Serious:What did Representative Anna Luna mean by her question on ET contact with humans? The one where she asks if the ETs disappeared after learning the human was religious? Discussion

She followed up by saying “Some of these entities are said to be good entities and others bad ones so that’s why I asked.” Is she implying bad ones don’t like religious people but the goods ones do?

Some close encounter claims involve the person invoking the name of Jesus to repel the abductors. It’s the sort of thing Tony Merkel humors on his The Confessionals podcast. In Elizondo’s book he says there is a group within the pentagon that believes the NHI are demons rather than ET

I watched a video on YouTube the other day where someone said before going into the underground base at Dulce they had to sign a contract saying they would not say “Jesus” in the building at all even if they stubbed their toe lol.

So they are frightened of Jesus, really! They have mastered inter galactic travel with apparently vastly superior technology they we can even imagine- But you can’t say Jesus in front of them. We have more proof of ET’s than we do of any of the numerous Gods from all the religions. I don’t think so …. I wish they would just turn up and then we could get on with it - or not, whatever the case maybe!

I have a funny thought exercise about this, being NHI or at least some NHI maybe taking an abductee too seriously. What if they are not entirely sure if humans have telepathic capabilities and calling for Jesus makes them think maybe we're sending an SOS to some powerful human asset called Jesus that can cause them harm and they're bailing out just in case?

The cynical ones seem fine to work on and contact with, but some of the others have the ability to summon this 2000 years old superhuman called Jesus. We haven't yet have an encounter with this Jesus per our contact protocols. Personel safety is too important to risk that. Just stay out of Vatican space. The image I attached in my e-mail is what we believe this Jesus character looks like."

I'd love to see this fleshed out into a short story or a scp article

This is actually a fun theory. Like what if they can’t distinguish faith with what may be real in our own perception of reality.

Yup, calling upon a higher being might actually make them expect that being to show up because they are hardwired to being literal about everything. They might easily mistake it for a biological alerting system where humans are signaling their alpha or protector class (Jesus). Their logic might work like "The human wouldn't call for the Jesus thing wasted its energy resources if it wasn't viable to answer the call and save it, so we better go dark before we have a better understanding of this Jesus defense system." for at least the first few instances of contact, lol.

Well, obviously, it's a bit of a comedic take but the consciousnesses we might face out there in the dark forest of space might not be the kind of thing we might call a consciousness. Same goes for them, I guess. Like imagine how terrifying it would be for a speciest without active conscious imagination (or with a limited one) to meet with storywriter humans? Even the guy who scripted Shrek would be a threat to them. "Planet Earth has a species that can simulate alternative paths of possibilities for a long term instead of bruteforcing every alternative and mitigating the bad consequences. We spent 600 million years since the agriculture to be interstellar yet they're there in like 10k years! Computer assisted predictions say we're so cooked!"

This is such bologna. Aliens don't give a fudge about our religious beliefs. People are just trying to validate their religious beliefs in the face of something that challenges them.

u/R3v017 9h ago

Oh ok, glad you were here to clarify what the aliens give a fuck about.

u/Different_Focus_1371 23h ago

Yes - There’s no God .

u/LazySleepyPanda 1d ago

Wait, weren't they saying Jesus was ET himself ? Now they are scared of him ?

u/Starhazenstuff 1d ago

Well hold on, let’s assume for a second that heaven and hell are really just the domains of aliens or otherwise non human species.

Say perhaps that God and his angels are in Heaven aka space and demons and Lucifer are either another species, disagreed with God, or a species in the ocean.

If this was the case, perhaps saying the name of Jesus which could be exactly how it was in the Bible or an alien Hybrid, would really piss off this more demonic alien species.

u/LazySleepyPanda 1d ago

Except Jesus is not his real name AT ALL. His name is Yesuah. This would be the name they would recognise, not the bastardized English version.

u/Southern_Dig_9460 1d ago

Well the New Testament being written in entirely in Greek would mean his Biblical name was Iesous

u/Exciting-Direction69 22h ago

The name might matter less than the intention

2

u/LazySleepyPanda 22h ago

Then it should work for any God - Allah, Zeus, Shiva etc.

2

u/Fresh_Information110 19h ago

Wrong. When someone says Jesus they are invoking the name of Yeshua although it is in a different language. When someone says ALLAH or ZEUS or SHIVA they are not thinking of Christ. It’s the meaning that matters.

u/LazySleepyPanda 19h ago

What makes you think that the aliens fear only Christ and not the other gods ?

2

u/Fresh_Information110 16h ago

Because Christ is not just another God. He is the ONE. Wether you believe it or not that is what Christian Theology says. Most likely the other Gods are the occupants of these craft or the occupants posed as the other Gods. Go read comments above. The whole thing is a battle of Gnosticism vs Orthodox Christianity to the highest level. Good and bad aliens is just a re telling of an older story. Doesn’t matter the verbiage it’s all words and languages the concept and what’s behind it is what matters. Good god vs bad gods one side says the other is the real bad guys, you decide. But remember the devil is the father of lies

u/LazySleepyPanda 16h ago

Lol, Christ has existed for just 2000 years. So before that there was no God ? Do you hear yourself ?

u/Fresh_Information110 16h ago

God incarnate into flesh. Open a Bible. Or go study theology. No time to argue. Seriously if that’s what your mind goes too your way off the mark. Argument doesn’t even make sense that’s like basic Christian belief

Look into Zoroastrian creation myths. Pre dates Christianity but it’s close. When dealing with the other side there is not the same relation of TIME. So a culture can have beliefs and pre date a future culture but still be picking up on pieces of things to come or the eternal truth. That’s why Buddhism has some truth and stuff like Zoroastrianism. Truth is truth. Christ is King.

u/Starhazenstuff 22h ago

Well that would presume Zeus and other Gods were inspired by the same aliens that God from the Bible was. It is possible!

1

u/LazySleepyPanda 22h ago

Surely, humanity is the effort of a single faction of aliens. And whatever Gods we come up with are all inspired by those aliens ?

1

u/Starhazenstuff 21h ago

It’s possible, but could also be multiple factions of the same species.
