I'd like to know where you have seen these "statistics". Tongue

How about itsallbullshit.com? Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Why are ages, dates and time related words in bold?

As this is the introduction forum, I have to say that you have said curiously little about yourself (though a lot can be read between the lines). I just want to point out that textwalling is frowned upon and preaching is against the rules..

Well said and may I just say that is the cutest ban hammer I have ever seen drawn in your latest avatar.

On the topic of the original post: if aliens is to be the explanation for the actions of people here on earth, wouldn't the actions of those aliens themselves have to be explained in terms of prior aliens? If not, why do we need their influence to explain our own actions as a species? An infinite regress of external causes isn't much of an explanation.

I'm moving this thread to the Religion section because the OP is no way an introduction of the poster.

A good start,but I think perhaps the gauntlet might be more appropriate. The guy seems to me to be either a poe or certifiable.Thinking
