I\u2019m not even sure if that\u2019s the right term, but it seems to fit! If I\u2019m off base with the usage, feel free to correct me.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I couldn\u2019t care less about what anyone believes in when it comes to religion. I\u2019m not religious myself, and I fully support everyone\u2019s freedom to believe what they choose. That\u2019s something to celebrate!<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that there\u2019s a concerted effort to intertwine UFOs with religion and theology. It\u2019s blatant, and while it might seem subtle at first glance, it\u2019s certainly not new\u2014remember L. Ron Hubbard? Others will surely follow suit, but I find it disheartening that some are blurring the lines between faith and UFOs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s beginning to feel quite manipulative. Although this trend has simmered in the background through various movements, there is circumstantial evidence suggesting that there\u2019s a cultural campaign trying to push this on us. I just want to enjoy some good UFO videos, read interesting encounter stories, critique government secrecy, and engage in debates about what\u2019s real or fake. I certainly don\u2019t want to get pulled into a belief-based cult! The more I see these obvious attempts to subvert the topic, the more I distance myself from it.<\/p>\n<p>Take the NJ drones incident, for instance\u2014there were fake Ezekiel&#8217;s wheel videos being circulated, along with various religious symbols. Sure, people can do what they want, but come on! It\u2019s increasingly overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>The thought of it churns my stomach, especially with places like SW Ranch becoming what they are today. It feels like those lines are being blurred once again.<\/p>\n<p>Believe what you want, but yikes! It reeks of exploitation when you consider how religion has been misused by unscrupulous individuals to prey on vulnerable people searching for answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nIs anyone else feeling a bit\u2026 overwhelm by this proselytizing vibe?
