There are UFO's. All are just something Unidentified and Flying. It is the beliefs about what they contain that is the problem.

Of course. There are unidentified objects of all kinds. What I'm referring to is the subcultural view that began in the late 1940s and is based around "flying saucers" and humanoid extraterrestrials that allegedly operate them as interplanetary, interstellar and "interdimensional" vehicles.

It's worth clarifying. UFO is as big a blank as GOD, and generates as much pure speculation.

I think we can learn a lot about early Mormonism by studying the first 20 years of the UFO phenomena and by studying the career of Uri Geller.

All religions are pretty strange when viewed by the outsider. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to believe in 20 or no Gods. It neither breaks my leg of picks my pocket.

True if allowed to be in contact with people not of their belief. Though I don't know how we could enforce such a quarantine.
