I want to address an important question or topics that resonates throughout ATS about Aliens, God, Conspiracies, and in some cases "The Meaning of
Life". First, I'll say that I believe attending churches or "holy ground" for prayer and/or searching for purpose in anything is unnecessary for
the survival of mankind. I think we can safely unanimously hold unto that belief, or at least the majority here on ATS can. Religions or organized
religions has done really nothing significantly positive for us as a human race, if you really think about it, and because of this lack of progressive
movement on our spiritual, emotional, and intellectual wellness, we must look a little closer to what the reality is. Whether we'll know the absolute
truth one day on who is "The One" to save us all in the last days or.. know one day everything we need to know about "Aliens/UFOs" before actual
"contact" or "rapture", is almost impossible to know. We all could make up our minds on what is more real to us in terms of what is actually more
truthful, and if this helps you live a more productive life, then so be it. I think my perspective is that I'm frustrated over the fact that we live
in chaotic times where the truth is almost a monumental task to find out or try to figure out. Or if you say you know the truth, you still cannot be
absolutely certain. You can probably figure out why we're at this point in our life that everything needs to be questioned, pounced to the very end
until we are completely satisfied that what we've learned is "The Truth". We can play the game of possibilites, probabilities, and consistantly
strong evidence, but at what point will you say "Yes, this is the absolute truth." I believe there is far too many questions unanswered and far too
many truths kept hidden from the people that I think for all of humankind to finally know "The Truth" one day we're gonna have to conjure up large
amounts of courage and infiltrate the government to demand what they know, if anything, about Extraterrestrial life and what other important
information, if any, regarding our planet's future, history, or current status. To say that our government is not looking out for us is in itself an
important truth. Our government must, and I must emphasis this, they must be in possession of "proof" somewhere, some kind of "truth" locked away,
that can really open our eyes. Opening our eyes, making it a little easier for us to know what is real and what is not real. What is false and what is
valid. Where to go and where not to go, and so on. So far, I have not been impressed with the people, especially us as Americans, to gather together
as an unrelenting force, a stampede, or a "War for Truth" so to speak, to get somebody to present us with ulimate knowledge, or simply have our
questions answered even if that answer or truth is too hard to face. But it must be done on a scale that has never been seen before. So yes, I say
start with our own government, start a fight, and pry away as much information as possible, because new undiscovered information is what is going to
finally unlock this mystery.
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of
increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
--Harry S. Truman
