Perhaps he has no theory, yet I do: from the fact that his posts are moderated and occasionally blocked, he is clearly not omnipotent. Yet, he claims to be God! We know already from our illustrious Gnostic forebears who the false God is: he is Samael the Blind God! Do not the Nag Hammadi codices mark him as the 'occluded one', irrational and angry, ever fighting the true Heavenly Father? He attempts to divide the readers from the adminstrators^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H to divide the earthly humans from the true supreme deity who created all; need we more evidence? Let those who have eyes, see; ears, hear. ~Maru Come, let us drink this delicious Kool-Aid and cast off the shackles of our gross material bodies! ; ) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
