When times get tough, even scary, people turn to religion. Those without any solid religion turn to any fake religion that appeals to them. Same thing with UFOs and the scary condition of the world today. They think maybe the UFOs will save us. Sad.
PS -- you forgot the "bitterly clinging" and "guns" part. ;-)
Cheers!
Certainly a lot of New Agers feel that way . . . and a lot of ‘ET’s’/ fallen angels/ nephilium/ watchers have been cultivating such a perspective . . .
including
the notion that UFO’s are going to come and RELIEVE THE EARTH OF THE BURDEN OF THE IDIOT CHRISTIANS who are characterized as holding the earth back from the NEW AGE.
Some Christians think that’s satan’s counterfeit to explain the RAPTURE.
We shall see.
Authentic Christianity is unique amongst all the religions of the world and over all of history.
It’s precepts are worth researching.
Josh McDowell’s NEW EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT is a good starting place.
