What happens when the aliens come and demand that they be worshiped? What if they set-up a religion in their name?
What if they're Muslims? Quoting: mathetes
If they come wearing towels on their heads I guess we will know |

I'll just answer it for you.
MAN! Not a single shred of evidence to sway the bar otherwise. So go ahead and call my faith ludicrous, ridiculous, idiocy, and flat out stupid. Know that while you call it that, it directly reflects on your faith as well. |

That is until you see that the so called aliens are subject to spiritual authority, and I have all power and authority over them in Jesus name. That will be a hoot for the "destruction of religion" wouldn't it.
It would turn every world power into a theocracy. Just like the Bible predicted in it's prophecy. funny eh? |

Seriously, after 2000+ yrs this is the argument that you have? We're going to question the purity of scripture.
You have some nerd making sci-fi posts on a blog, the guy was born in 1980 and your willing to put your chips there, all the while telling me I'm nuts for believing in a book with 40 different contributors over a span of 1600 years which maintains it's message. |

Only religions that imagine humans as the center of creation will be affected by alien contact.
I don't see how buddhism would be affected (unless the aliens exterminate us all :P). It would be a fine opportunity to compare notes. |

Not true.
I have yet to find a verse in the Bible which states, in absolute terms, that there is no intelligent life on other planets. Oh, I've heard Christians use the verse that says that Eve "was the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20); however, this verse doesn't address aliens. Every Christian will readily admit that the Biblical Eve was not the mother of all living things, since she did not beget worms and birds and cattle and fishes. Therefore when the Bible says Eve was the mother of “all living” those words could mean no more than that Eve was the mother of all humans, which would be defined as those men and woman which now inhabit this Earth The mere fact that Eve was the mother of all Earthlings does not in any way preclude intelligent life on other planets.
About ten-fifteen years ago I read where Christian leaders were asked what would happen to their faith if aliens were discovered. Their response was that the alien presence would not contradict the Bible, and they would be able to explain the existence of extraterrestrials to their congregations.
Although some Christians may presently deny the existence of aliens, the craft, the ingenuity, the cunning of the pulpit is such that almost anything can be sold to the faithful believing masses, and in this case the shrewdness of the evangelist may be a good thing. Although I am a Bible basher, I fully recognize the importance of a belief in something other then this drab, painful and often meaningless existence. I would hate to see such beliefs shattered since they are beneficial and might, in the final analysis, be right.
Bottom line: There is no conflict whatsoever between Christianity and the existence of extraterrestrials. And that's a very good thing. |

They will be subject to the Creator of All That is, same as we all are. They will see Jesus as just a local figure, a man who was made into a God by a certain religious faction. |

you have your opinion. lol.
how about this:
when the aliens land (after they fight it out with the grey fuks), they will EXPLAIN RELIGION. it's origin, it's purpose and what it means. They will explain that the greys worked hand in hand with the U.S./European govts to attempt to bring the world into subjugation. They will explain that the greys are the physical manifestation of the misunderstood story of 'the serpent in the garden'. They will explain that we have entered into a new time of peace and that people need to get educated during this time in order to make clear choices of what direction they wish to take.
(only with full disclosure of all the variables of 'what' god is and 'what' we are and 'what this physical duality means' then and only then can a human make a clear choice) |

Here's a friggin challenge for you.
Instead of bashing a "christ tard" for believing in "man made" religions. Come up with something not man made. The truth is anyone with an internet connection and an education can make some razzle dazzle web site and post junk on it and you say "aha this is it" and right after you view this MAN'S page you come on here and bash a Christian for believing in some "man made" religion.
It's time for a new argument, because based on yours we're both the friggin same.
Ima sheep, your a sheep. No difference. Once we both realize this we can start moving forward. Quoting: Grinse
Only way you can move forward friend is to break loose from the herd! |
