Kinda surprised that something sane tumbled out of his mouth.

edit: apparently, it wasn't as sane as the headline made it sound, lol

A broken clock is right twice a day

But he isn’t right nearly that often, lol

HonkTonkWoman ,

He has managed not to expose himself to any reporters, so far. For whatever that’s worth.

I guess that means he’s still outperforming his predecessor, but… wtf.. Green Bay? That’s twice?

Kinda makes you wonder what fuckery Fields will bring to the table.

He's actually worse than a broken clock. Even twice a day when he manages to be right, he's wrong - because he's so phenomenally stupid.

You might wanna check the clock

This clock has spirograph shapes instead of hands.

It wasn't actually sane. It was batshit crazy. The headline was really working overtime to tone it down into a rational thought.

“That gets in the whole other idea about religion being as a way to control people, control thought maybe, which is pretty wild. But disclosure, I think needs to happen. It’s going to be interesting to see how it happens, where it happens.

“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”

I stand corrected

Cryophilia ,

He's going so crazy he accidentally lapped around to sane for a minute

So... in reading the article, it seems he suggest the government is using religion to manipulate people into forgetting about all the aliens they're hiding.

So, not so much with the sanity.

SPRUNT ,

Whew! For a second there, I was worried that I agreed with Aaron Rogers.

Cryophilia ,

I thought maybe Aaron Rogers finally found the correct cocktail of meds to make him sane

Itdidnttrickledown ,

It did seem like a reasonable statement until the article summed up the stupid.

metallic_substance ,

This should absolutely be the top comment. Holy shit, Rodgers is such a fucking moron

Religion is the opium for the masses. Nothing new here, really.

Zorque ,

*opiate

MxM111 ,
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

What’s the difference? Serious question.

Noel_Skum ,

Opiates include artificially lab-constructed products that are based off of the opium that comes from poppies.

MxM111 ,
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

So, opium was fine?

Noel_Skum ,

Yeah. Pretty much. The original quote by Marx would’ve been in German I assume - which might make a difference. Looking at the US’s painkiller problems “opiate” is possibly more relevant. It’s a negligible difference either way. (Unless a linguist knows better)

MxM111 ,
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

I suspect back then, when original quote was created, most, if not all, opium accessible to the public was natural and not a synthetic opiate. To translate it to opiate is likely incorrect then. That's why I was a bit confused by correction "opiate".

Noel_Skum ,

Historically speaking I imagine that’s true. I’m not sure why anyone felt the need to “correct” the word in the first place. Especially if it transpires they did so incorrectly…

Melkath , to Not The Onion in Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Suggests Religion Is Used To Manipulate People

Please.

Farve ended up being a steaming pile of shit.

Let Rodgers be an ok dude.

This claim keeps him an ok dude.

Please keep it there.

almar_quigley ,

I’ve got some bad news for you…

ProIsh ,

I'm sorry to hear about the coma you've been in for the last 8 years. Hopefully you have a quick recovery!

Melkath ,

I left behind sportsball well over 8 years ago...

I won't look it up, but I'm guessing not good things have surfaced since.

Edit: also, referencing this guy as a QB suggests its not the guy who the QB sneak G.O.A.T. when I stopped paying attention to sportsball and the Packers where decidedly the best team in the institution.

rebelsimile ,

last time I was hanging out outside the book place where they had the page thingies, those wordnerds couldn’t take how goddamned edgy and cool I was when I told them that I couldn’t care less about their treelines, lol at them right??

metallic_substance ,

If you stopped following sports 8 (fucking 8!) years ago, why the fuck are you here making hopeful comments about Rodgers?

njm1314 ,

That ship sailed long ago buddy.

Jesus, because aliens. Got it

Mango , to Not The Onion in Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Suggests Religion Is Used To Manipulate People

So do I. It's just news because this guy throws a ball real good?

...and the government could be hiding the existence of alien life because it would change the way people view religion and threaten this control.

I feel like the headline was leaving out the main idea he was getting at.

Maeve , to Not The Onion in Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Suggests Religion Is Used To Manipulate People

He's not wrong about that.

Dorkyd68 , to Not The Onion in Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Suggests Religion Is Used To Manipulate People

I mean fucking duh. But honestly who gives af what he has to sy?
