Wrong. Even the most zealous Christians don't crash airplanes into buildings are raise their children to be suicide bombers. Back to the topic, there
is not one piece of physical evidence for ET's nor is there any irrefutable photographic or video evidence of ET's. There is, of course, evidence of
the Christian divine such as religious relics with healing power, incorrupt bodies of saints, miraculous artifacts, and of course miracles themselves
which are rigorously examined by the Catholic church before being declared official. UFOlogists have squat.
Have you forgotten about the Spanish Inquisition? Did I not say "in the past" as well? Regardless of technological innovation, that nowadays makes
being an extremist zealot much more effective and deadly, both religions have now and in the past been responsible for just as much suffering as they
have been in helping.
You can play dumb all you want, and close your eyes to all the atrocity Christianity HAS caused, but crying out "wrong" won't change history.
on-topic-
Using the Catholic Church as an example of anything "proven" in relation to anything religious, in comparison to anything even resembling scientific
evidence is a joke. Everything "religion" is man made. Period. A bunch of old men, terrified of losing their patron-donated income via what amounts to
as a worldwide religious cartel is what Christianity is. Explain why a Church, anywhere in the world, is required to pay the Vatican for simply
offering people a place to worship? Sounds alot like a Mafia Organization, doesn't it? Pay the boss, or you aren't recognized by the family.
There is nothing man made about extra-terrestrial visitation. There are no false promises to take you to heaven if you believe in what is generally
accepted as scientific fact, that life outside of this planet is guaranteed. What ignorance and arrogance must you be full of, to really believe that
the earth is 4000 years old and was created just for you, by some unknowable God, for some unknown reason, and to even question those insane notions
instantly makes you worthy of an eternity of Hell? Really? Are you serious? Do you not see how your ludicrous religion traps you into an eternity of
ignorance? Forever limited intellectually, technologically, socially, because of a made-up belief system that punishes anyone who dares question
"where is our God?".
It's the inability inherent in your religion, to not allow you to ask important questions or seek answers, that has crippled society across the
ages.
It's very easy to see how any outside Alien intelligence would be wary of interfering with religious dogma. Look at the many blindly passionate
religious people in this thread alone. You're raised to NEVER question what you're told. Punishment is eternity in "Hell". Could there BE any more
effective means of gimping a population?
In order to hide from the public, Aliens already have their work cut out for them. A throng of thousands of religious people would merely turn away,
in fear that God is testing their faith by admitting they saw anything in the sky at all. Pathetic.
