I should have put this in the religious section- but I'm not bashing anyone. I'm just stating the truth. Jesus told us that many people would be deceived by false doctrines in the last days. And I love the people in the UFO forums, they are very open minded and intelligent -and a lot are seeking answers.

But seriously where is all this bashing? I just see strong opinions on both sides. If ones faith be it God, or be It Tentacled Monsters From Alpha Centauri... if one cannot discuss the difference without someone saying 'bashing' then we all best just turn off the computer

God? Would that be that guy in that old book that wants you to worship him and blindly follow? "The Lord is thy shepherd..."? Is he the one that gets mad all the time when you don't, mad enough to throw a hissy fit and wipe out all creatures by drowning them because a few people ticked him off?. Sounds to me like I know where the real deception lies... and it's been fooling people for 2000 plus years.

An insult made in ignorance is still an insult. The insensitivity shown is what made your comment so petty. Petty ignorance is bashing, in my opinion. That is why I responded.

It's rather selfish of you to expect others to be such a hardass, as yourself.

If quoting Scripture to someone quoting Scripture gets me scrutinzed, without the the other poster being scrutinized first, you may want to rethink your comment.
Remember, that as an atheist yours is a not a specific belief, but a lack of belief. You have nothing to "prove", it is up to theists to prove that their particular omnipotent father-figure exists. Furthermore, theists claim to know what happens when you die, so their burden of proof is higher than an atheists.
Pragmatic agnosticism is the view that thousands of years of debate have neither proven, nor dis-proven, the existence of one or more deities (gods). This view concludes that even if one or more deities exist, they do not appear to be concerned about the fate of humans. Therefore, their existence has little impact on personal human affairs and should be of little theological interest

Okay out of all the races we are familiar with out in space, which ones do you consider good and which ones bad? I tend to think the Reptilians have been on Earth for a very long time and are not really bad, just don't like us very much. Other than that I don't really have a lot of direct or first hand information about all these aliens to make an informed decision.
Unfortunately for us... until they are either revealed by those that do know, or they show themselves on the evening news, we are merely guessing
There is of course one very curious factor... most abductions happen to Christians... at least the reported ones. I find that fact very odd

I think I will simply start reading the UFO section here. I'll wade through the muck to find answers, like I have done any other time no one seems to have something exciting to add to the conversations.

Jesus is the life and truth and the way. There is no other way to the Father. He wants you to accept Him. In fact He died for you.
I pray that you will know Him as I know Him. Once you know His love you are never the same. This is for real man. God it constantly whispering in your ear. When you want to throw your anger at someone He is right there waiting for you to ask Him to defend you. He knows our every secret. All He wants is for you to accept Him, and love Him.

Hehe nah that isn't arrogance, that is simply common sense and a lot of research. By many other than myself.
But people want the story, not the truth.
