Let me know if you kinda get what I'm saying. I'll try and think of a better way to phrase it.

lets twist this whole thing on its head. if they drank the koolaid (which has ironically become part of the english language) they knew that they weren't going to physically walk onto some sort of space ship. however, religious people, myself included, tend to believe in supranatural, metaphysical, spiritual realms and existences, where the physical is irrelevant. that being said, who is to say these people were so deceived, in the sense of, who is to say they were looking to board some sort of physical space craft to begin with? further, they not being here to explain, who is to say they did not make it such a space craft, even if only in some sort of spiritual sense. after all, billions of people live and die believing there is much more to it all, and could we as the human race in general, be
that wrong?
