TO THE CHRISTIANS HERE:
I challenge you to provide me and other ATS members who are not christian with the address of any Christian forum that will accept our viewpoint. I doubt there are any that would tolerate, as ATS and other sites do, such a wide variety of opinion.
Additionally, as for aliens being demonic or fallen angels: you simply display ignorance and prejudice by stating such falsehoods. To you, they are demons. You interpret them as such because you fear them, your pastor tells you they are demons and that you should fear them, and you find references in the bible that you misinterpret as referring to alien entities as being fallen angels. Your fear is based entirely in ignorance and exhibits the strong tendency of Christianity to label anything unknown, new or not understood as "demonic". Your fear is compounded and entrenched because you never dare think beyond what your pastor thinks nor do you ever question the pseudo-authorities in this subject. You accept, hook, line and sinker, whatever a Christian pastor, author or advocate tells you that you should accept.
In law, those making the claim have a burden to produce the evidence, generally. All I've ever seen are biblical references, but you can never seem to show us anything else to bolster your predominant claim that "all" aliens are demons (someone previously posted such a statement). You simply cannot use the bible to prove your interpretation of it.
Aliens are not demons, no matter how loudly you proclaim it. Despite the incessant preaching to the contrary, ETs are a phenomenon that is mysterious to humanity, and we should cautiously evaluate how we judge them.
To say aliens are demons or fallen angels is really quite stupid, too, when you think about it. If the idea was to distract us from worshiping our imaginary friend Jesus, wouldn't they want to make themselves as attractive and deceptively "nice" as possible?
You weaken your argument by asserting that Jesus is "imaginary", which not only is inaccurate

I respect your opinion but however I do not agree with you. Even the devil himself prances around masquering to be an "angel of light". As so do many of his soldiers. How else do you think they convince people to follow them or to believe their lies.

You can say the name but unless you know fully and understand the authority given to you under the most High G-d in this world it won't work. IF you do know your inherited authority over this world then they will become terrified because you will harness the power given to you under your royal lineage.
I have seen this with my own eyes and the beings have literally become utterly terrified. Knowledge is power but understanding the power you have inherited in this world is huge. HUGE! This is the very thing 'they' don't want you to know!

Needless to say you've spent many a late night conversing with real angels and being instructed on how to spot a fake angel.
For goodness sake man, this is 2009 only little children believe in fairies and angels, demons and such.

But he wasn't called 'Jesus'...
...It was Yeshua or some such other name.

So do we take it that you have new evidence to prove the opposite ?

C'mon, it's 2009! It's time to realize that saying Jesus in any concept is the same as saying "hamburger"! Say this 3 times and call me in the morning: Mental conditioning results in beliefs. When you "believe" you are simply acting as a slave to the concept you believe in, nothing to do with reality.

well doesn't look like anyone is coming forward so i'm going to give a christian's side of the discussion on how i believe there is power in the name of Jesus. looks like i'm outnumbered here but here goes. The name of Jesus is so powerful God put it above any name. Translation, God put him in authority over everything in the universe.
He has unlimited power and mighty angels to back it up. He is so powerful it is quoted in revelation that he will destroy the armies that is mobilized against him with the sword of his mouth which is his word.
So i know what your thinking at this moment if he's so powerful why doesn't he stop this mess. He will. He is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth which is a harvest for souls. He is waiting for the church to preach the Gospel throughout all the world so that everyone can hear it and then he will return.
He is in heaven right now making intercession for the believers to God. In other words he is our representative to God. I'll give you an example of how his power works. You ever been at an intersection where a police officer was directing traffic? Who gives him his authority? The law does. Ever heard that phrase "Stop in the name of the Law?" The law has power. The police officer has authority to direct traffic and enforce it.
When a christian uses the name of Jesus there is authority and power in that name in which Angels enforce it. That is why demons or otherwise aliens would be afraid. Ever seen an angel? They have been seen at over 10ft tall and one Angel is recorded slaying 150,000 people in one night in the old testament. Jesus said in the garden just before his crucifixion that he could call 12 legions of angels to fight for him. according to the times a legion was 3,000-6,000 men. for sake of the discussion we'll use 3,000. thats approximately 36,000 angels and if one angel could kill 150,000 in one night that is enough power to kill 5,400,000,000 people in one night. if it was 6,000 per legion it would double.
basically the possibility is they could destroy the population of the entire world in one night and we know for a fact that there is millions if not billions of Angels because each individual is commissioned 1-2 angels most likely two. One guardian Angel and one messenger Angel which would be billions of Angels. That in a nutshell is why they are afraid of him. Did i mention Jesus defeated satan himself and stripped him of all his powers? Thats what he did on the cross.
The only power he has over anyone now is the ones that let him. The word says that if you resist the devil he will flee from you. Jesus delegated his authority to the church so every believer has that same authority. wheww made it. ((puts on flame retardent suit)) let it roll!!!!
