The absurd thing is claiming there is alien life. There is absolutely no evidence for this despite decades of intensive search. I find it curious that some atheists are eager to believe in unseen aliens yet won't apply this logic to an invisible God.
Lol.
Your own Bible tells you, screams at you that there exists life outside of Earth, and here you are talking rubbish.

The war in heaven.

Was is supposedly faught on Earth, or were the supposed combatants Humans ?

Use your brain Uyi.

I have advised you to refrain from making absolute statements on matters that you know so little.

Rather, have an open , but critical mind.

Intresting....

However It leads me to ask the question :

If say, there suddenly appeared massive spaceships coming to the solar system and the occupants within are translucent beings who can levitate, heal people, move mountains, and what not......

Will they also be glorified as Gods??

Or will we be wiser

Messi is a God already. So is Magnus Carlsen. The aliens will simply join the list of Gods.

I don't think any one said anything about believing in aliens. He only stated how they would react to aliens if they came, which is a possibility because of how large the universe is.

The war in heaven concerns spiritual entities not physical aliens. As such, it can't be used to say the Bible proclaims life outside of earth. BTW, I'm a deist. That said, I repeat, a belief in aliens is absurd.

Dude, seriously READ before you reply.

I asked a question about a probable scenario. I believe it started with "IF"; meaning that although it's not currently feasible, imagine.

And for crissake, The search for alien life is less than a 100 years old. The search for God....... Stretching over 2 thousand years.

Amd atheists have searched for Gods... The Gods claimed by different religious sects.... What we found was a child's fantasy.

And people have searched for aliens and seen none. Neither has any approached us. A good basis to dismiss the idea.

Thanks man. When the explorer asked the chief what he would most want from America(which the chief has gone to and still returned to his underdeveloped village) he said a better boat so he can catch more fish for his village people so their lives will be better. He seems like a really nice guy and in no way deserves eternal torture.

agreed

@lennycool
There's nothing much to this. It simply proves the point that we(humans) are naturally wired to worship. We were created that way, we find ultimate fulfillment in worship. It's like a fish to swimming or to water. There's that drive, that thirst for God or some form of god(from wood to iron to money to self to attainment or accomplishment to nature). We all have some god, though you should know only God truly and fully satisfies. Something Jesus said about never thirst again.

Sorry, man, but only SLAVES are geared towards worship. Stop being a grovelling, kneeling, bowing, cowtowing soul that does nothing but licks Yahweh's ass. It doesn't portray you in good light!

Fortunately for us, it's not about me. The point is about the glaring observation of humans all time, all place like the OP's interesting religion suggests.

Errr..... What's your point, exactly? That the fact that most humans have expressed their preference for slavery, being treated like dogs, scum, by their chronically narcissistic cosmic master(s) of (a) Torture "God(s)" due to lack of dignity and self-respect makes it a virtue? It takes a human to fight divine tyranny and reject slavery in all its forms, especially in its most insidious. However, a vegetable can be a Christian (!)
