A book that praises Trump and says he's a good guy, that says how a piece of bread contains Jesus, that god of the Bible speaks to him, that MAGA is honest and just and pure is easily more factual than that of a man who claims he encountered aliens?
Yup. The difference between the books is that Vance is simply a political opportunist, while Strieber is insane.
Boru
So you are saying that liars are more factual than crazy people?
But Strieber is probably also an opportunist who is just trying to write a bestseller by claiming to have met aliens like George Adamski did before him as did Betty and Barney Hill and Billy Meier.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
