The sheer idea that a big part of both branches of Congress and the white house itself has been controlled or orchestrated or however you want to phrase it by a single very cult-like religious group for the last 40 years is just disturbing.

ROFL

Yeah man, Dan is a complete nut.

No question there.

I have a real difficulty with people trying to drag church into the state, so to speak. They're ****ing with the foundation of the country, both constitutionally and historically, no matter how much they want to rationalize to themselves and everyone else with the whole "this has always been a Christian nation!" bullshit.

No. It has not. This has been a "Christian nation" since the 1950s when they propped up Communism as this Godless Atheist threat to everything good and Christian, and forced "God" into the pledge and onto money and into every other nook and cranny they could find. It's social engineering built on fear.

And it's, of course, the exact same thing they're doing right now with "Global warming isn't real/Science is bad!" "Don't vote for them, they're all socialists!" and that favorite old ditty "They want to take our guns!"

And that fear mongering works really great with a certain segment of the population, enough to get a president elected with a platform that amounts to little more than fear and vitriol.

It's a fun podcast. I think there's even a part where he goes into how obviously bigfoot is real.

It's great. He's nuts, but it's fun.

Just in general I try to avoid the topics of politics and religion, because I think nowadays it's next to impossible to have a civilized discussion about either one and I apologize if I violated anybody's sensibilities with my comments.

Yeah it might be. Just because we hadn't seen something before doesn't mean it's actually rare or even unusual. We may just have finally reached a point where we could detect these interstellar objects, and now we'll find them all over

What's crazy is how many people still don't want to accept that those videos are legitimate. I've heard everything from "they're hoaxes," to "they're just issues with the cameras." As if they were posted by some amateur with a phone cam, and not the U.S. Navy and DoD.

But figured you would let it drop, just wish I had the ability to put a dent in those thoughts... as it stands you’ve got us all lumped into a box that doesn’t fit at all

Pretty interesting stuff, especially how NASA scientists still to this day study the design to understand propulsion (and how they got it back in the day with this design)….

For the religious it's easy: "They too are God's creation". The existence of Aliens means nothing other than the discovery of another of God's creatures.

And who the hell really has faith in our government institutions as it is?

I dont believe in supernatural stuff but this is still very strange. Last night I heard something fall and hit the ground, pretty loud but I was too tired to get up to investigate. It sounded like it came from the master bath, and in my semi-consciousness I attributed it to just a shampoo bottle or something falling in the tub.

When I woke up this morning, I found that it was a picture of my grandma that had fallen off the hallway wall by my bedroom. No more than 15 minutes later my cousin called me and said she passed sometime last night in her sleep. My aunt found her this morning when she went in to wake her up to take her for her dialysis.

Some of the most religious people I know are VERY dogmatic in their belief that no aliens can exist because they're not in the bible.

I think 'the religious' can be a WIDE swath of people with widely varying beliefs not easily lumped into one category. A lot of them would probably just assume some government conspiracy.

Though I would like to see them land on Sentinal Island just for the lulz.

Knowledge of aliens wouldn't impact religious folks any more than other scientific discovery since the earth was created, 6000 years ago.

The Sphinx has been digitally tested to be 20,000+ years old....Christian establishment isn't about to let that seep into main-stream consciousness. Keeping people scared, controlled and ignorant is quite profitable.

Th Egyptians were VERY adamant about the importance of the arrangement of the cosmos...and its governing principles. We've been sold it's random...it isn't. It's deliberate order...and they knew it....down to the atom and beyond.

There is one thing...and that's it. We are just small, animated, components of it...."it knows if you've been sleeping, it knows if you're awake...it knows it you've been bad or good.....or karma will wreck your shit".
