More so than most people want to believe, but so that I don’t get slammed by the medical professionals I will only say that some are and some are not---yet the doctors have no idea what causes it, perhaps living near a pond of swamp gas---lol
i used to wake up with it, not a fun feeling. i dont know/(remember maybe) the cause, but it hasnt happened in a few years. maybe its nothing, maybe i scared them, maybe im a better passenger now, lol

Hi Sleeper,
I suppose some folks here like to think that God is like a kind and helping ever-forgiving father figure, who'll never let you down. But, what if God is more like a hard and stern military prison warden, who is ready to send you straight to hell?
Maybe God would say,
"Thirty days in the hole!"
Next, "Fifty lashes!"
Next, "Crucify him!"
Next, "Keelhaul him!"
Next, "Lets nuke 'em!"
Next, "Reincarnate him in Paterson, NJ."
I've head them say, "If they act like animals, then shouldn't they be treated like animals." But, do you think it is justifiable to treat innocent animals like guilty animals. Can any animal or human be guilty or innocent? They are, aren't they, after all, just what God made them to be?
So, does God make some folks evil just so that he can send them all to hell? Does this make any sense? Is God the creator of these evil human/animals, or where they created by a process that God washed his hands of long time ago?
We'd like to know what you think, or maybe Milton would like to make a comment?

God in the machine? Well, I suppose the whole Universe would just simply be a machine, if it didn't have a soul, right?
So what do you think?
Does the Universe have a soul? Or, is is just one big machine?
I think I know what Milton would say. Sleeper?
But, I suspect Milton will say that God is the soul of the Universe, and he already exists. But, if Miltion doesn't give us irrefutable proof, should we just take his word for it? Or should we proceed with a plan of our own, a human plan?

And, I personally feel we don't need freaking aliens to help us to achieve 'Ultimate Survival' for our species and mankind in general. We can do it all by ourselves. (No offence intended Sleeper, but you said you are an alien, right.)

EDIT: Sleeper's philosophy implies we shouldn't really seek control of ourselves and our planet as it is all a divine plan. And it also implies, that keeping humans in a boxed state is ok. His philosophy also states, that child sacrifice, evil leaders, and the other thing he said above-- is actually ok because they deserve it. This is absolutely horrible.

And I will leave it at that, after all I’m not trying to save anyone’s soul on this beautiful Sunday morning---there are plenty already trying to do that here on this thread and in the billions of churches, Synagogues, and Mosques, not to mention all those other fringe religions out there.
There may be a god in this big bad universe somewhere but like any CEO there are presidents, and vice presidents and middle and lower managers that handle the small details, and earth is a very small detail in the huge picture called a universes---can any mere mortal comprehend the size of a single galaxy let alone the size of a universe with gazillions of galaxies in it?

Thank you smallpeeps for reiterating what I said above in a condensed form. I, unlike you, don't care who originated material-- and I, unlike you, give credit where credit is due. Hence I quoted your screen name, and you read my questions and philsophy, attacked me, and then presented it as your own... and then went on to say i'm not allowed to use your quotes to promote discussion... hm.
