    But it’s not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality

      The same thing can be said about most conspiracy theories. People want to believe in aliens because then we aren’t alone and they feel more comfortable, for example. The biggest issue I have is it leads them to do things that are un-helpful for the rest of humanity.

        But c’mon… There ARE aliens. Just maybe not here necessarily. But somewhere, there are 100% aliens.

          Probably true, but we all know what we’re talking about here…

        Believe is a powerful thing I would ague even if what you belief is wrong if that belief brings you peace it is not a false peace.
