      The Daily Show did a great segment about her making too much sense. It was great.

    To be fair, extraterrestrials being angels and/or demons (they are the same thing, but demons are bad guy angels) is perfectly in line with Biblical texts. Heaven is written as a physical location somewhere above Earth, what we now understand as away, in space.

      It’s funny how she’s suddenly on the right side of issues that came up and/or she learned about while in Congress, but she’s still on an insane tip when it comes to all the shit she had in her head from before she got there.

      It’s like poor Marge is an average halfwit and has been being lied to her whole life by folks who want to keep her and her community scared and compliant. Someone who would profit greatly from their congregating around them as a leader. Hmm I wonder how that could happen 🤔

    I want to point out here that extraterrestrials being demons is no more absurd than extraterrestrials being a thing in the first place.

    We have no evidence of extraterrestrial life.

    We have no evidence of demons.

    We have no evidence that extraterrestrials are demons.

      As a hypothesis, the existence of extraterrestrial life does not contradict any evidence we possess. It is perfectly consistent with everything else we know.

      The existence of demons contradicts virtually everything we know.

      Pretending the two positions are equivalent is intellectually dishonest at best, and a joke at worst. Please keep humour to designated communities.

      We actually do have valid, scientific hints at extraterrestrial life.

      We don’t have definitive proof.

      We certainly don’t have anything that says there are more advanced species that ever existed.

      We definitely have nothing that says they’d been here or influenced us in any way.

      But there being extraterrestrial life is FAR less absurd that there being “demons”; some shit made up to scare people into tribal compliance thousands of years ago
