I'm curious how religious people will act. Especially if the NHI is a civilization that has been observing us for millennia.

Growing up in a world of fundies, I can almost guarantee it'll be a lot of "IT'S DEMONS. THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO TRICK YOU!" Outside of that world, I expect a lot more logic and reason. I hope, anyway.

I think religion is one of the primary reasons that we haven't had disclosure to this point, as frankly it cannot continue to exist afterward. I'm already experiencing a good amount of ontological shock -- imagine how those cults like Elevation will react. These people truly only behave because they believe some creator is watching them. There will be blood in the streets when they realize that's not true.

Funny thing is, there are a lot of reports from experiencers that there really is a non-material world out there, and a creator of some sort, and the NHI here are well aware of that. You have to go into the occult/new age/woo side of the phenomenon to get that perspective, but it's pretty firmly established in "the lore".

No one knows how official first contact with NHI is going to go, if it even happens. I'm just saying don't assume this will be the death of religion because there is plenty of hearsay out there that claims the exact opposite.

I think it's going to be hilarious if NHI show up and want to proselytize to us.
