Rgr. My "weird" app is on the fritz.

Anyone else see the NASA guy talking about us finding life on Mars and the people here on earth not being able to deal with it?

Haven’t seen that, but it’s absolutely the rationale they use to justify hiding the truth... “people will lose faith in governmental/religious institutions and we’ll slide into total chaos”

Yeah, I'm not sure they're wrong on that either.

Interesting stuff though for sure.

I highly doubt there'd be panic. There'd be far more curiosity, and sure, some who are scared shitless because "monsters". We're a fairly desensitized people and strong in our beliefs.

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 don't know, it would be interesting to see how that played out.

And for me, i'd agree. Us potentially finding life changes nothing on our earth, only opens up more questions and curiosity or we could truly just be alone in this galaxy.

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.

:(

Trippy...

I had Life on Mars stuck in my head one evening for some reason. 99.999% sure I didn't hear it anywhere. Just popped into my head. Woke up the next morning to find out David Bowie had passed away.

Our souls go on when the body dies, sounds like Grandma just wanted to let you know... I’d be happy about it

So sorry for your loss MTG.

I believe in the supernatural. Hell I think humans are super natural Ina way.

What are your thoughts on SYNCHRONICITY?

I've experienced it enough to make me believe in something quaky is going on.

Humanity is KIND Of the center of god's universe in the bible.

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.

Yeah, I don't really see how they could coexist but who knows how people's minds work.
