Smoking gun UFO footage over Jerusalem
Two witnesses who happened to be at the Armon Hanatziv panoramic lookout over Mount Zion and the Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel at 1:00 am managed to film one of the most interesting UFO clips ever captured. The sighting took place January 28, 2011. The men notice the large ball shaped UFO suspended in the night sky and begin to film. The UFO descends directly over the Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount, hovers, flashes, then shoots upward. One of the witnesses and filmatographers, Mr. Eligael Gidlovitch of Tel Aviv, notes during the filming, in Hebrew, that he is certain that it must be forbidden for civilian craft to hover over Jerusalem in such a manner.
God is Dying, again
(KC Star/Heritage Foundation) God is not dead. But he might just be sick with worry about us. If a team of respected scientific researchers is right, religious belief is headed for extinction in at least nine nations. This projection, somber to some and soothing to others, got a lot of play during the recent annual meeting in Dallas of the American Physical Society. First reported by the BBC, the findings came in the form of a highly technical account of group dynamics based on a mathematical model. They would spark little public interest if the subject were bowling leagues or bocce enthusiasts. Religion, to put it mildly, is different. A fair historian would acknowledge that faith has been on trial since the beginning. The centuries have seen intense, sometimes violent, conflicts among competing creeds. More
Buddhist Monk Raps in Japan
(Chu Yang, UPI) The sounds of central Tokyo's Kyoouji Temple have long included softly chanted prayers and traditional bell chimes. But in recent years, another beat has joined them: hip-hop. “Okay, baby, no problem. It is hard to live in this world. Hey, hey, bro, listen carefully!” This lyrical rap comes from Kansho Tagai. He is not a hip-hop star. He is a 50-year-old Buddhist monk who is also the head of this 400-year-old temple. Tagai raps Buddhist sutras to hip-hop beats to draw younger people to his place. Once or twice a month he dresses in traditional Buddhist robes and performs hip-hop at his temple. Tagai’s efforts have won him young followers, who call him Mr. Happiness for his positive outlook. The number of people that visit his temple has doubled since he began rapping. Each month, about 100 young fans stop by to see Tagai. More
