My Mom came by this afternoon, and we ended up at the kitchen table debating her religion, and my lack thereof, over our coffee. My 11 year old (whom I’d thought was having his attention span eaten alive by a video game) unexpectedly joined the conversation. “Stop arguing, you’re BOTH way off.” Elaborate little man, this is a debate between a Christian and an Atheist - there’s no way we could BOTH be wrong. LOL Now this came straight out of the mouth of an 11 year old…
“Mom, you’re right about Heaven and Hell and the Bible… no such place and the book is just a great story. Grand Violet, you’re right about a Higher Power, there really is one and it's kinda like a God. But you’re BOTH wrong on what that power is, and how the world is gonna end. ALIENS. Duh! The religious people are all going to keep their faith in a big God coming back to take them all to Heaven. And you guys, scientists and people real good at math, are going to know better. The Anti-Christ is gonna be like a Nobel Peace Prize winner or something, a guy who knows all along this great power is actually the Aliens. He’ll get real famous and a lot of people will believe him. Our Government will probably even believe him. Anyway, he’ll tell everyone to fight against these Aliens when they come. But Christians will tell everyone to pray and stuff and be ready to go to Heaven when they get here. This will cause all kinds of wars and stuff between the people, because no one will really know for sure positive until the sky opens up and something comes down. The Aliens will scoop up all the humans, because their experiment with them is done. And the Christians will just stand there, not try to run or anything. But the other people who knew better will try to fight. Nothing we got will be strong enough, not even a nuclear bomb. Because Aliens have way better stuff than we do. But the Aliens will see that when the people use their weapons, all they really did was waste the planet. The Aliens will then kinda laugh at them and fly away. There’s no sense in killing them off, even though they could, because after what they done to their planet - they won’t live long anyway. A better punishment for them would be letting them die slowly on the planet they wasted. So BOTH you guys are wrong.”
For once my Mother and I were in complete agreement and said in unison…
NO MORE video games for YOU young’un! LOL
(I've heard this theory before - just not from an 11 year old. )
