Mixing Your Religion and Alien Life

By , About.com GuideMay 28, 2010

Follow me on:

This topic has been discussed before, but bears repeating. With so much being said these days about the possibility of contact with beings not of this world, and the impact of such an event on our world as we know it, is certainly a worthy, yet controversial subject.

An Internet article, Mixing Religion and Extraterrestrial Beings, deals with this very issue. Although it primarily looks at the Catholic perspective, you are touched by this topic, no matter what religious tenets you happen to adhere to.

Check it out, and weigh in with your comments.

Thanks Mars for the link update. Are we to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe, and that God only created us? We are neophytes in this endless universe. Cavemen in intelligence. I do believe in God, and I further believe that any intelligence out there would also be created by God. As the bible says, “God created the heavens and the earth.” Several thousand years ago, man would not understand aliens. Not that we do either. I’m just saying….

billy,

Ok first of all, we have not one tiny inkling, not one shred of evidence, of ANY kind of life other than on this planet!

We have yet to discover even another planet with water like ours! Out of all those billions and countless billions of light years out there…

ok, ok i will give you that maybe we will find some type of single celled organism capable of living in a sub sub-zero atmosphere of ammonia and carbon dioxide…

but for some reason sentient life seems to be the exclusive product of earth, ultra-terrestrials included…

i know there are thos who will come out of the woodwork, protesting that i am closed minded…

but where is their one shred of evidence?

as to the question of the extraterrestrial presence on the earth, evidence points to the fact that these so-called extraterrestrials are tricksters…
Chariots of the Frauds, indeed…

just because these multi dimensional entities SAY that they are from zeta reticulli does not make it so…

What a mess!

In school they taught us the theory of evolution:

http://growabrain.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/10/11/theory_of_evolution.jpg

Ok, maybe not the 44oz. soda, but you get the idea… :)

On the news we kill each other because of what we believe in? Uhh… What? Those who kill didn’t learn this theory in school? Was I the only one who didn’t fall asleep in history class?

On history/discovery we see a documentary showing amazing evidence that Jesus was married to Mary Madeline.

What’s this? Is this really Mary to the right of Jesus in the last supper?

http://thelastsupper.2artgallery.com/The-Last-Supper.jpg

Everything I was taught at the First Church of Nazarene growing up is wrong? It sure looks like a female to me? But I can’t say it, can I? Because in the screwed up world of yesteryear, wouldn’t I’ve been killed for thinking this?

And now we bring aliens into the picture. Although I don’t know any aliens personally (I do believe in them however), I can almost guarantee you that they don’t worship any god that any human on earth may or may not believe in.

Perhaps we need aliens to come to us; to clean all this mess up? Would they want us to make them our god (I doubt that)? Would they kill us for not believing in the same god as them (I doubt that to)? Or would they want us to convert them to our religion (I doubt that also)? If so, who’s religion would we convert them to? Ha!

I suppose we’d have to have a war over that now, wouldn’t we?

Can’t we all just get along? (I doubt that’s ever going to happen)…

What a mess! :(

RELIGION…Control of the human race..The original teachings have been so distorted it just leads to our killing each other..As for the Vatican, an esoteric occult organisation. Just look at all it’s symbolism. It knows more than it would ever let it’s servants understand. God (’the source’) is in our hearts, We don’t need a corrupt organisation to tell us how to worship..

(14) Alien history recorder says:

When the aliens came to Earth and Terra Formed it so they could live here it was recorded in the
bible as “God” creating trees, water, food and animals etc.

After Adam and Eve had a few kids they were sent out into the world to take mates. Who were they?

Who were the “Sons of God” who looked upon the woman of earth and found no suitable mate?

When the aliens decided to mate with the “animals” of this planet, they were punished and sent into exile into the desert for 40 years to purity their blood. Following a glowing disk in the sky each step of the way.

When the aliens had a hard time surviving on this planet a book on how to live here was written (the bible) what food was ok to eat, how to clean up after themselves, how to handle the dead, and basic rules of daily living. And also had some basic rules “written in Stone” and given to Moses.

So when the Aliens prove that they have been coming here for thousands of years, and people realize that the bible wasn’t written for them and all the things
that happend back BC and AD were part of aliens coming here, the Religious leaders better have a cover story for humans or panic will rise up and they
will lose control over the masses.

That’s why the Vatican made that announcement, to be ready
when the major contact event happens.

Aliens and the Catholic Church.

True the Catholic Church has and is operating their own SETI type operation. They have to accept the fact the there is alien life out there. If there isn’t they would be out of business!

Remember the Bible;. God created the earth and the heavens. God would technically be an alien. God did not come from earth – he created the earth and humans.

Even Jesus told us “I am not of this world”.

The Catholic Church or any church cannot call Jesus a liar.
The appearance of holy beings is often described as coming down from the “heavens” (sky)…

I am not Catholic, I am a Christian (not attached to any organized religion).

I just hope that when alien life makes formal contact the Catholic Church does not try doing what they did to the Mexicans when Spain claimed that country – killing half the population and converting the remainder of the people to the Catholic faith. Forced religion!

Remember it was the early Mayans who had contact with aliens and created the worlds most accurate calendar (2012) and detailed astrological charts. Did the Catholics kill so many Mexicans to wipe out their advanced knowledge, which the church so feared might create conflict in their teachings (programing)?

I say keep religion out of the alien contact issue. Religion (Catholic / Universal Church) has led to more wars and death than WW1 and WW2 put together.

We should be the Samaritan of the Bible. We accept anyone who would be our friend, but not deny our acceptance and help because of their beliefs.

I only hope that any alien contact is made with us the everyday people (nuts excluded) instead of the worlds governments with their secrets and hidden agendas.

We, the worlds citizens, are for the most part, just wanting to live in peace TOGETHER as one family of man. Our only enemy has become some organized religions with distorted and hateful beliefs and agendas.

Removing those barriers (bad beliefs and dogmas) would make the world a better place for everyone. Believe what we want, but don’t use it to alienate your fellow man for he too has a right to believe what he wants as well.

Soon enough all truths will be revealed and we will be one in faith, one true family of man….

(16) David B says:

Let me begin by saying I am a true believer. I believe in God. I believe in the deity of Jesus. I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. However I also believe that God chose not to tell us everything. Believing in the possibility of other creations of God that we are not aware of, specifically aliens from other worlds, is not incompatible with my religious beliefs.

(17) VonBraun says:

The Architects of Evil

the alien presence does pre date man-
the megaliths from around the world are from the same epoch.

The aliens at one point did walk the face of the planet, these are the ones who built the pyramids at Giza…

But they had an insatiable thirst for blood,
human blood…

And so they were banished to the second dimension…

These are the ArchItects of true evil…

They do not worship the one true God, they worship the god of forces…

they oppose everything that is good and right, they are sons of perdition…

Certain of those who were aware of the master plan of the aliens were able to communicate it to others…

the hearts of men are easily decieved…
Making the aliens plan much more easier to implement…

the hearts of men are easily corrupted, which males pitical power easier to control…

Oh yes, you will be getting your alien religion soon enough, you will have so much of it it will be coming out of your nose…

But by then, there will be no turning back….

Not all ET’s are negative,I believe there is a spiritual war going on for this planet..If humanity can finally begin to wake up our future may be saved from slavery. As it is now things are not looking good…

(19) Cap says:

Organized religion was designed to keep us in fear and was designed to set one religion against the other, instead of coming together in global harmony. As long as we are in fear we can never achieve enlightenment. First the finacial institutions will fall, then the churches, and we will be free of the chains that keep us in darkness. After these collapses we will be able to make the transition of 2012.

May 29, 2010 at 7:26 pm
(20) VonBraun says:

To the delightfully naive person who thinks that churches are the last bastion of religion,

guess again.

“tear down this temple, and I will rebuild it in three days”

history proves that to banish religion from the hearts and souls of men is an impossibe task…

New age twaddlespeak notwithstanding…

Omygosh. Kiddos, I’ve been trying to have a conversation with ANYONE about these beings who I have been seeing right here where I live! I’ve wondered also if they were Angels or the one silhouette was Jesus. But I don’t go to any church and I would beware them if I were you, because most are too lustful for power and when they truth comes out one of them will race to claim them!
Since the summer of 2008, I have been seeing strange things, lights, ufo couple of times and now pixs that started last Oct.
Now I see few, but they seem to be changing colors. Maybe that was because of all the brilliant different colors of neon colors I saw in the ‘lights’.
Don’t be scared, but ur welcome to go look at them where I uploaded my pixs of them on Webshots. I know for myself, it’s something hard to digest and realize in the mind. Honestly guys, I didn’t make these pixs, and I think they used me to set this up to get their pixs out there. Why? Because I speak HONESTLY. And it’s getting rare in this country today.
Here is the link and if it doesn’t work let me know and I will try to send it again or just go look at Democratbrat on WebShots. Ok? Have a great day.

Aliens will be used to explain the Rapture to those who aren’t saved and have been left behind. This video is a testamonial please watch it, it explains a lot. I have to add though in my personal experience just looking at pictures or drawings of aliens can cause the same type of demonic attack that is described in this video. Even as I was looking up the link I had to stick a post-it note on my monitor because of the one image in the side bar, I feel that God has sensitised me to demonic & spiritual presences, please be aware of the spiritual warfair that is going on that we don’t see.

reality is reality and it doesn’t matter what religion doctrine says.
We have to adjust our relgious doctrine to meet reality not the other way around. Those who think religious doctrine is more important than reality are people with problems.

There is a God ,religion is to control us because we are so desperate to show we are better than one another.So much jealousy and hate and trying to be better than the next person trying to have more than the next person that’s why the Bible was written it’s a History book.Some of the teachings are good others are predjudious man made the bible yes there is a God but this Bible well I believe there is life out in the Universe and we must accept that and go on from there.There should be some laws to govern us thats’s the bible trying to lead us in the right path.We can actually live with both.People are so gulible.Religion and aliens all go togedther.There is good and bad in the Universe as well as here.Why can’t we accept that?????God made everything if you believe in God then believe he didn’t just make us my gosh we ashould not be that dum-.Thank you very much

I firmly believe the whole ufo and alien abduction phenomenon is a satanic deception, These so called space aliens in reality are demons or fallen angels masquerading as space aliens.
