UFO Religions
The Horrific Fruits of “Direct ET” Revelations

“The final objective is death, because God is the god of life, while Satan is the god of death. How many suicides are inspired by the devil! Even mass suicides are inspired by Satan.” —Exorcist Fr. Gabriele Amorth
In dealing with the religions and sects in our other articles, we saw examples of “revelations” that were generally not regarded as from extraterrestrials, but rather revelations which spoke about them.
When we shift our focus to consider just a few of the avalanche of explicit “UFO religions” that have arisen, particularly in the last 75 years since Roswell, we see the expressly diabolical nature of what is transpiring even less veiled. The proliferation of such “religions” demonstrates that the Ufology and ET belief atmosphere in the modern world is intrinsically religious (intrinsically perversely “religious,” to be precise).
As all who diligently study the matter discover, UFOs are simply contemporary Westerner’s replacement for Christianity. Dr. W. Michael Ashcraft, after a lengthy study on the matter, concluded: .
..alien experiences point to the emotional and cognitive terrain conventionally called religious... According to contactees, aliens described the cosmos in terms resembling those of Theosophy, a nineteenth-century movement that combined occultic with Eastern religious ideas. The messages that contactees conveyed to the public had religious or quasi-religious overtones, and included information on humanity’s place in the universe, the guiding principles that all advanced civilizations beyond the earth subscribed to, and the possibilities for humanity’s spiritual transformation...[By the 1970s], UFO advocates became part of a larger paranormal milieu. ... What many educated observers at the time failed to appreciate was the growing religiosity of this phenomenon. A sense of life’s larger purpose was ever-present among occult participants. They were fascinated by, and deeply respected, the mystery that lurked around the edges of our known world...these people were doing what religious people had always done...[301]
Nowhere else does one discover a similar degree of sudden proliferation of religions dedicated to a prevailing cultural theme as one finds in ET belief. As much as one could point out problematic degrees of fixation with various cultural trends, one at least would not find an explosion of full-blown religions dedicated to, for example, the Beatles, or baseball, or airplane travel.
When it comes to UFOs, however, they might as well be prophets wielding thunderbolts. Whatever these phenomena are, one thing is beyond doubt: they are intrinsically religious happenings. All who study the matter have recognized that. (What too few recognize is that any presentation of an alternative religion is intrinsically diabolical, even if we leave aside consideration of the diabolical fruits UFO religions always generate.)
In a word, extraterrestrial-related matters are not merely cultural trends to be considered psychologically or sociologically. They are decidedly religious phenomena which must be discerned spiritually. And whoever is tempted to place any doubts upon the certainty of the outcome of that discernment process will have that temptation removed upon reading the upcoming sections.
