I found it interesting some of those advocating for alien involvement on earth are also some of USMB's saved and devout faction.
Goes against dogma, wouldn't you say?
People are people, most of us are hypocritical to one degree or another in some aspect of our lives, that's just human nature. As far as religion/atheism is concerned, other than for self justification, self superiority, I see no reason to find fallacy (real or imagined) and demean, says more about the person doing it. That's why I made the distinction between those who are alien adherents and those who use it to scam people.
"As far as religion/atheism is concerned, other than for self justification, self superiority, I see no reason to find fallacy (real or imagined) and demean, says more about the person doing it."
What if the dogma is a fallacy? Are those of us who disagree with it supposed to nod our head and say "yep"?
Fallacy to whom? How about, if it's not hurting anyone then keeping one's opinion to one's self is most likely the best choice? That used to be the norm among many. Again, I have no problem what people believe as long as they don't attempt to force their views on the rest of us.
If some Druid want's to bless me I just say thank you and move on, if some secularist want's to bless me with the Constitution I say thank you and move on however if some satanist want's to bless me I say no thank you and move on. Unless I'm invited into a conversation on the matter that I want to participate in I keep my beliefs to myself or I join in when I'm slamming someone who's postulating based on stereotypes, hate and negatives.
