Beliefs Are Only Crazy If They Don’t Catch On

About 2,000 years ago there were as many people who believed in the story of Christ’s resurrection as believe in the Reptilian conspiracy today. I don’t mean to equate the two, but a troubling percentage of ultra-conservative Christians are also open to the idea of a Reptilian conspiracy, the notion that the famous and powerful are really lizards in human skin.

Out of the dozens of Reptilian conspiracy people I’ve spoken with, all have been self-described conservative Christians. Most aren’t open about their beliefs because they know how odd some of it sounds to the unenlightened. They see themselves as persecuted in the way early Christians were persecuted for their own odd beliefs.

I think Christ himself said it best:

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. — Matthew 5:11

I recently had the opportunity to speak with a conservative Christian who believes Reptiles may be among us. He’s not convinced, but he is open to the possibility.

This young man invited me on to his podcast, Lizard News Network, ostensibly to talk about my book, Dragged Into the Light
