Hello everyone,

I'm new here and this is my first post. I've lurked for a while and I keep up with the info Bill and Kerry put up on their site. I lived as a christian for most of my life, even giving up over 2 years of my life to live on the mission field working with drug addicts. Things changed though when my brother was in the hospital on life support. Other christians came to visit and told us that God told them that my brother would recover. My brother died. This was the beginning of my walking away from Christianity and the start of many questions I would not have answers to. I've noticed that this type of things happens all the time. People claim that God told them something and it turns out to be bogus. Another thing that turns me off is all the disagreement and different beliefs of all the people who believe in the same God. How can that be good?

I've been interested in extraterrestial life and paranormal activity for a while and wonder what, if any part, does it have to play in our existence. But, to my dismay I'm finding the same things going on in this arena as I did with Christianity. People claim they have the truth/answers, yet someone else disagrees because they have the truth. Someone will predict an event and the other denounces it. One will be told by an entity that something will occur and when it doesn't it's because the timeline has changed.

I'm starting to see a pattern. It involves humanity. When humans are involved with something, there's going to be problems. It's so hard to believe or trust anything because of it.
