It seems so bizarre and strange for someone to even be looking for Bigfoot in the first place. I never have believed in any of those myths or the mythical creatures that interest the minds of so many people. It boggles my mind to know that men were out in the woods hunting for Bigfoot, let alone that in the act, one of the hunters shot one of his friends. It may be true that most religious people do not believe in such mythical creatures, spooky stories, and haunted houses because as a Christian, I believe in none of it and think its nonsense.
Getting past the event, which does boggle my mind, that took place in Rodgers County, Oklahoma, where three men went hunting for Bigfoot and one of the fellow hunters got shot accidentally. If it is possible to think past that event, lets think of what even made these men believe that there was such a mythical creature in the first place and what made them go out and hunt for one. I would assume that these men did not have much practice for any religion and probably did not believe in one God. It is also understandable to believe that all humans want an answer to questions. If there isn't an answer to a certain and interesting question, then one would probably imagine an answer, an answer that is interesting and cool. It seems that these men went out to hunt for Bigfoot because they were interested in catching such rare game, but there are many other aspects that could be filled in for their actions. They could have wanted to become famous, rich, special, or could have just been mentally insane. Mentally insane may be a good answer to the question, for these men could have answered the question, of why one of the fellow hunters were shot, with a simple answer of, "it was an accident." Instead much more investigation went into the incident and unanswered actions appeared to be suspicious.
I personally believe in none of the mythical creatures and myths that roam the Internet and the minds of so many individuals. Maybe the event that took place was an attempt of murder that was blamed on a hunt for a mythical creature. I do not think it is crazy to say that, for three men were out in Oklahoma looking to hunt Bigfoot. I'm going to leave with the question of, "Was the event that took place in Rodgers County, Oklahoma an attempt of murder, or actually a hunt for Bigfoot?"
Your question is something I thought of as well. Is Bigfoot just a scapegoat for 3 men to attempt to get away with murder? Or are these men really that incompetent? It's saddening that they came to attain firearms because obviously they are extremely irresponsible and now they're facing the charges that they seemingly deserve. I wonder if myths and the ideas of creatures like Bigfoot will ever go away.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a coverup, but then again the man is expected to survive, so it will come out if this is the case. We will see. But the point about religion is indeed an interesting one. I found it intriguing that believers who do not attend church regularly were the most prone to these other types of belief. Maybe this means that it is those who have a tendency to believe, but in whom it is not disciplined by an institution, that we find this most frequently.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that because of your religion you dismiss the possibility of monsters like bigfoot. It goes hand in hand with what the researchers at Baylor discovered. I have always entertained the idea of these creatures existing simply because it entertained me, so I like hearing a more thought out approach to the topic.
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point regarding how the belief of Bigfoot and religion relate. It does seem that most people who do not affiliate themselves with a religion do in fact get sucked into these traps. These people are making illogical decisions to be a part of this mysterious search, and they are losing money doing it. It's astounding how the businesses, who sell merchandise of these mythological creatures and give tours to "not see" anything, somehow make money. People, in general, need to stop being so gullible.
ReplyDeleteI like how you describe your personal views on the issue then take a look at why these 3 men did what they were doing. I think from the beginning these individuals were doing something they should have not been doing and that is why it is confusing. In cases sush as these, coming forward early is always the best way to go. The more you hide, the more guilty you look.
