To be fair (here and elsewhere) I'd allow a rational Sitchinite have his say (I'd like to say those don't exist, but I've met a few that SEEM rational anyway). @RRRGroup: Your “everything” line in the comment isn’t sound logic (you exclude middle options), but I know you’re not trying to make a logical point.

But really, one has to separate the wheat from the chaff, and us ignorant types need someone like you to do that for us. If you provide a kind of imprimatur to such stuff, as Joe Jordan offers, we find ourselves asea. Everything is grist or nothing is grist for discussion. Or maybe a few things are, and few things aren't. I believe that prayer can be efficacious and maybe abductees have been "saved" by calling out to Jesus, or Mary, of God Himself. But the matter is so subjective that it eludes ratiocination. Rich (RRR) Michael:

I'm surprised as h*ll that you stoke the fires of these evangelical nuts. The aspects of God and religion, especially the Church of Rome, are transcendental, and mystical in ways that are almost incomprehensible. But those guys, in that MP3 dreck, take the holy-roller approach to the Jesus mystery and demean it with their hokey interpretation and application to the UFO abduction scenarios. This isn't grist for academics or anyone with a scintilla of intellectual acumen. That stuff merely clutters the discussion and adds to the laugh-factor that UFOs, abductions, and religion engenders among truly thoughtful persons. Rich (RRR) Holy cow, Michael…
