At least religious people have an excuse because their belief comes from a place of suffering, no one who thinks these sci-fi fantasy concepts are real is suffering, these beliefs come from a place of extreme comfort, nobody who believes in aliens is from the global south, how many times do liars need to stand in front of governments and say “aliens are real” for there to be some kind of explicit denouncement from atheists for these absolutely non-atheistic beliefs that get a pass because they are sci-fi. PURGE THE NERDS!
what exactly have UFO cranks done to you? you hold more hate in your heart for them than religious people despite the immense harm the latter (mostly Christians) have caused because... they're a little silly? they haven't suffered enough?
They are annoying and self assured. Like, no man. I don't care about what some retired general who cares testified in front of a bunch of boomer congressmen about "something being out there" then not giving any sources because they're "confidential." Honestly, anyone who is so self assured that god or aliens do or don't exist annoy me because I can't find the energy to care about far fetched things one way or another, unless I'm forced to sit through church. X-Files is fun to watch because things actually happens. This is the real world. Nothing good or interesting ever happens.
And this is coming from someone who is a believer in aliens and some UFOs.
