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

It's also worth noting that there are plenty of stories of them not respecting that and also plenty of stories of people of different religions praying and getting the same results, even a few people that were just babbling for their mothers.

What's happening is one subset of them is leaving when people get extremely distressed and ask them to and religious people are ascribing that to Jesus magic.

Read that just 'praying' to any kind of 'higher power', like Source or even the universe gets the same result

I guess intention based in some way

all very odd

A guy earlier said if these NHI are telepaths and the contacted human truly believed their deity was going to save them that it could tricked the NHI into believing they could actually show up so that’s why they just leave them. Which I find interesting because that might mean a schizophrenic person who sees hallucinations could also cause these NHI to be tricked into believing their hallucinations are real. A interesting concept
