I was abducted by aliens one time. I asked if I could take their pic and they said no. Something about how they were ok with blurry images back in the day, but that technology was getting too advanced and they were using cloaking devices and allowing no photography now. I really wanted that pic!
lol, only one time?  |

From my own experience, things can look completely real, like a human, but you will know right off the bat that there is something terribly, terribly wrong.
....sort of like Mothman. |

I'm still pretty sure that I saw my patron about two years ago right when I decided to convert and my dad had relapsed. It was in a dream, we were sitting on a bench, I was crying and he was hugging me telling me it would be okay.

lol, only one time? Asteriktos chased them away with Holy Water. It does, and prayers. Haven't had anything happen in my house, only in one other person's house where an old freemason had died, and it just looked at me, went to the window, and said to something outside, "This one isn't like the others." And then he left. He looked like a regular guy. The whole time I just prayed the Psalm, "Let God arise and His enemies be scattered, let those who hate Him flee before His face..." I found out the name of the old guy, and put him on my prayers for the departed list. Asteriskos and me, uncomplicated test subjects.  I ran to the monastery the next day. Actually I drove, a little over the speed limit. |

We were both freaked out afterwards. But my buddy had an interesting theory. He said that the Mothman might be the angel of death. Selam |

That would just be annoying. If a demon lacks a physical body, then how could they physically abduct a human?
If ancient aliens didn't exist, how were the demons able to abduct Orthodox Christians?  I've never seen this show or a clip of it and have only seen this internet bit here and yet I can't stop laughing everytime someone uses it. I think Nick or someone explained the context to me, but it really doesn't need any. It might just be the unsignified signifier. |

Speaking of freaky movies that deal with UFO's and psychic or supernatural phenomena, "Fire In The Sky" is a great movie. Along with "The Mothman Prophecies," it's my favorite movie of this genre. Even if these movies are highly exaggerated and perhaps deviate from the historical accounts, they still leave you wondering what in the heck really happened. Too bizarre to be attributed merely to hoaxes or to the power of suggestion.

So, being hypothetical, what if aliens were real? And they offered ten humans the opportunity to come live on their home planet? I'd hope that the Orthodox would jump on this opportunity to do Missionary work on their planet, before the Evangelicals took over and polluted their planet.

I have a feeling that if there are aliens out there, they are primitives. When we run into them we'll just do what we usually do. Kill off most of them, convert some of them, and study their past a hundred years or so after their civilization if obliterated. It's easier to admire the dead. |
