Just curious about EBE's and religion

I find it fascinating that so many people claim that aliens are the exiled angels returning to wreak devastation upon us. Why is it that so many so-called open minded christians immediately call aliens, which could have possibly been our progenitors, the devils servants.

Please enlighten me. I am an atheist and lack the knowledge to relate A & B.

Well, I am a Pagan and had similar questions. Here is what I did.

While I was setting up a network for the Church of Christ, I asked the pastor to explain it to me. This wasn't a "Child, you need to come to church" deal. We sat down and had a wonderful conversation, even with him knowing my beliefs. I suggest you give it a try for a better understanding.

Anyway, it was explained to me this way....

Angels are sent by god to help and assist those that deserve it. They will appear to the faithful and test the unbelievers. Aliens, if they are real, are here for unknown reasons and go against what is taught by the bible. You hear of abductions, animal mutilations, and things of this nature. Does that honestly sound like something an angel would do?

That is the way it was explained to me. And today, that pastor and I are still good friends and try to get together whenever to discuss such things. Currently he is helping me understand somethings about the Ark and the Tower of Babel.

I'm a Christian but I don't see the need to relate aliens and religion. My reasoning is that God made a pretty big universe and I doubt we're the only life. I also don't think He needed to tell us everything that's going on. There's no mention of the dinosaurs in the bible, so what. Why did he need to tell us about that? Why does he need to tell us about aliens? They could just be like us, created by Him but doing their own thing. And if they attack us, big deal. In the bible He ordered some military expeditions and there is obviously suffering happening on the planet already. I don't know, it seems like you can force the ideas together but I don't see why they have to be related.

Well consider what an alien is or at least what the main rumors tend to say.

A sexless race that has advanced technology and can read minds etc etc.

Well what is the point of an alien life? They don't sound happy or have any real goals. If they can read minds which relates direct to psychic or something on a spirtual level.

Next if you ever read any mysticism I relate them to either one golemns or demons. If a person can see one why would it show itself? Why would Jesus,allah etc not show themself?

Most aliens seem to relate to Sirus and the gang being stuck out in space.

The biggest point would be well who created an alien if an alien is not any sort of spirtual being ie Demon or Angel. When you speak of an advanced life form like aliens there is not much thought of God as the alien becomes the supreme being. So I guess a deeper study of God would leave you at either they are Demons/Angels or if God is just a big soul producing machine which was at one time Chaos before anything was created maybe aliens are just an evolved race but what is life to them?

Last as far as the Dinos and the bible go as one of the posts mentioned. If you look at evolution from chaos it would make much more sense. If you are familar with run and return system which is talked about from Kabbalah texts than you can see how life forms have evolved very slow to the current state of Ipod loving people. However if you believe in Chaos and the above point than you can see why God should be reached with open arms in place of fear and rules or else Chaos would be reached again as we evolve so does the uncovering of God/Angels/Demons etc. So when the uncovering of God happens you see how fear equaling chaos can happen. Sorry so vague but deeper study would explain all my above points further.

There is reason for belief. As Jesus wrote:

Jesus said, "[If] those pulling you [say to you, 'Look,] the kingdom is in the sk[y,]' the birds of the sk[y will go before you. Or if they say t]hat it [is] beneath the ground, the fish of the se[a will go in, preced]ing you. And the king[dom of God] s within you [and outside you. Whoever] knows [himself will] find this [and when you] know yourselves [you will know that] you are [children] of the l[iving] father. [But if] you will [not] know yourselves, [you are] in [poverty] and you are the pov[erty.]"
