Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The article makes it clear that what he means is that The Government is using Religion to manipulate people into not noticing all the extraterrestrial life that they have access to.

I wouldn't agree with that sentiment.

I have a feeling everyone is missing this crucial bit of context.

Wait, do I actually agree with Aaron Rogers on something?

(Reads AngryCommieKender's clarification.)

Nope, false alarm!

Whoaaa hey hold on, I agree with this completely. The U.S. Government does use religion to coerce and convince millions that their way is the correct way.

It just doesn't involve aliens...yet.

Well...it does, just not the type we're talking about. Cause if you're Right, you're right apparently.

I'm going off the title, I don't care enough about rodgers to read the article, but, now that you say that, I can't say I'm surprised. He's a clown.
