But I am curious to see whether the ideas that work very well in moderating the religion forum end up being applied to other subjects,
***I’m curious as well. I have even proposed such a system to the mods but I think the religion mod is the only one so far who actually WANTS to see a decrease in vitriol and is willing to put forth the effort to try it.

Hope they're gentle on you with those anal probes!

INDEED!

I don’t think we need fear that, at all.

I think both the RM and JimRob would tear such a thread out by the roots.

Evidently the RM or someone operating in that role changed the designation.

Ah well.

I’m glad there are folks in the Roman congregation who know the score of the evil of such critters.

There’s a disturbing amount of evidence that the Vatican at higher levels is . . . to my mind . . . overly complicit in the same globalist . . . complicit perspective that the shadow government is guilty of. I hope I’m wrong. But there’ve been more than a couple puzzle pieces of that sort, imho.

John Mack, Psychiatrist to the Abducted
The opening session featured Dr. John Mack, a Harvard Medical School psychiatrist who believes, on the basis of reports from his hypnotized subjects, that many people have indeed been abducted by beings from outer space or from another dimension. He brought with him one of his witnesses, who described seeing a large flying saucer hovering over a telephone pole.

To Dr. Mack’s surprise, there appeared in the audience Donna Basset. According to Time magazine, Ms. Basset, while researching Dr.Mack’s work, made an appointment with Dr. Mack, pretended to let him hypnotize her and then related a totally faked abduction experience, which the doctor swallowed. Dr. Mack’s response: “I still think she may have been abducted.”

I was born into a wealthy family but space aliens abducted me and returned me to this poor family by mistake.

At least that’s what I was told until I found out the truth and that was really hard to believe!

It’s fairly certain they’re not from this galaxy, as G2V stars (like ours) don’t occur so often except as mates to varying other stars...binary and trinary systems.

Too far outside the circum-galactic habitable zone, and younger stars yield low metal counts, which are essential to technological life. To far in, and beides being dangerously crowded, we wouldn’t be able to see outside the galaxy at all, and what kind of life would that be?

So the alternative is to describe life navigating between glaxies.... I doubt there’s been enough time in the later evolution of the cosmos for anyone to have made that leap. Not least of all, us.

In short, I think this “Alien Abduction” nonsense is just that.
