The alien part didn’t even sound crazy it felt symbolic. Like even if something huge happened, I’m not sure it would wake us up anymore. We’re so used to distractions and constant drama that serious things just fade into the background.
I don’t know if we’ll ever fully get tired of it, but I do think some people are starting to see through the noise. Maybe change doesn’t start loud. Maybe it starts quietly, with people just paying more attention.
Jesus could return (if he ever existed) and no one would care, least of all the Christians.
