That's right, today is a particularly weird one as Connor digs up one of the more niche areas of modern religiosity, in the form of "UFO religions". Joe, Sam, and Nye offer up their thoughts on questions like "Why do people join cults and believe in aliens?" and "what makes religions legitimate?". From Melanesian cargo cults to Jediism and from Scientology to the Universal Church of the New World Comforter, we discuss all kinds of bizarre religions, strange cultural movements, and dangerous cults.
As it was a sunny Spring morning and perfect barbeque weather, we left the window open... with no concern for our listeners. So we hope you like traffic, planes, and seagulls.
Here is an article written by Connor which explores the religious nature of UFO movements: https://twobeersuntilphronesis.weebly...
