Aliens are 'demons' created by evil powers to feed on human passions, say scholars
mirror.co.uk ^ | Steven White

Posted on 09/08/2022 4:11:30 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A leading Catholic scholar claimed that alleged alien abductions stories have parallels with people who say they have encountered demons.

Theologian Dr Paul Thigpen went on to add that aliens are in fact more than likely " demons ".

He also said that the US government know more than they publicly state in relation to UAPs ('Unexplained Aerial Phenomena' - a US military term for UFOs ).

Dr Thigpen told the National Catholic Register: “With UAP we may actually be dealing with extraordinary phenomena of various origins despite similar characteristics.

“Extra-terrestrial hypothesis – the notion that we are encountering non-human intelligences from locations in this universe beyond Earth - best accounts for many UAP.

“The diabolical hypothesis – that they are demons – best accounts for some UAP reports, especially some of the so-called alien abductions’ that demonstrate clear parallels with what the Church knows as demonic encounters.”

These comments come after the US government last year reported on 144 UFO sightings by military pilots since 2004, with only one being explained away as a balloon and the rest "largely inconclusive".

You seem to have a stronger desire to do battle than discuss the issues. My reference to "sin of pride" is not really aimed at you specifically but rather the tendency of people to count to heavily of our physics as some kind of absolute. We are quite new to that sort of physics, so it is not that good an idea to hang your absolute hat on it. That is all I am trying to point out.

You take yourself too seriously.

RIP Quix. He/she made some sound arguments and now I tend to believe that UFO’s are manifested by Satan.

Science proves distances are to great for interplanetary travel

/\
That was my statement

You labeled it as
“ That is a sin of pride”

\/

You directed it at me.

So your

” not really aimed at you specifically “

is just more weaseling .

You’re the combative one , so just take your Alinsky projection and gas lighting and shove off.

Try really hard to discuss the issues rather than getting all worked up in a personal way. I AM trying to discuss issues, but you have ignored any counterpoint by taking offense.

The ENTIRE HUMAN RACE is guilty of the sin of pride over the physics of the issue. Physics as we know it does indicate that the "distances are to great for interplanetary travel". But our physics is merely 200 years old. Given our rate of gain in knowledge, we are very likely to discover that we don't know so very much after all. A mere 200 years ago nobody thought there would be nuclear weapons or moon landings. All of that is only in the last 80 years.

All I am trying to point out is that we probably are not as smart as we think we might be. After all, there are some kind of physical objects appearing in our airspace. Some want to make those into demons while others want to say, "Evidently those critters found some way to get here from somewhere else. Our physics did not seem to get in their way".

Many wish to hold fast to the notion that those things MUST be demons because we can't do the things their craft do. Is that rational? Is it not reasonable to assume that they know something we don't and were able to parley that knowledge into advanced travel?

See what a sneaky little devil this guy (”aces”) is. He waits for a thread to die down (i.e., nobody looking) and then he comes back to get even.

He can't actually do that without making an intellectual and logical point that fits into the conversation. He is merely doing the monkey's revenge: slinging ... I've never had a high regard for monkeys and find no use trying to talk with them..

“SETI”

It looks like I slept though a lot of posts on this thread.

SETI is classic “stupid science”.

It is the search for alien life that is so stupid they would announce their location with radio waves.

Nobody could be that dumb.

Oh wait.....

I have followed the UFO/alien topic for many decades.

They seem to appear in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Some of their deeds are “good”.

Some are “bad”.

Some are “neutral”.

Good luck trying to put all of the phenomenon in one bucket.

;-)

God loves me, that’s good enough for me..
So my level of evil as you say isn’t decided by fake rightious, White washed coffin people who know nothing..but play knowledgeable to each other. No love of God in them..

That being said...hope that’s not you..is it?

Enjoy..shalom..in the Jewish Lord.
