  Varieties of 'extraterrestrial'? The term 'extraterrestrial'. as with 'alien', suggests a variety of interpretations to be considered in relation to the process of writing any set of guidelines. These can be tentatively clustered as follows, although this does not imply that there is not a degree of overlap between some categories: Belief and attitude : Transmundanity : Some belief systems may stress the extent to which those beliefs raise them above mundane, material. terrestrial concerns and identifications, in that sense, qualifying them as 'extraterrestrials'.

Socialists believe in democracy. Socialists believe that banning gun ownership is wrong. The people should be armed and should be ready to defend their rights. If a revolution should ever come it will be the armed people who protect it. No standing army but the armed people. Socialists believe that the Black Lives Matter group hurts more than it

  PHILOSOPHY Similarities to Other Stories Unavoidable Contradictions The Logical Explanation SIMILARITIES TO OTHER STORIES The similarities between the stories and characters in the Bible and those from previous mythologies are both undeniable and well-documented. This would be obvious if it weren’t for early indoctrination of these beliefs into children, which usually makes them unassailable as adults. In this short piece I’ll attempt to show extraordinary similarities with regard to two of the most important Biblical narratives: the  Genesis  story and the character of  Jesus Christ . THE BOOK OF GENESIS’S FLOOD STORY MIRRORS THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS EARLIER Here are a number of elements that both Gilgamesh and the flood story in Genesis share: God decided to send a worldwide flood. This would drown men, women, children, babies and infants, as well as eliminate all of the land animals and birds. God knew of one righteous man, Ut-Napishti
