Summary

UFO researcher and religious scholar David Halperin returns to talk about his recent columns about UFOs and the Bible, including the theories that ancient man was visited by beings from outer space. He continues to focus on his theory that UFOs are a myth, manifestations of a collective unconscious, and not physical spaceships from other planets. Back in the 1960s, David was a teenage UFO investigator. Later he became a professor of religious studies — his specialty, religious traditions of heavenly ascent. From 1976 through 2000, David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He’s the author of five non-fiction books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, the coming-of-age novel Journal of a UFO Investigator, and Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO.

0:05.0	You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
0:28.1	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:32.4	You know, in the old days, we used to get promotional emails for porn sites and things like that now maybe randall
0:41.2	doesn't see this from canada invariably i see promotions for food delivery services like
0:47.4	doordash and postmates and uber eats and they each will give me their free delivery.
0:57.8	I have a $30 coupon from Uber Eats.
1:00.1	So if I ever order for delivery,
1:03.5	rather than have to go to the restaurant and endanger my life because half the people aren't wearing masks,
1:06.2	then I can say.
1:08.3	But then the trick is that in addition to the cost of the food, which is often higher for delivery services, because they had to pay a part of it to the delivery service, you then have to pay a delivery charge.
1:21.8	So the $30 savings may not be much of a savings.
1:26.1	So David Halper, being that you live in North Carolina,
1:29.5	do you have food delivered to you? Do you just cook or what? No, we go out and shop and cook.
1:37.3	Do you like bagels? I love bagels. So does Gene. He's got like this really great bagel place

1:47.0	Do you get really good bagels where you are in North Carolina, David?
1:51.0	Yeah, we've got Brugers and they do a really good job. But since the pandemic started, I've been shy about going in there. And I just pick up, I think it's Thomas bagels when I do the grocery shopping.
2:07.2	Thomas has really good cinnamon raisin bagels.
2:10.6	A lot of the bagels, cinnamon raisin that you get from the delis, they don't include enough raisins.
