    It would be so wonderful if Andrew was minded to while in Sunday School let Boris and the low life beings that have taken us into captivity know that we are sick and tired of the bullshit games and demand that we be released from the mental prison that we have been confined to. The Adam and Eve story is nothing more than the introduction to the Matrix that keeps us bound in low level vibration as servants to the ones that enjoy the paradise that is creation. The dream is over and there is no weapon that will stop our march to true freedom and regaining our natural powers and place in creation.
