Ber ber beuno!
I have just come into my room after an x-files session, you see having come to uni I have, like most people, got into watching certain stuff on dvd; family guy, 24 and most importantly x files. I just got in from a 4 episode session, it really is very good. Anyway my point for this blog is something which was raised in one of the episodes, and yup you've guessed it, it has a religious link.
ok so Mulder and Scully are trying to protect some kid who is messenger from God or something, he is getting stigmata, and some guy (some kinda demonic character) has already killed 12 people with it, anyway the point that comes out of it, is that Mulder (who puts his faith in the existence of aliens) doesn't believe Scully when she talks about God (Scully, although she is Christian puts her faith in things which can be proven)

I found it interesting that both Mulder and Scully display faith, neither believes the other, and both require proof of the other's viewpoint to be able to believe. Scully has a reasonable belief in terms of the existence of God, seeing as it is a popular viewpoint, whereas Mulder has the reputation of being well "spooky" since he believes in something which has a minority viewpoint.
I haven't really got a conclusion to this blog, or a particular point, other than it seems to me that most people have faith in something, but also reject other things, even if both are as rational as each other, also that people have such strong pre-existing beliefs that often events will be interpreted in the way that person wants to see them, for example Mulder sees much more "proof" of alien existence than Scully, and vice versa on the God issue.
anyway I can hear the music starting up again.
The truth is out there...

I think I remember that X-file(s?). Have you watched Toombs? I think that one/ones is the best.
everyone says that tombs is the best, but im not sure. There is a two parter with an alien shape-shifter which is damn good, bassicly all the two parters are really cool. One where mulder and scully age on some ship is pretty interesting, you should re-watch some, they get better with age you know?
