What a friend had to listen to when talking to her cousin's UberFreeper husband
A friend of mine was visiting her father in Nashville and went to a family party where her cousins and relatives were there.

Her cousin is a reborn Christian as well as her family members. Nothing wrong with that.

Her cousin's son was recently fired for questionable behavior as an accountant for some Baptist mega-church in Arkansas. The cousin's son's wife is a "professional prayer giver" at the same mega-church he was fired from. Her cousin's husband, an unemployed, injured Vietnam veteran, is a diehard Palin supporter and was wearing a "Sarah 2012" t-shirt at the party. He also had this to say to my friend when she mentioned she had been to DC for the inauguration.

Apparently, according to this guy, there are at least 500 space aliens arriving on the planet monthly and they are fitting into society seamlessly. Since the World is going to end in 2012, they are getting ready to take over the planet. He has seen visions and shares them with his son and daughter-in-law (accountant and professional prayer giver). The space alien saga is "on a lot of Vet sites on the internet". He has been approached by people who say that they have been watching him for thirty years and want him to join them... they are satanic and want him to stop believing in God.

Now for the funny part, as if that wasn't enough.

According this guy, Obama is a space alien. As people like the Holocaust Nazi Van Brunn believe, "there are no official records of Obama" that are public. Obama is part of the eventual takeover of space aliens in 2012 when the End Times happen "because the Jews..." When asked if Obama is the Anti-Christ, "no, he is more powerful than that".

Wow, more powerful than the Anti-Christ? That's like... powerful! :crazy:



Oh...and the End Times and 2012. He's for Sarah Palin to run in 2012 because she will help bring him and all the "Believers" to Heaven because Alaska is near the top of the Earth and that's where God will be first.

I asked my friend how he was speaking when he was telling her all this crap. She said it was in a low, almost tranquil voice, as though he had repeated it all many times and had shared it with other people in some little town in Arkansas, where they all live.

These people look "normal". No funny clothes, no strange facial contortions... they walk among us all. I can only think how dreadful it must feel to actually believe that stuff and try to get through a day.

If I had been there, I would have said "excuse me, but I have to go back to Planet Earth..."

3. Indeed...
He's probably not on his meds. Sounds like the old phrase "an idle mind is the Devil's playground"... or maybe it's space aliens!

27. This paranoid story is quite widespread.
To me, it sounds like they saw John Carpenter's "They Live" one time too many.

8. Confabulation.
Put together a bunch of non-related issues with imagined facts and created a narrative he could believe in.

All invented in his head.

13. I don't think this guy is the only one thinking this stuff
It sounded like he gets this stuff from other people at his church and the net.

It sure would make for a cool documentary... enough time before 2012 to get it produced...

6. A minister speaking at Palin's church also said Christ will appear in Alaska first
During the campaign they show clips of services are her church. Of course the media didn't focus on this.

16. If I really believed in AntiChrist (or something even more powerful)
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be talking shit about him!

Seriously, I hope the guy is able to get some help. Gotta wonder if the 2012 hysteria will be more than Y2K

It is also sad is that his wife and family have not tried to get him psychiatric help.

26. I have my suspicions about 2012 (No Aliens)
But even if his dear Sarah won in 2012, she wouldn't take office till 2013 and we will all be gone by then. 12/21/2012 is before 01/20/13. And if 2012 does come true, just think of all the Christmas money we would save. LOL!

28. And did he claim the "liberul media"
hasn't put out a good documentary since "Men in Black" and "Men In Black II"?

Honestly, sounds to me as if the fundies are trying to establish a 'working alliance' with the Scientologists just as they are with the Jewish community in an effort to bring about their second coming.

30. We got a variation of that in Catholic school. Since Jesus and Mary kept
their bodies after they supposedly died, they walk among us along with Angels who have taken human bodies while they are messing with our heads here on the earthly plane.

39. Fabulous. We also got filled with a regular diet of saints who had the stigmata,
who didn't eat, who could practice bi-location, levitation and any other number of "miracles".

33. That's pretty far out.
I had a guy talk to me in that same quiet voice at a party about the 100-lane highway being built out west ("I don't think it's actually 100 lanes," his girlfriend commented skeptically) and the new Amero currency we'll all be using and that whole thing, but jeez your story blows that away totally.

Space aliens? Really?

36. I'm sure the fellow knows about the 100-lane highway story...
..after all, space aliens like a nice big runway...

I've heard something about that story with a Mike Malloy caller once, I think. It's an uber-NAFTA highway and we would give up on the dollar and move to reeducation camps where they.... you know the drill...
