My first instinct with this guy was that he was just another nutty conspiracy theorist. But if the Vatican was harboring secrets about the aliens it must be true!
If there’s one organization that is way ahead of the curve from everyone else when it comes to science and technology then it’s definitely the Vatican.
Isn’t having knowledge of a non-human intelligence one of the core beliefs of all Abrahamic religions?
Something tells me this guy is only just getting started.
When I was a kid I saw a light
Floating high above the trees one night
Thought it was an alien
Turned out to be just God
Their space program would have the most lavishly resplendent rockets. All that stained glass and renaissance fresco work.
OK. . . I’m listening. . . .
uhm… aren’t we fairly awash in “non-human intelligence”?
For roughly 2000 years, the small sovereign nation that exists within the city of Rome has spread rumors of human resurrection technologies, as well as a rare chemical capable of converting water directly into wine without the temporal requirements of a fermentation process. The Holy See has historically used their threats of this secret knowledge to colonize large parts of the world
I’d expect a little less woo and a little more skepticism here.
Yes, but here we’re talking about technologically advanced intelligences – say at least at the level where they can invent the wheel. And rumor has it the Vatican knows something about one that even has several wheels within wheels.
Jesus Not Found
You sound… disappointed?
Wouldn’t that start to look like the Warhammer 40k ships
Wouldn’t that be all (or nearly all, depending on definitions) theistic religions?
More… wary.
Church I grew up in was highly evangelical and full of a lot of catholic conspiracy theorists, who also were jewish conspiracy theorists. That and their phrasing left a mark.
As we saw in The Men Who Stare at Goats, the DoD has its fair share of complete nuts.
