"For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." I Corinthains 1:22-24 (NRSV).

Hey bible humper, on your knees and get going.

I think the pillar of fire got old, so god invented something for better story telling. A pillar of fire is enough for me, unfortunately I don't trust the witnesses.

Don't be afraid, if you are praying you will get nice ecstatic visions and you may even continue with it.
