Default Re: Dear Kerry and Bill do you believe everything?

King Lear I didn't find your post rude, I actually found it to be an intelligent question.
Like any topic regarding "beliefs" people get highly defensive when their beliefs feel threatened. Doesn't matter if it is religion or aliens. I feel this is why so many people fall into a defensive trap. They feel like they have it worked out they believe whom they believe and how dare we question anything. Same old stuff just a new religion. I tend to keep an open mind and prefer my own gut to someones else's intuition or psychic connection to some off world being.
To me following the predictions of "some person" is no more intelligent then following the bible. It is just another sheeple movement. Be it blindly following your government, religion or alien expert it all ends in the same you are being controlled by someone else's idea's.
I welcome all the interviews because it spurs my imagination and adds to the level of "what if's" in my little personal universe but I sure as heck am not going to pack my family up and move closer to the equator. Oddly enough my gut instincts says that would be a crazy thing to do and my gut has never wronged me in my short 31 years of life so I prefer it over someone else's assessment of the situation.
I am sure this will be considered highly offensive to most just like any cliches belief were doubt or questioning are considered to be go against the herd. But then I never have been one to fit into a herd very well myself.
King Lear thanks for the blunt to the point question, it's refreshing to find someone who doesn't worry about niceties.
