Why Did JD Vance Compare Aliens To Demons? (Forbes – WTH)

During his Friday appearance on Benny Johnson’s podcast, Vice President JD Vance opened up about UFOs, expressing his personal belief that aliens are “demons.”

...

Vance isn’t the only White House official who wants to believe—the Trump Administration’s recent registry of aliens.gov is suspected to be the first step of President Trump’s promise to release “Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life,” due to “tremendous interest shown.”

What Did JD Vance Say About Aliens And Demons? On Johnson’s podcast, Vance described himself as “obsessed” with UFOs, but said he was too busy to visit Area 51 and start investigating. However, Vance assured Johnson that he would eventually find answers.

“I'm more curious than anybody,” Vance said. “And I've got three years of the very tippy-top of the classification. I'm going to get to the bottom of it.”

...

The vice president went on to explain that reports of extraterrestrial activity fit neatly into the framework of his Christian faith.

“Celestial beings who fly around, who do weird things to people, I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything as otherworldly—to describe it as aliens. I mean, every great world religion, including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there, and there are things that are very difficult to explain,” Vance said.

Unlikely to Advance SCIENCE!
.
I can see that.
After excluding the explainable and digging into “alien” types it took on a negative spiritual circus....IMHO

[Mark17]

As Heiser said, demons are the wandering spirits of the dead Nephilim. It isn't the Nephilim or their spirits we need to fear. It is their parents, fallen angels.

I believe you are correct sir. Not demons. Fallen angels, appearing as angels of light, whose goal, is deception.

[Glad2bnuts]

“God”came to Earth in a craft with his Throne aboard, described as “wheels within wheels” and Ezekiel wrote of it.

To experience a physical plane of existence, mustn’t one take on a spiritual form? Just as you must take on a spiritual form, to experience that form of existence.

I pray that I am blessed to find out about what comes after my physical end.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“Jacque Vallee has said since long ago that these aliens seem to be from the spiritual realm.

In the context of Vallee, it is up to your spiritual orientation to decide whether they are evil or good.

I leave that to you.”

If they’re from the “spiritual realm,” why do they need a space ship?

[captmar-vell]

Because they are manifestations and they will appear in any manner that causes us to look at them.

Appearing as drones, orbs, even bigfoot, or the expected silver gun metal grey disc etc., The spirit world operates in a bizarre manner and works in the physical world by obtaining authority to do so. The more we look, the more we seek to encounter them, the more authority they receive.

The increase in appearances along with the increase in attention provides them greater and greater access.

[Wuli]

He did not invent the idea. It has been proposed by others before him. Maybe he did think of it on his own, but it’s not an original idea.

Paging Quix. (RIP)

[SPDSHDW]

Demons or some sort of nephilum.

[metmom]

He’s not comparing them to demons.

He’s saying they ARE demons.

And I agree, along with a number of Christians.

Vance is right.

A decade ago, the New Horizons probe flew past Pluto. I was all-in on this saga for years, so I read anything on the topic. One thing that caught my attention was the engineers’ concern for the probe hitting a random piece of space rock, especially as it approached the Pluto system. They said at 40,000 mph (the probe’s cruising speed), all it would take to destroy New Horizons was impact with a rock the size of rice. That didn’t happen thankfully, and we got stunning photos and another demonstration of American exceptionalism.

A few years thereafter, on FR there was a great thread on the physics of space and light-speed travel…not a Star Trek or sci-fi talk, but people who actually know physics (well…it’s the internet…they sounded smart…) and math really well. This same physics/math problem arose….the faster you go, it doesn’t take much in terms of size of what you hit, to wipe you out. Someone posted a formula and there was agreement on this problem. The problem isn’t just that collision damage issue, but even IF you could achieve light speed, you’d be exposed to this risk for years if not centuries.

The posters in this thread then posited that this damage issue COULD be overcome if mankind could, say, develop a guidance system that identifies rock etc. and steers around it. The counter to that was at light speed the size of the rock that’d kill you would be so small that 1) no sensor could detect it in time and 2) even if detected, you’d have to slow down the spacecraft, swerve, etc. The end of that discussion was that of a “never say never” attitude.

Fair enough. I’m not a physicist nor do I play one on TV.

But physics applies to all physical beings. It seems impossible, physically, for ET (or us) to travel at light speed for years to visit wherever, and then go home etc. It’s just not going to happen.

And yet, UFO sightings and aliens and close encounters happen with enough frequency where it’s hard to just blame it on drugs.

The answer, not just religiously, but empirically, points to demons. Fallen angels. And Demons really do hate us and want to serve us for dinner.

Why do “spiritual beings” need a spaceship?

Do all of you agreeing with this supposed statement of Vance’s understand how ridiculous they sound? Oh, and BTW, I absolutely believe in God - but also that He gave us a fine mind with which to understand much of what He created. Maybe people need to use this gift that He gave us, instead of spouting off like a bunch of superstitious savages who happen to have more technology than the typical superstitious savage.

[Wuli]

Or biologically engineered robotic clones, biologically engineered to keep functioning over the many light years of interstellar travel, reporting back to their makers any observation (like any good highly engineered, A.I. operating, robot).

[DoodleBob]

All it takes is one tiny piece of space rock, and you get annihilation.

Robots et al.

[Golden Eagle]

Why do “spiritual beings” need a spaceship? Do all of you agreeing with this supposed statement of Vance’s understand how ridiculous they sound?

Conversely, how would you yourself know what spiritual beings, may or may not need? Or want, for that matter.

God, would not need or want a spaceship. Lesser beings, might. Or, it may just be the most effective image for them to project themselves as, today. In the past, it may have been a Leprechaun, etc.

XLNT Post Dood,
I read ‘Chariots of the Gods’ when it first came out and Grabbed everything
about UFO’s since then. Books,Movies’
The Works. The ‘entities’ encountered
Never have the same story of why or how they Got here. Their vehicles are an aillusion as much as the occupants.
No physical Ships or alien body just a nasty spiritual that ‘Science’ can’t
Explain.

[TexasKamaAina]

Yes, this was a very unwise statement. He should know how it will be used against him.Makes me doubt his wits.

[yesthatjallen]

I read Chariots of the Gods and that's was my introduction to the alien-for-profit con.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

Because he played DOOM in his youth? If he did, it makes sense.

Big Money...
Barney and Betty Hill aND
“Fire in The Sky” ....
Yup
I spent my money.
Now I got a ‘Jesus Fish’.
