Why is it that humans perceive us reptilians as being evil?

It goes with the saying "Actions speak louder then words."

All humans have a reptillian brain so in that sense there is a bit of reptile in all of us...after all, mamals did evolve from reptiles you know.
That said, the human seems to have evolved a harwired fear of the reptillian, and specifically the serpantine. For example, the human brain is hardwired at birth to recognize a very few patterns. One is the human face. Show an image of a smiley face to an infant amidst a series of images made up of random dots, curves, lines, etc. -- the child's eyes will hone in in instintively on the "human looking" image. You can even see neural circuits light up with a PET scan-type imager, etc.
Another harwired human instinct is to involuntary flinch away from objects that move in a certain way. One such way is the typical "slithering" movement of snakes. Other mamals are also harwired to move in certain ways against such instinctive and potentially deadly predators. So the "fear of the serpant" is a very ancient and indeed pre- or proto-human instinct.

I could try to back up my post, i could comment about the whole underground thing, but i never posted expecting anyone to believe me in the first place. This is ATS after all. I posted this thread out of mere curiosity since i had seen other reptilian biased threads. The name is biased on things i like, and has nothing to do with my nature or spirit. All reptilians are different, just like humans. I suppose i just answered my own question as well in that regard. (at least partially anyway.).

You cant start a thread like this then just duck and dive when asked for evidence. Tbh i would love for this to be the truth but i'm afraid i take your claim with a LARGE pitch > bucket > truck load of salt.
Please prove me wrong

I am a reptilian in spirit, thats the only way i know to describe it. I understand your point though, people can claim something but with no proof its probably not going to go anywhere at all. I meditate quite a bit on the subject. I'm always asking myself.. "do people really need to know what i am?"

It's because of poor bathroom hygiene and etiquette....among other things...

I won't judge you for your community/spiritual preference, since I think a few other scalies would share your view if I asked them the same question. Though things such as "Kidnapping and killing humans so that they could keep them in their refridgerator as food" and "reptilians being ego-filled aliens" always make me cringe. Somehow, they act like us to some extent. :p Just look at Costco and post-sports events. Sounds like we can get along alright..... xD
