Hi, ive recently come to the same decision you have. There are just too many religious nut cases in the world to not be alone in it. Although that retard you work with is half right about the battle of los angeles. February 24/25th 1942, the united states military fired over 1400 anti aircraft rounds at an uknown object over los angeles for 3 hours. Numerous eye witnesses said the object never moved nor retaliated and simply vanished after a while. The military claims it was just a drill but they used live ammunition, hurt dozens of people, killed 4, and destroyed property. So yes the battle of los angeles took place but it was not an invasion.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
