I'm not using the word in that sense. More like, respecting the power of the ocean. Respect the fact that it can kill you in an instant if you're not careful.
I know all of this is hypothetical and we don't know either way but I would treat anyone I met with respect until they proved they don't deserve my respect.
I tend to think accepting them and not being afraid of them is the better choice, because if we accept them they may be more willing to accept us.
to automatically say they are evil is wrong.

Bang on phage respect is the right word, we should respect any other life form that is a part of our universe, to automatically say they are evil is wrong.

Yes I would be wary If they came down to say hello but I wouldn't start attacking them because some dude says they are "demons".
If we show respect to them I hope they would do the same.
Lot's of stories. Yes. I saw The Exorcist. Scary.
There's EXTENSIVE FACTUAL demonology literature of very long standing as well as very modern.
It is not that the Unknown = demonic.
Maybe.
You might even find Cris Putnam and Tom Horn's
EXO-VATICANA interesting.
Won't be buying the DVD. "Sources", huh?
They have a DVD full of sources to back their 600+ page summary up.
--raping victims in the midst of terrifying torture is NOT saintly behavior
--mutilating humans in the same fashion as cattle without anesthetic is not remotely saintly behavior.
--arrogantly bragging about their "right" to treat humans as cattle is not saintly behavior.
--forcefully taking eggs and sperm for hybridization and later showing the half-breed children in very . . . troublesome ways and scenes is not saintly behavior.
I think that's unwise, Phage.

Hate to disagree with the great Phage . . . however . . . your ASSUMPTIONS and BIASES are showing.
You make it sound like the perspectives of those on my side of the issues
have not based our conclusions and perspectives
ON SOLID EVIDENCE.
Nonsense.
There's piles of evidence
of
BOTH a phenomenological as well as "scientific" nature.
Some of us have cited such ad nauseum.
Those addicted to the RELIGION OF SCIENTISM are disinclined to tolerate much of any evidence that disagrees with their biases and assumptions.

It is not that the Unknown = demonic.
It is that BEHAVIORS AND GOALS and various other factors line up with historic demonic factors, behaviors and goals.
You might even find Cris Putnam and Tom Horn's
EXO-VATICANA interesting. It would at least broaden your scan of the territory.

That's much more akin to the Gen 6 and Book of Enoch outrages on the critters parts that resulted in God exacting great punishment on succeeding groups of such critters.
However, given that Phage is not able to reduce all such to his own personal microscope, I guess he'll just have to write it off as some sort of comic book fantasy.
I think that's unwise, Phage.
