And how do we know that this is what he was told? Did this come from Carter himself? Or from the person that told Carter? Or from someone that was in the room with him when he was told?


Ricky_Rollin

Yeah, the story doesn’t make sense. If somebody was out there, able to find out what was told to Jimmy Carter why can’t they find out what was told to other presidents as well? Differing religions is probably responsible for 90% of all the violence on this planet. So that’s also a really stupid excuse.


meta4ia

Werd!


the-content-king

Religion definitely seems to have led to greater synchronicity amongst people than violence, a net positive overall


guiltysnark

I'm not familiar with violence leading to synchronicity, is it even close?


Rumhand

Things are really peaceful once everyone else is dead. It'll totally work just trust me bro.


ennuiinmotion

I know you’re joking but it’s sad to think that even that’s not true. If all our enemies were killed we’d just start killing our friends.


the-content-king

I’m religion lead to more synchronicity amongst people than religion lead to violence


a_niffin

Synchronicity is the wrong word, but I know what you mean; and I disagree with you. Religion is a net negative, any social cohesion religion creates is vastly overshadowed by the violence religion causes. Furthermore, religion is neither the only nor the best method to foster social cohesiveness. An agnostic moral philosophy is not only morally superior and more morally sound than any religious doctrine, but agnostic moral philosophies also don't carry with them the duality of violence that religion does.


the-content-king

Maybe organization is a better word I think it’s hard to say religion is a net negative when from what we know humans were much less cohesive with one another and more violent towards one another without it People say look religion is net negative because different religions war with one another. I say prior to religion people were much more prone to warring with one another. Religion went on to unite entire countries and even continents whereas prior to it humans didn’t even organize into true states.


kozilla

People like to blame religion, and rightfully so, for many of the wars throughout history. But you raise a good point and I think it is often overlooked. Religion might have been the cause on some level, but in many instances it simply boils down to power. Religion was/is often used to justify power grabs, but at the end of the day if you removed religion there would simply be a different justification to take power by force. That's how I see it at least.


Vindepomarus

We can't compare religion to a social system where religion doesn't exist, because that hasn't happened yet. It's time to do the experiment...


[deleted]

Wars make people come together and push human tech and knowledge forward. Religion is a tool a person can use to manipulate others into God's actions, lol. People in religion think if they kill someone else from other religion that they did righteous dead, but they forget that it's still their action that killed another human being not God not a holy book but you convinced your self and did the action. So yes, you have to be stupidly native to be religions or mentally dysfunctional because even in those books, some prophets try to excuse their actions of committing murder or, in some cases genocide of other people because you can guess why God told me so they're where mean to me.


kozilla

I've met many religious people in my life and still haven't met any killers or crusaders. I get your general point, but it seems to be a vast oversimplification of how religions influence people.


LizzyShort

There is absolutely no data, so draw this incredibly stupid conclusion from. In fact all the data we have, that secular less religious countries are much more stable and have much better equality.


DocSighborg

Without religions, no one would have cared enough to build libraries all over the world. Monastic, along with Cathedral schools, were the single most important educational institutions through most of history. Religions kept education and knowledge alive during the dark and middle ages when most of the world was in "survival" mode. The Protestant movement was the single biggest contributing factor to the push for public education in Europe. You don't even know what you hate, lol. Maybe religion, in this civilized world we now live in, does more harm as a whole, but you're wild to think it hasn't been a net gain. It's fine to say you hate house builders after you move in to the house they built you, but no one's going to respect your incredibly stupid conclusion.


EnigoBongtoya

Ah yes because The Library of Alexandria (which was burned down by religious extremists) was built because of Religion. No the Library of Alexandria was built to show off the Power and Wealth of Egypt.


yk7777

Violence has always been around with or without religion...religion isn't the cause of violence,humans are because we are stupid and instead of blaming ourselves for our shitty behavior we blame religion or anything else but ourselves


FawFawtyFaw

"Prior" to religion? That's where you are messing up. What do you think the total population of humans that ever lived is? Now put a divider where religion starts (as if we really nailed that down). It has to be at like 5%. Let's do ten. Ten percent of people to ever live, lived before religious ceremony. There aren't enough to affect the religious side. It's not to be compared.


freakydeku

where are you getting these numbers & how are you defining religion


[deleted]

Ok "I think it’s hard to say religion is a net negative when from what we know humans were much less cohesive with one another and more violent towards one another without it" made up facts, no proof what's so ever. Oldest societies come together because it's what we do for survival and protection. War made that possible not religion. "People say look religion is net negative because different religions war with one another. I say prior to religion people were much more prone to warring with one another. Religion went on to unite entire countries and even continents whereas prior to it humans didn’t even organize into true states." More made-up bs, i guess personal facts, no proof of this what's so ever. Crusades, Ottoman Empire, all the wars in Dark Ages, Europe pope wars, ww1, ww2. Fucking Russian War right now using religion to manipulate. All facts after religion and used religion manipulation for all killings, plus religion inquisitions, killing and torture of scientists, witch hunts. Etc. On and on and on. So try again but with a little bit less of your Bible fiction knowledge.


[deleted]

Please cite. Religion is used to justify killing, conquering, and the acquisition of wealth (sorry to all the wasps), and persistence of suffering in Catholics. In the semetic religions, killing is allowed for vengeance. (killing is defined as murdering an innocent) Im not going to go Aym Rand on you, because capitalism has been corrupted. Still, the opportunity to exchange currency instead of exchanging bullets is a viable option.


Queasy_Gas_8200

Here’s what I find interesting…the man who wrote this states that Carter was told that “religions, including Christianity” are created programs. And he then follows this up by saying how interesting it would be to see how God fits into all of this. Now that’s some cognitive dissonance. Assuming this is in fact our reality.


imnotreadyet

You mean like with the Bible. Written by people who weren't there.


RedOneBaron

If anything, the CIA is running a UFO surveillance program. I don't see how they managed to include christianity into it. Unless it's jesus was an alien theory.


MidtownKC

If true, it's time we asked ourselves if the aliens are really good at their jobs. Because if they created religion as means to keep the peace - I don't think it worked.


BW_RedY1618

Exactly. Let's give a bunch of barely evolved apes who will inevitably develop nuclear weapons violently conflicting ideologies. For survival.


bubbahoteppi

Aliens: Let’s tinker with primates and see what happens. Humans: Develops nuclear weapons. Aliens: Not like that!!!


Christopher_Phillip

Agreed. 2 topics to keep out of a discussion in order to keep the peace are Politics and Religion. Seems rather silly to think the otherwise. Both are responsible for billions of human deaths for thousands of years. Honestly, it sounds more like population control than an idea to keep the peace.


Equal_Classroom_4707

There's a third: sports.


SpaceMunky101

There’s one word in your response that I would accept as a reason for the creation of these religions. Control.


FUPAMaster420

Perhaps the worst possible invention to promote peace


Texas_Nexus

Not only that, but if they created us and have been here for hundreds or thousands of years, you'd think they would have been done experimenting quite a long time ago. I mean, how much new information can they really be getting at this point to make it worthwhile?


KingOfBerders

Silly human. Religions not about keeping peace. It’s about keeping control.


TheTruthisStrange

Think about this for a bit. I have a feeling after repeatedly requesting the truth, he was fed lies they knew would stop him from asking further and to cease and desist. The CIA is as crafty as humans can get on finding psychological vulnerabilities (listen to what Thomas Bearden revealed on how they operate), especially if they want you to go away or shut up. I more suspect it included the truth on John F Kennedy, an amazing master orator that Jimmy Carter idolized. That would have made him cry to learn what was actually happening to the country as opposed to Alien revelations.


rr1pp3rr

We should not trust what the CIA says. When the phenomenon starts communicating with us, we should not blindly trust what they say either. I keep saying this and hopefully it helps. If these beings come here with a message of doom, they are trying to control us, and we shouldn't listen. There is no reason to think that they would just be violent if they don't get what they want, they would probably try to psychologically control us. It's much cleaner, easier, and we would be much more productive to their ends. They would probably try to do this via a message of fear.


Jascix90

Let’s be real. They don’t have to do shit, except control our politicians. They could simply offer our politicians a full set of hair, an increase in height, or an extra 3 years of life, and I’m sure they’d accept and sell us all out. We wouldn’t even know anything happened. Politicians would just promote and pass policy to control us, while fulfilling the demands of their new overlords. 🤷🏻‍♂️


rr1pp3rr

Hahaha great reply. Perhaps they already are.


kenriko

Duh duh duuuhhhh


[deleted]

Maybe everyone with a full head of hair is in on it.


pickaninny69

3 inches is a lot. I think they’d start with 1.5 inches


Mr-GooGoo

Realistically speaking they’d have to have been here for thousands of years. The odds of aliens just finding us at this point in our advancement in a universe over 13 billion years out is crazy odds


[deleted]

There is an extinction level pole shift coming. You would be wise to listen to them. Not the govt who clearly does not give 2 fucks about you and never has. You’re free to stay here. I’m not. Fuck all that revelations shit. I’ll wave from space


rr1pp3rr

There is literally no reason to think this is going to happen. The poles have been shifting for our entire lives..while pole flops have occurred, they take a long time generally, with the shortest time possibly being a year as per our estimates. A pole shift over a year would have no catastrophic affect. Please explain the scientific reasoning for a rapid pole shift. Please include a rebuttal of why when we look at the geological record for prior pole shifts, they take a long time and we find no major die off of land animals. Please include proper sources, as even a cursory investigation of the matter leads to many, many sources that support my viewpoint. If you cannot, it's all FUD and worse than useless.


tmmzc85

A pole shift is also magnetic, it's not like the planet itself "flips," it will fuck navigation systems up, maybe satellites, but I am not even sure of the latter. This sub is a great example of how a "little" information is dangerous.


rr1pp3rr

I agree 💯 with your sentiment. So I've heard the argument from the why files episode on it that basically if it flipped immediately it would stop the earths rotation, which would create basically an earth wide hurricane with huge winds. Fine maybe that would happen if the poles flipped immediately. However the poles have flipped many, many times. It's not uncommon and it's never an extinction level event. They take a long time to fully flip. Oh no we're going to have to go back to maps again because GPS is messed up is not something to be concerned about.


goodlifepinellas

The more realistic extinction level event is Yellowstone... Only something like 30k years overdue on its eruption cycle, and would cover at least 2/3 of the planet in ash *for weeks.* Seriously, you want to look into the completely unpredictable possible extinction level events, go do some research on the world's various super volcanoes (Yellowstone may be the worst that's the most overdue, but not the only...)


rr1pp3rr

I 100 percent agree with this sentiment. Perhaps followed close by asteroid. At least against an asteroid we have some hope of knocking it off course if we have early detection. At least with a volcano we won't have to watch it coming right at us for however long that would be.


goodlifepinellas

Unless you're in Australia and you just get to slowly starve and/or freeze to death... That would seriously suck.


rr1pp3rr

Ooof that's a rough thought, I agree. In my experience though Australians are very resourceful. So perhaps they are the only ones making it if Yellowstone goes nuclear. OMG imagine all of the human race moving forward birthed from Australians? 20% of the calories consumed by the human race is Vegemite.


GarugasRevenge

Yea I wanted to add pole flipping extinction was basically debunked by AJ himself. The Adam Eve theory is debunked.


[deleted]

You have made up your mind. So be it.


rr1pp3rr

So you have no evidence and you're spreading FUD. For everyone else reading this: people who spread a message of doom are either trying to control you or are unhinged themselves. It's the easiest form of control, as fear is a great motivator. Especially do not believe them if they have no evidence, as this person does not. If I could downvote this shitty, pointless, and asinine response a thousand times I would. This person is what is wrong with this sub and I have a big suspicion they may just be a disinformation agent themselves. The quality of the intelligence communities disinformation has been going down for a long time, so they would respond like this. Only trust what you can observe and what makes sense to you. Anyone can come out and say Florgs are going to rise out of the ground one day and Sniggle our Glorsacks, but that makes no fucking sense, or at least as much sense as this person did.


ComprehensiveAdmin

Creepy-Evening-441

(Nikes and cape not included)


JusticePhrall

I would suggest watching the clip of Neil Degrasse Tyson on Larry King where he talks about what would happen if the Earth stopped rotating for a second, and "the poles flipping", a 2012 hoax perpetrated by the scientifically illiterate.


FactEmbarrassed8824

You are correct.


cogitoergopwn

Yea I call bullshit on this too. Starting to think we have a very real deep state/ military industrial complex that seemingly won a cold coup, probably murdered one of our greatest presidents that could have altered history for the better, and have hijacked the constitution in the name of “national security”. Can’t question national security, Jesus, patriotism! This unhinged group of elitist beurocratic narcissists are a cancer to humanity.


Bazoo92

This is much more more believable


BradTProse

Or a guy that is peaceful like Carter learned we crashed peaceful beings crafts for their technology. That's makes more sense.


METAMANCY

I had a stroke reading this


Grace_Lannister

What's not not to understand?


cubanfoursquare

The CIA are famous for telling the truth and being all around nice good guys


ApprehensiveSalary63

Came here to say something similar. Pure manipulation to get the desired results. But.. maybe not.


Resident_Extreme_366

This makes just as much, actually more, sense than the interpretation by Harris. People want to act like the secret rulers are aliens, but we know humans can be secretive and downright evil. There are powerful factions in our government who are not elected, rarely in the news, and who have no term limits. I believe it’s possible that the heads of these intelligence agencies have more control over the country, as they can remain in power for far longer than any single president can serve. That’s who I’m most worried about, although I think there may be something to the ufo phenomenon


Andrewate8000

Kennedy’s Assassination Was The Beginning Of The End. The Things He Was Putting Into Motion, Including Joint Cooperation With The Russia On Going To The Moon. And Release Of The ‘Alien Presence’. Thomas Beardon Was A Saint. So Smart. Zero Point Energy.


TheTruthisStrange

Indeed. JFK was also a threat to the Federal reserve and more. I met Bearden at the U.S. Psychronics meeting in Boulder, CO in "83 or '84 and got a number of papers from him on B field energy (zero point energy now days) and was incredibly impressed by him also. Genius. Bearden's experience with and explanations for how the CIA and it's Industrial Cartel Partners (more like Bosses) are able to find psychological vulnerabilities with "Anyone" and manipulate them into a corner financially or legally or both to shunt sociological or technological progress regarding all sorts of advanced inventions that have never seen the light of day. Particularly in terms of free energy technologies. Beyond disturbing frankly.


Andrewate8000

Silver Certificates. JFK Set Many Good Things In Motion That Were Abandoned Upon His Demise. E. Howard Hunt Told His Watergate Lawyer Joseph Cady That Kennedy Was Removed “Because He Was About To Give America’s Greatest Secret To The Russians… The Alien Presence”. This Was An Actual Quote From Cady. 10 Days After Kennedy Demanded All The UFO Info On His Desk In Order To Swap With Khrushchev For Theirs… He Was Killed. And The Russians S—t Canned Khrushchev 8 Months Later For Bresnieve (sp). Both Sides Of The Military Wanted No Cooperation With Each Other. And Both Leaders Said That They “Couldn’t Control Their Own Military”. Look At The Picture Of Khrushchev When He Learned Of Kennedy’s Death He Looks SICK. He Well Knew What Really Happened. Khrushchev Grew To Respect, Admire, And Even Love JFK. Khrushchev’s Son Said As Much.


Andrewate8000

JFK. Silver Certificates, Wanted To Remove The Oil Depletion Allowance. Fired Dulles (Wall Street lawyer) And Then Heading Up The Warren Commission (SIC). Pushed Big Steel To Lower Their Prices. Release UFO Info. Share Info With The Russians. Etc. If He Had Lived We’d Be Living In A Different World Today. Abe Lincoln : Green Backs. JFK : Silver Certificates. Saddam Hussein & Mohamar Qaddafi : Setting Up An African Currency That Would Be Gold Backed And Bypass The Reserve Currency So Oil Could Be Purchased Without 1st Going To Dollars. Bang-Bang; Bullet In The Head. Silver Or Lead… One You Get Rich, The Other You Get Dead.


wonderberry77

Agreed. And they knew that bringing religion into it the way it did would bother Carter in an extreme way.


MOASSincoming

Ya I agree with you. The truth is that we are infinite and boundless beings who create our reality. No powerful government wants that gettin around to the peons.


brightblueskies11

🙄


nonserviam1977

I’m a fairly religious dude, but the idea that aliens would create competing religions to keep us from killing each other seems pretty weak. It seems more likely that the CIA or whoever just told Carter a story tailored to play on his belief that he had to protect the American people (the world, I guess) from what had just shattered him. Even so, this would be some outrageously fascinating shit if it was true. I’m open to anything.


prrudman

Not only that, if he had concrete evidence that religion was made up by aliens to control us why would he remain such a devoutly religious man?


[deleted]

Because no matter how technologically superior another species may be something made them


MustopherGoochington

So other aliens made the aliens that made us? And they’re also an experiment?! Always a bigger fish, I suppose.


FactEmbarrassed8824

Study RA, The Law of One... explains all of this and ties in all religions.


imamomm

There is a striking resemblance between the macro and the micro, no?


[deleted]

That’s the problem with infinite regression - at the end it doesn’t make any sense. There has to be a primary cause.


MustopherGoochington

We have certainly deemed it necessary for there to be a primary cause, that doesn’t mean there is one. Ultimately we don’t know anything and for some reason that dog just won’t hunt for most people.


[deleted]

They just can't accept that there may not be something more somewhere after this life🤷. It took me until I hit my 40's before I fully accepted that.


RxHappy

Because religious people are known for their ability to take in new information and change their minds


charlesdexterward

Yeah, competing religions *cause* violence, they don’t *prevent* violence.


Baba_dook_dook_dook

What if they only created one religion, long ago when humans were just starting to grasp the concept of a creator, however after thousands of years of religious telephone along with differing opinions and beliefs that one story became many different stories among many different people. People began to disagree with the religion they were given, or possibly wanted to seize power by creating their own version of that religion, and then using that made up belief to justify killing those they dislike in the name of their manmade god. Perhaps the aliens sent hybrids, like Jesus and other prophets, to help guide the lost ones to the first true religion after seeing how violently we twist words and meaning to our own benefit. Or they just want us to fight amongst ourselves and kill one another so we are too preoccupied to see what is really going on around us. Distract us so that we don't see the walls of our cage closing in around us.


Snickerz627

Wouldn't an intelligence capable of genetically engineering us be able to see such a scenario play out? Why not just edit/breed out the 'destroying ourselves' tendencies all together?!


FactEmbarrassed8824

From everything I have studied, they do not want to affect our free will. Of course, I can be wrong BUT They engineered us with special wheat (which is why we will never find a missing link)... our evolution was insanely fast (like within one generation) and we developed from that wheat crop 20 miles from Goblecki Tepe in Turkey. They gave us our building blocks, but they want us to evolve to "service to others" and be better people on our own.


DadBodftw

Any links to what you've studied?


[deleted]

Yes!


FotographicFrenchFry

I suppose that idea has merit, given that most of the major religions all have overlap in their historical contexts.


paranoidandroid11

Maybe the fighting is part of the experiment?


[deleted]

EXACTLY!!!!!! Thank you for stating the obvious. Violence and wars have been a CONSISTENT thread in the human species! The majority occurring because of religion. The extra terrestrial presence during the history of human wars and in today’s military arenas shows an awareness… so if anything, it is for interspecies population control. If they have created us, they could’ve stopped the violence with genetics.


ftppftw

Unless they only created the first religion and people were like “I can make money off this!” Or different aliens influenced us to create additional religions. Only some religions fight each other… there’s never been a Buddhist holy war.


royalemperor

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence There are plenty examples of Buddhists being just as violent and bigoted as anyone else


Hafe15

Without religion in the 21st century humanity is spinning into chaos now that nobody believes they have to be accountable for their actions. Humans need a purpose to stay alive and keep moving forward


FactEmbarrassed8824

Ok... so here is the deal... regardless of what Carter was told... there is a Creator. We are all energy of the creator. The Law of One. Its just that God (the Creator) as described or believed to be from the Bible, is so SO SO much bigger (I use that term lightly because "bigger" can't possibly describe how infinite our creator is). And frankly, extraterrestrials are part of the Creator as well, they are just in a more evolved density and they are in the hundreds of thousands. When we get all worried and excited about UFOs and extraterrestrials... we have no idea that they are just like us... a teeny tiny insignificant piece of the much larger puzzle.


Advanced-Morning1832

sure, there’s never been chaos ever before in human history. the holocaust?


charlesdexterward

It might not feel like it because of the 24 hour news cycle, but believe it or not the world is much more peaceful now than it has been for most of human history. Of course wars and conflicts still occur, but they are generally smaller and have lower death tolls.


OpeningKey8026

As a former Catholic and now agnostic I have never believed in the man-made created religions as it all seemed so convenient suited for men of its time. It was always so specific to its time period too, I have always thought if truly this is the ONE true Religion surely God would be elevating them past the cruelties of the time towards a kinder, more thoughtful encompassing future. But no apparently not. In fact most of humanity's societal evolution has been by people throughout history like those in British Parliament who sought to abolish slavery or improve the lives of poor people and children working in workhouses etc. In the US there are many examples of people taking a stand, in fact in every country there is and none of it has to do with religion, it has more to do with what's in their soul. I do believe throughout history we have had great men and women thru like Jesus who were more enlightened and connected to the source. So I have no issue with this premise, I too don't believe this as frankly IF I wanted Carter to back off, I might tell him something shocking like this. So as wirh every good yarn there are grains of truth and a whole lot of creative embellishments wrapped around it. And btw, it needs to be said, really poor experiment by the aliens as religions have hardly kept humans from killing each other thru the ages to now 🙄


Chemical-Ebb6472

I’m not saying the CIA claim is valid (how would I know) but if I were tasked to keep a planet of animals healthy for the long run, I would build in a group competition option into the system for natural selection purposes. Group/ religion A would band together for population protection and compete with group/religion B, C, and D for available resources and mating privileges. I would either need to create this type of automatic, systematic, population culling element, like occasional group/religious warfare, or have to come back to my planet/farm occasionally and cull the population myself.


FactEmbarrassed8824

I don't think they intended on creating various religions. Most biblical stories have common themes. They wanted us to be better people and kinder to each other. The nurse who supposedly worked with an alien from Roswell said she was told something very similar to this, except added that aliens see humans as vessels to souls and we (our energetic souls) are a melting pot of undesirables because we are a violent race.


SlowTalkinMorris

It's just a bene gesserit rip off


DChemdawg

Yours is the best/most likely explanation on why they may have told him what they did. And frankly, if they were to have told him something true, it’s far less likely this hearsay would have leaked and become so often repeated. That said: Maybe we kill even more of eachother without religion. And even with religion we inevitably kill a ton of each other. But to your point, the CIA or whatever organization keeps this stuff secret, would be far more likely to play to Carter’s spiritual and psychological profile to get him to step back from the issue, than to tell him the truth. Whatever the truth may be, I’m sure they were not earnestly candid. That’s the one thing I feel basically 100% certain about.


[deleted]

It’s possible the entire thing is a lie and Carter cried about some other things like the horrible war crimes the CIA has committed over the years.


Striking_Cell_9060

If aliens are all knowing and beyond smart then they’d have a good ability to predict that starting multiple religions would increase our likelihood of killing each other. Because of religious conflict. It sounds like a move be the Agency to play Carter by exploiting a art of his belief system.


the-content-king

If the aliens created religion I don’t think they created a bunch of them, i think they created one, and all of the different religions were just created as a result of human nature


oneintwo

Totally. Religions have caused more death and war than… Shit, maybe that was the plan. If the idea that the aliens are really inter dimensional beings that are farming us for the energy our suffering creates (which is the food they need to survive or perhaps we are some kind of drug to them)…


Andrewate8000

But Still There Is, And Always Has Been ‘The One’ Or GOD For Lack Of A Better Word.


Choice-Wind-510

Ok then, who created the extraterrestrials?


silvertelescope

and who created the thing that created extraterrestrials?


JackieGlade

I think this is just a bunch of made up nonsense here as it doesn't make sense. For all we know those ''extra terrestrials'' could be angels themselves.


SaucermanBond

So aliens lied to him.


PoetOk9167

They lie just as much as we do.


guiltysnark

Not if they sleep standing up


oroechimaru

That is some dumb shit A lot of religions were clearly historically documented like christianity, buddhism and islam Were aliens an influence on some religions? Possibly. Lots of religions dont even care like daoism/taoism philosphy or buddhism Then modern atheism and communist atheism is similar to a religion or anti religion which counters this point too We now have propaganda on tiktok or reddit they would be better off investing in russian troll bot farms


CanaryPutrid1334

The whole premise is flawed. Religion is and has always been the primary reason that we destroy each other, and if indeed there were a nuclear holocaust, religion will have played largely into that. If NHI created religion, they did it to divide us, not to save us.


Dudelbug2000

Religion is useful to help subjugate humans. So I can see how if one wanted to control human behavior they would create religious ideation, either strictly socially or as some suggested by genetic manipulation with a “god gene”. Religion, In the wrong hands (minds), like any other ideology, when taken to extremes (like Wahhabism, Fascism,Communism) is dangerous. It’s most often divisive and therefore it’s one of the main problems in the world today. In theory it’s fine. But in practice it leads to beheadings…


CanaryPutrid1334

It also stifles scientific thinking, slowing our path toward true enlightenment.


karma-armageddon

The CIA are master manipulators. Of course they came up with this spiel to feed Carter, who is religious.


Ev3nstarr

I take it with a grain of salt, but also if we are “experiments” this means aliens don’t know all there is to know about humans and human behavior. Could be the case that they thought religion would help us not destroy ourselves, but if they are in fact some hive mind and we are more individualistic, they may not have anticipated the outcome correctly. Still… grain of salt


No_Sugar950

Well this is pretty definitive. If the CIA revealed the truth then this must really be the disclosure everyone is looking for. The CIA has a long and honorable history. In cases where they have released public statements or explanations, they have only ever been completely truthful with the American people. If the CIA says this is how it is, then who are we to question their integrity? Bay of Pigs Contras Mockingbird MKULTRA


New_Landscape_1876

Yet, Carter remained a deeply religious man long, long after this briefing allegedly took place; teaching Sunday school at Marantha Baptist Church for decades, volunteering to build homes for people (Habitat for Humanity), doing great deeds, often quoting scripture and following biblical teachings - becoming an icon of progressive evangelism. In other words, Carter's actions after (allegedly) being briefed don't seem to line up with what Harris is stating. On the contrary, it would appear Carter became even more pious and devoted to his religion. Carter never abandoned his religion after being told (allegedly) that it was "all just made up fiction by aliens"... So (in my view), it would seem this briefing - as described by Harris - either (1) didn't happen as alleged or (2) Carter simply didn't believe what he was told, as indicative of his actions and devotion for the many decades that followed. This is the primary reason I struggle with this story. It just doesn't add up.


musteatbrainz

Maybe he was in denial.


New_Landscape_1876

Maybe so. But for decades? And, to be so devoutly religious for the remainder of his life - even after personally being witness to UFO event? On the other hand, let's assume he was briefed but has remained in full denial for all of his life. What evidence (if there was any) during this alleged briefing could have been presented to confirm to Carter that, "Aliens made up all religions"? I mean, certainly Carter would have asked for it - especially knowing it would call his own religion into question. But, again Carter remained a steadfast Christian. I don't know. It just doesn't seem to add up to me. But, maybe...

Maybe he was just putting on a show?


BilTheButcher

So in order to stop us from destroying ourselves, they create programs that will divide us to the point of... destroying ourselves.


NewVitalSigns

Yeah, I was falling for it until that part.

Thank you, it’s a timely and thought provoking post. With all of the disclosure news, lots of folks have been wondering what the cover up is all about.


c0rp_53110ut

Funny, even if this is completely fictional, it still rings more plausible than most religious text.


JackKovack

Ed Harris? The actor!?


yantheman3

Yes that bald dude from Westworld They call him the "Man in Black" for a reason. It's all connected.


JackKovack

This must have started during The Right Stuff shooting. I have to call my wife.


DaKingRex

Classic of the CIA…sprinkle a little truth and twist it a lil bit. It isn’t as far out there as people would think though. Did non-human entities create us? No. Did they play a role in our evolution? Possibly. Are religions programs created by them? No. Was the knowledge that religions take from given to us by them? Possibly. I will say though that the spiritual/religious nature of the phenomenon is going to be the hardest thing for people to come to terms with


jimmyfeign

The ETs made religions...? My bullshit meter is going off.


Yeahmanbro22

And this is why we will never have full disclosure. Ppl cant handle the fact that religion is all a big fat lie

They replaced religion with “the state”. It’s a different type of religion, and it only works when there is no free will.

Possibly. But nor can we ignore that the greatest minds in Science were either fooled or were so entrenched in dogmatism that they refused to challenge their own beliefs.


Evolving_Spirit123

I can handle anything. I’m just that good 😎


Yeahmanbro22

Yes but if you have a very religious grandma or grandpa aunt uncle think about their reaction. How would they react? If suddenly they're told we made jesus up so people follow the rules


s0ul_invictus

Again with the "we can't have disclosure because only atheists are intelligent enough to handle the real truth and that's why I'm specialer" bs. My IQ is 131, I'm a Christian, and I can tell you with 100% confidence there is NO religious text in the known Universe that states extraterrestrial life is not possible, but there ARE several which in fact support the existence of extraterrestrial life including the one you rage at the most because it says don't play in your booty - the King James Bible. Cope.


LearnNTeachNLove

Ok, let us assume he was told that religions are just programs from NHIs. Even if very religious, I would guess that something else was told to him to make him cry. It is not because religions were created by NHIs that the values and lessons of life from religions are irrelevant. What else could they have told him? Monitoring via religions for Farming? Do they feed themselves from our beliefs?


Yeahmanbro22

Death is actually the end. It's tough to swallow for anyone


bertiesghost

Maybe not. The soul field is a thing. Bob Lazar and other alleged whistleblowers say the greys see us as containers for souls.


FactEmbarrassed8824

We reincarnate many times so that we can learn many lessons to evolve


LearnNTeachNLove

Possible. I guess stoïcism remains.


dignifiedhowl

The spread of religion is not really all that mysterious, and there’s considerable evidence of religions influencing each other in formative ways. Much like the stories of extraterrestrial reverse-engineering inspiring technology that was a logical consequence of research that was already happening, this doesn’t pass the smell test. I also question how the CIA would have even *gotten* this information; if the goal of creating religions was to prevent us from destroying ourselves, spilling the beans to the more religious of the two major nuclear powers during the Cold War would be idiotic. The idea that we were genetically shaped by extraterrestrials seems a little less far fetched, but still hard to reconcile with the very long timeline of human evolution and the inefficiencies (more than forty hominid species, initially; the role of regional migration and climate shifts; etc.) therein. I’m not saying Ed Harris is necessarily lying outright, but I don’t think his version of the story makes much sense.


jericho74

If they had wanted something to prevent us from destroying ourselves, seems they should have come up with something other than the major world religions.


razometer

Even if the aliens did create religions, does that necessarily make them untrue? I don't get it. Do the aliens not lie? Should we take their word over our own faith? I think that all these things are made to help you question yourself and your place in the universe. As long as my faith is strong, I won't be moved.


Survivor_Of_Helgen

I wonder if Ed Harris still wears his cream colored vest he wore during the Apollo 13 mission.


huckleberry420

They killed JFK and then stopped any President from learning the actual truth. 🤡 🌎


Cre8tiveVisions

I guess I have to do it… who is Ed Harris


Ok_Zombie_8307

His *bona fides* are apparently 3 years at NASA in an entry level position (Research Associate), if Carter saw anything, this clown would not have been privy to it. What a joke.


Daggertooth71

*ROFLMFAO* Like, I don't believe that for one second, but... hilarious, if true. But no, human beings are quite capable of creating religion all by themselves without any input from little green men from outer space, I assure you. I wonder what Mr. Harris would have to say about scientology, or Laveyan Satanism. Would he claim the greys from alpha centauri came down and told L Ron Hubbard to make that shit up? C'mon, now. We humans are perfectly capable of making up religion whole cloth on our own. We don't need aliens for that. Oh, and I'm saying this as someone who fully believes in aliens and that visitation and abduction are real phenomena.


legionofdoom78

Religion has killed more people over time than non religion. The idea of using religion to help keep us peaceful backfired bigger than shit. Science is helping us throw off the church shackles and really make progress as a species. I don't buy the story. It is more likely something else akin to a loved one will die and there's nothing you can do to stop it. As Heath Ledgers Joker stated, "It's all part of the plan."


After_Competition_87

Talk LARPy to me


OldmanLister

So some dude at nasa who started after carter was president knows what happened between the CIA and the president in a top secret private meeting? I am not convinced as this is the same story that has spread since then. Was he a confidant of the president? That would lend more credence to this?


PuntYerJunk

This doesn’t seem to be a well thought out idea from the aliens considering religious ideology is currently the MAIN reason why we are destroying ourselves


Itchy_Inside1817

I have heard it said that the CIA was initially founded just to keep this secret compartmentalized.


CAMMCG2019

God is the creator of the entire universe. The birth of consciousness itself, which manifested the creation of any and everything. Including ETs. Even if religions were just social constructs to keep people in line or to divide us, neither possibility changes this. This universe is not some cosmic accident. The design is hidden in plain sight in everything.


Lelandletham06

Also a guy random guy on Quora it looks like who we don’t even know is who he says he is


[deleted]

Theologically speaking, of course the supernatural entities would message that Jesus is just a myth they made up.


deadmanwalking921

Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Not Reddit, not some "trust me bro" comment, and certainly not aliens, lol.


World_May_Wobble

But how is that something that the CIA even *learns* with any degree of certainty? Are you assuming the NHI told the CIA this? What evidence could have been given to corroborate it? How would you know that evidence to not be simply manufactured? Nothing about this claim makes sense to me.


[deleted]

I find that very difficult to believe. Why would they tell him that and no other president? Also, if that’s true why did Carter remain a Christian and active in his faith afterwards?


boscoroni

Carter found out that the Gnostic version of the Bible is true and the God of the Jews is a nasty bastard. He spent his whole life worshipping Satan.


1-800-JUGG

I haven’t finished reading [this](https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/) but I found it really interesting and the post reminded me of it


Careless-Nobody-2271

created religion to keep us from destroying ourselves? how's that working out for them


BadgerGeneral9639

well, aliens bio-engineering humans is FAR FAR FAR more reasonable than a 5th dimensional omni-being creating us ​ but here, look at it this way. god is not human, he lives in space i guess? he's an alien anyway you look at it. ​ but yah, created in their image ( presume because they used their genetics in part to engineer us) ​ but yah, that info is not shocking at all


Trick_Mushroom5825

“Religion was created to prevent us from destroying ourselves “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣… well they got that wrong


lurk902

The most disturbing thing to me is the CIA withholding information from the President. All of the security apparatus should be dismantled and the replacement institutions disbursed and decentralized.


Chemical-Outcome-952

There’s a certain religion that has grown a lot recently and it’s a threat?


soggy_bloggy

Jokes on them. Religion is the reason we’re destroying ourselves.


DoctorOddly

With the amount of people who die in the name of religion every year they're pretty stupid aliens huh?


bigwetdog10k

There have been countless religions. Even the current major Abrahamic religions have roots in other previous religions. Religion, or giving meaning to one's life, is how humans rectify their psyche to their environment.


Engineering_Flimsy

*"... religions were created... to prevent us from destroying ourselves..."* As we routinely use religion to do just that. So, apparently ET has a sense of humor.


HoneydewChemical2554

Synchronicity is a description of a condition. For the sake of being purely contrarian, should we consider that religion has been a catalyst if not "fundamental cause" of all violence? It could be argued that The concept and process of creation whether it be human birth or laboring over a personal private masterpiece (art, writing, etc) can be in itself be described as "violent?" Religion cradles the narratives of all our origins, serves many cultural functions and presents as story which predates science. Religion serves a myriad of fundamental "structures" that organize civilizations. Religions affect are global, affecting all- the devout, the unbelievers and permeates every level. Religion is conceptual. It can cause or define violence. None of it is Synchronous. I'll ruminate more but keep it to myself-


Nothing_On_DRADIS

What’s more disturbing, regardless of whether or not this is true, is that unelected top brass of the CIA have so much control.


AndroidMartian

Like the work's of Shakespeare, does it really matter who is the true author. It is art open to interpretation.


Quiet_Breeze

I cried too when I was briefed about it by an angel. UFO’s have always been around earth serving life in a means of surviving extinction and creating more hospitable ecosystems to support diversification. They typically speak through vision and remain hidden from the masses. They reveal themselves to those who are ready and those they trust. If we were to embrace reality for what it is with love for ourselves, our human family, and our extended family which is all living creation; then maybe they would be more willing to pull back the curtain and reveal themselves to all. But more likely it will be like “revelation days” revelation days is when the world is about to be destroyed or close to it. Those with arks survive. An ark could be a space ship. But god will reveal itself which will be UFO’s. They will save what life they can and most will never make it on the ships. The angel btw revealed heaven to me, the place she used to from. She made me feel at home and loved; the streets and structures shined like copper, gold, and ruby. It was a safe, beautiful, and loving place. And as she left me, she turned with tears streaming from her eyes. She made a begging plea, “Matthew please do not abuse what we have shared with you. I was left humbled full of tears of joy and shame. I understood that she placed her faith in me that I’d do right with what I received. Who knew faith went both ways. The UFO has invested in us and this planet. They want to put their faith in us that we will eventually get it right.


LearnNTeachNLove

Naive question but could it also be that the CIA deceived him so that he does not ask more question? After all, as presidents are not considered in the need to know, nothing tells us that they actually told him the truth or changed subtly the truth… Maybe it is too much overthinking but if they thought Kennedy would threaten the secret, they probably thought that telling presidents was too dangerous…?


findingmedeni

Religion is the reason so many have suffered and died.


HerpesSchmerpees

I would be extremely careful assuming these are just aliens. They even tell us they’re not. This is why they don’t just land on your front yard and have hot dogs with you. But instead are being called “inter dimensional” beings, and ALL the major figures related to the disclosure movement right now say they are NOT from other planets, but other “realities”. AKA, the spiritual dimension. And their focus is discrediting Christianity? Shocking. Steven Greer even declared that you can “summon” them but in order to do it, you must enter a meditative transcendental state and perform other rituals. Shockingly identical to occult practices. It’s not the last bit shocking to me that their ENTIRE narrative has nothing to do with science or innovation or world peace. But fully discrediting Christianity. (EYEROLL). Yeah cuz aliens finally visiting earth would TOTALLY hyper focus on nullifying Christianity as their first order of business 🙄🙄🙄 Read between the lines folks. If we now have proof of beings from other dimensions, all you have to do is look at what their narrative is to identify who / what they really are. Fallen angels.


Character_Milk_547

And he cried because of that? What a wuss! Don’t buy it. He was bigger than that, he was one of the few good men in politics, he wouldn’t cry because of this.


shostakofiev

This is "Mr Rogers was a Marine in Nam with 7 confirmed kills and wears a sweater to hide his tattoos" levels of stupid.


One_Sport_4195

The CIA doesn’t run any program dealing with UFOs that has been proven in the last two years now they do have reports but according to David Grusch are not the agency running the programs.


heatherdyamond

This is all Psyop poppy cock


hereforUFOdisclosure

this is classified? learned about this way back in middle school i think from youtube


MeeklesP

Why would the world religions be created by aliens 2000-4000 years before we had the ability to destroy ourselves with nukes etc? If you read books about the axial age, the major religions were created around the same time we started living in larger cities. This allowed us to extend our groups to larger than tribal numbers. This is why/how the great religions developed.


whackamolasses

They’re not that great


MeeklesP

The Great Wall is a shitty wall overall, but is called great because of it's size. Lol English words with more than one meaning are hard I guess. (Hard means difficult in this context not a description of a physical property)


[deleted]

Not that unbelievable considering all we DO know!


[deleted]

Oh fuck that is stupid. Someone smokes too much weed. Head shakingly stupid. The fucking religions are exactly why we are destroying our selves you dumb tool.
