Hey, kudos again. Yesterday I sent a mail with titel 'Rosetta steniging' (Dutch for stoned, your way) to a friend, in which I argue the exact same thing - total revelation overload. As in:
Acts 7: 57-60 (hey, matt. 4:6!!) - The council members shouted and covered their ears. At once they all attacked Stephen and dragged him out of the city. Then they started throwing stones at him... As Stephen was being stoned to death, he called out... “Lord, don't blame them for what they have done.” Then he died.
now if these council members are E.T.'s, one can imagine they might at some point get sick and tired of LSD tourists blundering into their realm.
"Everyone gets everything he wants, I wanted a mission, and for my sins they gave me one..."
