Intelligent design (Introduction)

I fear that Abel may finally have lost patience with me and my questions, but each post brings new revelations that make little sense to me. His claims are undoubtedly the most extraordinary we have yet been offered. However, the purpose of this forum is to put ideas, theories and claims under scrutiny, and if we are to gain any degree of enlightenment, it can only be through a continuous process of clarification.

You have stated categorically that there is no one God, but you continually refer to God in the singular. You sometimes call Metatron God, but he was made by the original gods – the mortal creators of life who evolved spontaneously from the spontaneously generated first forms of life, and who can live for around 40,000 years. They must have already developed the technologies of space travel and of life and evolution at least 3.7 billion years ago, which means that the current generation of gods will now be at least the 100,000th since they first created life on Earth. Did all these generations of gods live and die on Earth until they had finished supervising the evolution of humans? When and why did they finally leave the Earth (which they must have done, because they sent aliens to teach humans a lesson)?

You have said that you yourself have no soul, and yet you have lived many lives, between which you walk around with a sense of futility "like a tide of despair" that seems to mirror your general attitude towards the human race. My heart goes out to you. I wish I could help you to feel that life is as beautiful and joyful as it is ugly and sad, while humans are as kind and as clever as they are selfish and stupid. Without a balanced view, despair is a destructive and paralysing emotion. However, my question to you is purely technical and perhaps in your eyes superficial: since your body has died and you have no soul, what is it that walks?

Adam became Moses who ended up as Jesus. You yourself are a soulless archangel with a human mother, and you are or were the rock on which Jesus’s church was built, i.e. St Peter. You have singled out the Old Testament as being a collection of myths (apart from those sections which you know to be true), which implies that the New Testament is a true record. If so, why did Jesus and you (St Peter) keep talking about the one Lord God, as opposed to the gods, why are there repeated references even by you (St Peter) to the soul, and why did Jesus and you never mention his and presumably your reincarnation?

Aliens wanted you to talk to the world about saving itself from itself, and said that if you refused, they would “save” the world by destroying it. You agreed to speak on their behalf, but knew that one of the spirit telepaths would think you were the Antichrist and would kill you, which makes him/her/it a Christian. (Once again, a strange form of Christianity without a singular God, and hell-bent on destroying the world as a means of saving it.) Since you and these aliens are clearly implacable enemies, why haven’t they destroyed the world yet, and you with it? It’s obvious from what you’ve written that the immediate threat to humanity comes not from its own stupidity, but from this band of vicious Christian thugs. So why don’t the gods who created and sent the aliens in the first place do something to correct their own appalling blunder before it’s too late?
