Is Pope saying aliens aren't Demons?
Aliens are flesh and blood organic creatures.
Demons are pure spirit.
They are not the same species.

Started thinking though, what if a proper demon popped into this dimension and requested the same. A horned leather winged demon. satans minion...say he escaped hell for a second and got to the church, requesting to be baptized.
Is baptism open for all, to include the condemned?

HA! You just tickled my brain.
We are flesh and blood with human spirit made in the image of God. Flesh and blood with demon spirits animating the flesh and blood, would still be demon spirits, right? Demons don't want baptism and don't want to go to heaven. So I'm thinking they'd avoid baptism.
Pure speculation of course ...
All of that said, should a demon legitimately become flesh and blood without posessing another human and it sought salvation through baptism, I really don't think there would be grounds to refuse it the same chance we have. It's God above who makes the final call on judgement day after all.

God allowed it to get here then why not allow it baptism if it repents and accepts Jesus?

So, where did demons 'come from'? Are they all just fallen angels from 'way back whenever'? Do they 'live' in hell? Is there a Satan, and do they do his bidding?
What do they want here?
Why would they 'show up' in any given place or to any given person? Do they influence mankind? Are they a 'driving force' in the way the world is heading (i.e. high probability of doom)?
Is there some sort of ultimate 'war' between good and evil (i.e. between heaven and hell?)
I'm genuinely asking here, not joking around...because for a long time, I didn't believe that hell, or demons, or satan, could exist in a universe created by a 'truly' Loving God (Whom I do believe in), but in really 'seeing' the insanity going on in the world, I just can't rule out such 'forces' of evil...
And I've never known anyone who has experienced anything 'demonic', so I thought someone who has - might know the answers to some of the above questions...
But please don't anyone start throwing biblical rhetoric at me...I really only want to hear from those with personal experience...
Thanks in advance.
