Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.

Personally, I’m open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.

Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.

    No. This is what you said:

    Yeah, most unexplained videos go through verifications to make sure it’s not FX, and when it’s not, it’s how they end up unexplained. This is especially common in the UFO community.

    Then I asked who did that and you said:

    The Pentagon.

    They did not do that, you’re just lying.

      But they are the ones who released those videos of US navy pilots encountering a UFO, and labeled it as unexplained. Why are you saying that I’m lying?

        Again, this was your claim:

        Yeah, most unexplained videos go through verifications to make sure it’s not FX, and when it’s not, it’s how they end up unexplained. This is especially common in the UFO community.

        The U.S. military did not do that. Period. It is a lie to claim it did.

          Ok lmao. You just keep saying I’m lying but won’t say why. It’s not that hard to look up ‘Pentagon UFO footage’.

            I am literally saying why. They did not verify them to make sure it’s not special effects. They didn’t because there’s no way to do that. I can tell you that as someone who has worked in video production and post-production for over 20 years.

            It is simply a lie. They never did that. Looking up “Pentagon UFO footage” will not make it possible to verify such a thing. Also, I happen to know what you’re talking about and they never said anything about verifying they were all not special effects because, again, there’s no way to do that.
