So… in reading the article, it seems he suggest the government is using religion to manipulate people into forgetting about all the aliens they’re hiding.
So, not so much with the sanity.
Whew! For a second there, I was worried that I agreed with Aaron Rogers.
I thought maybe Aaron Rogers finally found the correct cocktail of meds to make him sane
It did seem like a reasonable statement until the article summed up the stupid.
This should absolutely be the top comment. Holy shit, Rodgers is such a fucking moron
Congrats on him getting his first coherent thought. Hopefully he gets a few more
“Suggests”
Freezing cold take
“Freezing”? This take is so cold that upon uttering it hydrogen condenses into a 0-viscosity liquid.
I don’t usually agree with this guy, but on this one, I do agree.
The article makes it clear that what he means is that The Government is using Religion to manipulate people into not noticing all the extraterrestrial life that they have access to.
I wouldn’t agree with that sentiment.
Wait, do I actually agree with Aaron Rogers on something?
(Reads AngryCommieKender’s clarification.)
Nope, false alarm!
Whoaaa hey hold on, I agree with this completely. The U.S. Government does use religion to coerce and convince millions that their way is the correct way.
It just doesn’t involve aliens…yet.
Well…it does, just not the type we’re talking about. Cause if you’re Right, you’re right apparently.
I’m going off the title, I don’t care enough about rodgers to read the article, but, now that you say that, I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s a clown.
I have a feeling everyone is missing this crucial bit of context.
Congratulations 🎉
It’s always nice to see people start using the reasoning part of their brain. Let’s hope he doesn’t fall back into his old routines
Well, duh.
Here’s a thing: so are sports.
You can play sports and not be manipulating people.
You cannot lead a church and not be manipulating people, even if unwittingly.
That’s a false comparison. You can’t lead anything without, to a point, manipulating people. You can manipulate them transparently and for their benefit, or you are manipulating them for your own. The people who lead and run sports leagues are definitely not doing it out of a sense of charity.
Plenty of churchgoers and even pastors are in it to serve people with no real personal benefit. The same can’t be said of professional sports players.
At some point in an ecclesiastical hierarchy someone is manipulating people for their own benefit, knowing they’re doing so. They profess miracles while knowing there are none.
Above a certain level all you’ll find are charlatans.
The only religions that do not operate like this are unaffiliated churches, mystical, or nontheistic religions like Buddhism, Jainism etc.
If you profess a god and have a hierarchical structure your leaders manipulate you for their own gain or prestige. They do not believe.

Thanks Ric! And now, Kelly Andrews with the weather. How’s global warming going, Kelly?
SHIT’S GONNA HAIL!
Thanks Ollie
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE! That’s all it has ever been. It’s used to hold power over people by preying on their fear of the unknown.
Naw, not only manipulation. It’s also poor man’s philosophy. Humans like to have an answer for the big questions wether they know wtf they’re saying or not. I think something like religion is inevitable with the absence of explanations.

Yea, the Prosperity Gospel is definitely richboi propaganda.
Can You bring it down a notch. We’re all right here.
Is this 1/2 of his broken clock? *
Broken clock
Amazingly smart for an American “football” player.
On the one hand, i love to see people questioning their mythology; on the other its nice of you to join us in the modern world, Aaron
Goddamn does this headline bury the lede or what?
Lmao… right???
Rodgers is known for his belief in alien life and in the supernatural. During his interview with Carlson, he suggested that the government knows of the existence of these beings, but keeps them from public knowledge and could be using religion to manipulate people’s thinking
I mean with all the shit that world governments are constantly pulling it really wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
Like whistleblowers disappear all the time or are labeled crazy people.
Imagine a govt employee suddenly ranting and raving about aliens or extra dimensional beings. Even if he had proof it wouldn’t be hard for the govt to make him look like a crackpot or make it seem like he had a mental breakdown.
Edit: Y’all I’m not saying I actually believe this shit just that I wouldn’t be surprised.
CIA sold crack…what else does the govt need to do to convince us they will do anything.
Kinda surprised that something sane tumbled out of his mouth.
edit: apparently, it wasn’t as sane as the headline made it sound, lol
He’s going so crazy he accidentally lapped around to sane for a minute
