I must commend you on your labours to prove absolutely everything I said in my previous post correct!

i get a chuckle out of people that always need proof. people who have faith in a god they cant see, feel or hear dont need proof, they only need believe.

proof of your existence and the creepy crawly things that live symbiotically with you, that you cannot see with the naked eye should be proof enough.
just because you cannot see it, smell it, taste it, feel it, does not mean that it does not exist.
but once you open your mind and pay close attention to the universe around you , you'll come to realize and sense their presence and you might just learn something

I take nothing on faith... and respectfully, I'm not your brother.

That's proof of a symbiosis with microscopic creatures that evolved along side us on earth, not aliens. How you can equate one with the other is mystifying.
just because you cannot see it, smell it, taste it, feel it, does not mean that it does not exist.
Just because you think you can 'feel' it doesn't mean it exists.
but once you open your mind and pay close attention to the universe around you , you'll come to realize and sense their presence and you might just learn something
And if you open your mind too much, your brains will fall out.
'Feeling' something is not an accurate gauge of reality... Nor is faith... All it reflects is that which you desire to be true. The real trick comes in the ability to distinguish one from the other.
Thank you again for giving ample demonstration of the point I made in my first post!

I get a chuckle out of people who think that Faith is a sufficient basis for holding a belief in the extraordinary. In truth the only situations in which Faith should really be used are the ordinary conversation types. If someone tells you they had eggs for breakfast you can accept it on Faith because its a normal breakfast food but if someone says they had a bowl of Wheaties on Mars with an alien, well maybe you don't want to accept THAT on faith.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I, personally, am an atheist, so I have no faith in a god for which there is no evidence. In fact a lack of evidence is what makes me skeptical of supernatural and pseudoscientific claims.
People have a far better excuse to believe in God than to believe in ANYTHING you said in your OP because:
1) A belief in God is usually taught to them from birth by people they love and trust (parents). As opposed to you, just some anonymous guy on the internet.
2) A belief in God typically offers them the prospect of an afterlife and saves them from hell

So first it requires faith and now it requires "weeding through" the BS of the Bible... Weeding through the BS of the Bible is something I do on a regular basis so I'm a bit unsure of what you mean because never once have I been reading through the Bible and thinking "You know what this book is about, ALIENS."
So which is it? A ton of research in the Bible that ends with an absurd conclusion about aliens or simple faith? Because neither are sufficient to convince me of any extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

Pseudo philosophy and nervous laughter isn't going to by you a free pass in this debate.

No aliens are coming to save us from ourselves, no divine intervention, no rapture, no Santa Claus, no Easter Bunny, and no Elvis.
Now that you know the truth, how does this make you feel? lol....
its because your mind wont allow itself to let go of the brainwashing
and because "your government" says it isn't so.
just spend time researching the cosmos every night and quit reading that book and you might see what you've been missing in the translation.

Wrong actually. You see I used to believe in aliens and the ancient astronaut theory. Want to know what happened to change that? I simply applied skepticism properly.
and because "your government" says it isn't so.
Actually you're wrong again. I don't recall the government ever stepping out to say that aliens have never visited Earth and that ancient astronaut theory isn't true. Sure they've denied recovering a saucer at Roswell but other than that they haven't directly contradicted anything in your OP.
The old claim of "you've been brainwashed by the government" is merely an attempt at character assassination. It is an ad hominem attack that betrays the fact you have no evidence. Calling the other person a sheeple is much the same. I'm not suggesting you meant it as an attack on me personally but merely as a general rebuttal to all who dare question the 100% lack of evidence you've presented. All of your defenses have been absurd.
We must use Faith
We must read the Bible.
Still don't believe?
Well than you must be brainwashed...
just spend time researching the cosmos every night and quit reading that book and you might see what you've been missing in the translation.
Shifting the goal posts again eh? Ah, now its spend time researching the cosmos and DON'T read the Bible, a direct contradiction of what you told me to do before... Congratulations, after several posts of back and forth I now fully deem you the winner of my Daily Face Palm Award:
