And even more then that considering that it takes only few minutes to check to see that these ufo cases are total fraud and yet there are millions of people that believe in them. That have this great desire to believe in them so much so that they don't care and don't bother to check it out. They don't want to hear the rational side, like Dan Aykroyd video I recently posted.
Or very recently on Halloween there was a video trending on youtube by two guys talking called "Three Bizarre Cases Of Alien Abductions". One of which is Walton's case and at some point one guy mentions Carl Sagan while the other immediately shushes him with "Will you stop with the fucking Carl Sagan already."
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"
