someone said on this list a while ago then we will all benefit. We need
to study things like the bible and try to find out how the events could
be explained, like a lot of modern UFO sightings are investigated. I'm
religious myself but I think that a lot of religious documents could
tell us a lot about our past and how modern UFO sightings and other
events relate to a lot of the events in these religious papers
