I wouldn't say God needed a spaceship but that the children of Israel used lavers, altars, and animal sacrifices to appease their own consciences. This process or this ritual PROBABLY took on an animalistic mindset with the people. Maybe not as bad as the Mayans offering up their own children and brethren but there had to be some carnality involved to say the least. I say this because in other passages God voices His displeasure in the blood offerings...

EXCELLENT post, I agre with much of this. It certainly makes MORe sense that by overreaching as many do, to speak of UFOish, alien vehicle(s)., I believe that to stem from overactive imagination(s) that have no respect for things that only GOD has any business knowing of. I also agree with Aquila's "spiritual delusion" post above the other post above.
