UFOLOGY.

racocn8 comments on Dec 9, 2021:

"...ufology is regarded by skeptics and science educators as a canonical example of pseudoscience." That is because the national security apparatus sought to disparage and ridicule those who reported sightings, etc. That has been problematic because UFOs have particular interest in nuclear weapons and facilities. UFO performance characteristics do not resemble anything in anyone's inventory. Even with lots of good evidence, some skeptics have become debunkers who lie, cherrypick and misrepresent data, behavior which is far closer to religion than science. The resulting societal brainwashing in unfortunate. The Pentagon Report represents a small step in encouraging military staff to honestly report what they see, rather than to be intimidated into silence. The latter is an issue of readiness and national security. What is fortunate is that several "former" CIA/Pentagon staff have formed an entity to facilitate increased disclosure of the truth. These "To The Stars Academy" founders helped get the Pentagon to authenticate the videos, and to validate their UFO status (reading between the lines of the Pentagon Report). One interesting development of TTSA is that they are working with Avi Loeb to use existing telescopes. The Galileo Project also hopes to develop new platforms to perform technical evaluations of UFOs, this because the Pentagon is reticent to declassify anything. A link is below. It is unfortunate that the country's own military would refuse to be more cooperative on such an important subject. However, that same military contains a large percent of Christians who regard UFOs and aliens as demonic. As these folks are incapable of rational judgment on this subject, serious projects have been segregated into private information silos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ims6teZBfPg

It may be Christmas trees now, but people have the same outrage as the Canadians after finding mass graves of children hidden on church properties. One may reasonably predict that just as Christians try to burn synagogues and crosses, payback seems likely.

How to atheists return to religion? I don't understand

racocn8 comments on Dec 8, 2021:

Returning to religion, especially Christianity, is an extremely common lie Christians tell each other. It is like so many other lies and just so stories they use to occupy their empty lives. If you ever run into one, ask them the definition of an atheist. They'll always give you the incorrect Christian definition, where an atheist is one who makes the claim that god doesn't exist. The correct definition is that an atheist does not have a belief in any of the various gods. Other than that, possibly a few people never spent any time learning anything about atheism. Atheism has a rich and amusing literature, some of which lampoons Christianity. One would have to have a full-on brain fart to forget all that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQQDkuAhYOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBBoGAHCJ-8

I would assert that people who succumb to cults have holes in their emotional maturity that the cults can fill. Emotional security is not overlapping with intelligence, so intelligent people often have as much vulnerability as the not so bright. The real problem comes where a cult's behavior and dogma has the effect of generating still more emotionally defective people. These young people are then brainwashed with narratives that reinforce their captivity. Another problem is how defective personalities are molded by the cult to perform specific tasks well-suited to their defect. Cults direct outgoing motormouths into being the street evangelists.
