I am new to this message board and have a question. First, I am not a Raelian. I am struggling with Christian belief. I read a book recently which weakened my faith: The Yahweh Encouters: Bible Astronauts, Ark Radiations, & Temple Electronics (it is on www.amazon.com if you are curious what it is about). My question is:
Was/is Yahweh a supernatural / interdimensional being or simply an alien with extremely advanced technology? Please don't attack me. I work in the health profession (so I look at things from a view of science or logic) and was not brought up in a religious household. I read about Yahweh's "landing" on Mt.Sinai in Exodus 19 (there was smoke, lightning, loud noise, quaking,etc.) and Yahweh did not want the people to see what was on the mountaintop. Yahweh often traveled on or in a fast-moving cloud. During the Exodus, the people were lead by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. And there are the wheels of Ezekiel. Wasn't it Enoch who was taken up in a chariot of fire (I don't remember) ? There are other examples. I simply do not understand these things. Maybe I have just been brainwashed by the movies & media that now bombard us with UFO ideology. Is Yahweh supernatural?
Please do not tell me that the above things are part of the strong delusion. That's an easy escape. I am very interested in the views of others, as I search for answers. Thanks.
