Tom DeLonge – His Religion

When DeLonge was a child he grew up in a household that was of mixed spiritual faith. DeLonge’s mother was a practicing Christian, while his father was an atheist. (1)

In his adult life, Tom DeLonge seems to have mixed his belief in God or Jesus Christ with his belief in UFO aliens and extraterrestrials, linking the two together in a fashion:

1. If you believe in Jesus, then you believe in a man with an army of glowing, flying Angelic beings created our Solar System and they together fight little green demons.

By the way, no shits fired at religion, but under Blink-182 rule 101: All are equally a target for a good laugh

Tom DeLonge – Belief in UFOs

DeLonge has a strong belief in the existence of a non-human intelligence with a presence here on Earth. “I’ve always been interested in this subject, but once people know that the UFO phenomenon is real and what it’s actually doing and what we’re doing, I think people are going to become as obsessed over it as I’ve been.” (2)

He has stated that this presence could be aliens from another world, or something else that currently is beyond our scientific level of understanding. DeLonge compared the sightings of UFOs to when tribes in remote parts of the world, who have never encountered outside modern civilization, see aircraft flying over them in the sky. These primitive tribes could believe these aircraft to be gods and then begin worshiping them as deities.

“Whether it is Joseph Smith meeting an angel and forming the Mormon religion, or it’s the star of Bethlehem or light hovering over a manger,” DeLonge once said, “what happens is, is people see these things and they create religions off of them. We wanted to say, ‘Well, hey, we are all some form of a cargo cult.’ The question is, why?” (1)

DeLonge also feels that the UFOs that people spot in the sky are both of alien origin as well as manmade.

“It’s both. The UFO phenomenon is complex. A lot of people think it’s the tinfoil-hat crowd and little green men in flying saucers. A lot of these things are manmade and a lot of these things that are so astounding to people that may have seen something in the sky and they go, ‘Oh my god, that’s definitely alien.'” (2)
