But Officer, These Horses Are Totally Sober!.Feeding the Myth of Christian Oppression.Nonetheless, in many conservative Christian communities the idea that Christians are somehow "oppressed" refuses to die. The United States is a majority Christian nation, with members of the religion's various denominations making up nearly 80% of the American population. Even so, it seems to me that if the 2012 apocalypse is one big misunderstanding, what does that make the beliefs of these cultists? If there's not going to be an apocalypse in the first place, why should the aliens bother showing up? If aliens really do live inside the mountain, why has no one outside the cult detected them yet? Oh, that's right - their advanced technology shields them from detection. It seems to me that this should be a simple critical thinking problem. The mountain is said to have played a role in inspiring everything from Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" to Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Scientists say that is because when the 1,230-meter (4,040-foot) mountain erupted, its peak flipped upside down before crashing back down upon the mountain's base. Pic de Bugarach has long been famous because rock samples taken from its peak are actually older than points measured at lower elevations. They also reportedly believe that the unique mountain is in fact home to a race of alien beings that will emerge to rescue the gathered humans and transport them to a new civilization. The Independent reports the growing flock, whom locals refer to as "esoterics," believe the world will come to an end on Dec. There's no mention in the article on whether or not these are supposed to be Mayan aliens.Īn estimated 20,000 New Age believers who say the "upside down" mountain is home to aliens who will rescue them from an impending apocalypse have saturated a small French commune near the foot of the picturesque Pic de Bugarach. Anyway, Yahoo News reports today on a French commune made up of New Agers who believe that when the world ends on December 21, 2012, aliens will arrive and transport them to a new civilization. Even though the big deal is supposed to be the end of the current cycle of the Mayan calendar, the Mayans generally have to explain that it has nothing to do with any sort of apocalypse and that Westerners who say so don't understand their beliefs.
I've commented before on this blog regarding the ridiculousness of the 2012 apocalypse, including conversations Westerners have had with actual practitioners of the Mayan religion. Now that 2012 is here, stories of 2012 cultists are beginning to appear in the mainstream media. Given the ongoing nature of politics, truer words were perhaps never spoken. He added: ‘I get more common sense out of the aliens than out of Scarborough town hall. Parkes further explains that his experiences with aliens compare quite favorably to those with his fellow Town Councillors. Granted, the Whitby town council is not exactly the national stage, but you never know - this could be the first phase of a takeover by genetically engineered alien hybrids of the strategically important town of North Yorkshire. Many contactees have stories like this, but this is the first case I know of in which a sitting politician has been so open about them. Three years later his ‘real mother’ took him on board an alien craft. A 2.4m (8ft) ‘doctor’ dressed as a waiter offered to help after Mr Parkes’s mother left him at home, it is claimed.
Mr Parkes, 52, said another alien encounter occurred when he was three and had chicken pox. The extraterrestrial is said to have had huge eyes and tiny nostrils.
It enters my mind through my eyes and it sends a message down my optic nerve into my brain, saying “I am your real mother, I am your more important mother”.’ In an interview for Metro, he recounts an episode in which the alien appeared to him as a baby and explained their strange relationship.
Simon Parkes, a British man recently elected to the Whitby town council in North Yorkshire, has a secret that he is finally sharing with the world - his mother was a space alien. Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy Review Roundup.Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy EBook Now Available.
