Perhaps you could explain to me the logic of the following . . .
EVERY OTHER
value orientation on ATS
can post with impunity and tons of applause
-snip-
it is as though the informal consensus of the contrarian/ liberal/ atheist/ agnostic/ New Age/ . . . yadda yadda yadda

christian perspective is to be relegated to the lower hidden cesspools of INTOLERATED hell and never ever heard from again lest some folks' thin-skinned sensibilities be the least bit challenged or jangled.

It is *IMPOSSIBLE* to post WITHOUT posting out of one's value orientation.

Welllllllllll, no one I know of is holding a gun to anyone's head REQUIRING them to read this thread.
And, as far as I know, their keyboard scroll and page down buttons on their keyboards still work.
Personally, the above attitude that I'm responding to
is, to me, YET FURTHER EVIDENCE that the
UFO, ET facilitated MSM propagated globalist oligarchy GROUP THINK MEME about
--UFO'S
--ET'S
--RELIGION
--VALUES
etc.
has successfully penetrated the 80% or so of the population that some UFO researchers have asserted are vulnerable to such mind-control, propagandized manipulations.
Fascinating . . . and sad.

You guys are SLAYING Bo as if he is evil incarnate which is ironic all in itself,
but the fact of the matter is that we really don't know whats true or not.
I don't nessarily agree with a lot of what Bo says but you need not attack him
because you BELIEVE in a certain theory. The problem with concrete belief
is that there is never room to allow other reason. This issue is so complex
and convoluted that all aspects need to be reviewed
whether one likes it or not.

Easy, junior.
The only thing I was interested in was the one thing you could actually prove, and you proved that you were not interested in giving credence to your own philosophy by putting your own name to it.
That's fine.
If you don't believe your ideas have enough merit to attach your name to them, cool beans, but don't expect anyone to take the PhD that won't even say which school they got their degree from seriously.
Frankly, you sound uneducated. ESPECIALLY in the area of Psychology.
I don't have a problem with you spouting off unsupported claims about God and Aliens.. have at her… but to do so anonymously from behind the shield of Academia is just silly.

Well, thank you for bringing the world into focus through the lens of scripture!
Because that is, after all, what you're doing---is seeing the whole world through that particular lens. It's a rather narrow one.
Of course, the Christian's had to hop on the UFO bandwagon and re-script it and recast it through the lens of Jesus and their own theology.
I'm Googling The Christian Perspective on UFO's and yes, you're right in line with their thinking. I never knew that Christian's were trying to hijack the UFO issue and I guess I'm just a little shocked.

Thanks. I don't get called Jr very often at this age.

Uhhhhhh, Nope.
That's YOUR interpretation on what I did and didn't do related to you more or less !DEMAND! re my credentials etc. I merely demonstrated that I was not going to play your game by your rules. Whooop T Do.
That's fine.
Evidently not. You're still fussing and casting aspersions on my character, skills, training and motives.
If you don't believe your ideas have enough merit to attach your name to them, cool beans, but don't expect anyone to take the PhD that won't even say which school they got their degree from seriously.
I gather you are intolerant of folks of my perspective who fail to play your game by your rules.
Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear have always taken my perspective as well as my training and skills plenty seriously for my comfort.
I don't lose a lot of sleep over the contrarians who refuse to do so or who are unable to do so.
Frankly, you sound uneducated. ESPECIALLY in the area of Psychology.
Ahhhhh a snide personal assault. Impressive.
Thankfully, my student evals are tops in the department. More importantly, the thousands of changed lives mean a lot more to me than even the top statistics and embarrassingly positive narrative comments.
No. I'm not anticipating proving such to you.
I don't have a problem with you spouting off unsupported claims about God and Aliens.. have at her… but to do so anonymously from behind the shield of Academia is just silly.
Of course, according to YOUR definition of silly.
Wellllllllllll, thankfully, my training and skills have come in very handy in assessing a LOT of the UFO/ET evidence.
Particularly the personal narratives about personal abductions.
Sometimes the polished presentations of the researchers et al can be less easy to discern confidently.
But the personal narratives are usually not as difficult to distinguish between gross fabrication and authentic personal experience.
Interviewing thousands of clients over 35 years has helped a lot on such scores . . . regardless of your
uhhhh . . . esteemed incredulity.

The bible has been changed, re-written, and had entire chapters omitted. I'm not stomping on your belief's, or whats best for you and your life. I'm just merely pointing out that religion has nothing to do with ufology.

I've read a couple posts about the addition of the god/satan relation to UFO's E.T.'s and interdimensional beings in this thread, and it seems a lot of people are upset.
Just some background on me, I am not religious, and until recently I didn't believe in intelligent design, and god, and all that. But I've recently come to a revelation of sorts so let me spell it out. I believe that all living things consist of a soul, I will call it our conscious. I believe our conscious to be our soul. I think, before the big bang, all consciousness from all the living things in the universe existed as one, this would be the intelligent creator, or god, and then "evolved" itself into the universe. Breaking itself apart into many different areas.
Some consciousness turned into matter, some parts became more refined becoming independent consciousness. In this way we can say that we are all a part of god, and all of us( every living organism)( along with all matter in the universe) together make up god, or intelligent mind.
I also believe that this concsious is not held within our bodies, but projected out in all direction like light. In this way, your conscious thoughts are leaving your body at the speed of light in all directions influecing everything it hits along the way.
A collective of all the consciousness bunched together in one spot, like our galaxy, could prove to hold weight, or mass, which would create gravity. This is where dark matter comes in, it is simply the combined consciuosness of all living things bunched up in one spot.
Looking at it this way, at least for me, I find that both sides of the argument are correct in some way. I think that all of life could have evolved from a primordial soup, but this does not exclude god, or creation. So in a way it both works out. So I don't look at god, as a separate entity, rather a combination of all life and matter.
When I look at it this way, I find it problematic that we worship some outside entity. In almost every religion, there is a separate, outside entity that we are to worship and ask of answers and help. But I think these things should be directed inward towards ourselves rather than outward.
Thats how I think about it, and from this perspective, any alien or E.T. or interdimensional being, would consist of some form of consciuosness, and therefore be apart of us, and what we could call the intelligent mind, or god.
