Title: On God and aliens.....
Post by: an0n on January 25, 2005, 09:05:06 pm
I wonder how many wars there'd be if some aliens landed tomorrow and the first words out of their vocal oriffices were:

Dammit. I told you it was Earth. This place really went to **** after we killed Yahweh/Allah/Buddah. Stupid ****ing monkeys....

Well, I think the first thing that would happen is some mullah would put out a fatwah declaring them evil and promising riches untold in the afterlife for those in the faithful that kill the blasphemers.

Shortly thereafter, the Atheists would celebrate, Chrisians would demand proof and the Jews would go on as it nothing had happened because they would still be surrounded on all sides by enemies.

I'm of the belief that they'd probably just try to nuke them and ignore anything and everything they had to say.

"Sure, you've mastered all time and space - but you're still wrong about God."

They forget that he rose again and is waiting for just the right moment to give them all the ultimate smackdown. ;)

Why? What stake do I have in the question? If anything, I woud mourn the loss of an inexhaustible form of entertainment.

Also, you'd've been completely wrong about there having been no God.

But atheists would have been wrong at some point because it means God would have existed at some point.

Well, it would prove that quote from Nietzsche right....

But they wouldn't care, because all it'd be is a huge joke or humurous situation through or by the aliens.

When I say atheists I usually mean those Humanists who claim atheism so that they can get away all sorts of deviant behavior.

I prefer to engage in deviant behavior so I can get away with atheism.

First we'd shoot the aliens.  Actually, we'd shoot them no matter what they said.  They could be waving peace signs and saying "We come in peace with gifts of knowledge and technology" and we'd still shoot the space hippies.

Then, the Americans and British, seeing the superior aliens use English, would then procede to decalre English the interstellar official language and cease all multilingual government fundings.  Then probably nuke France just because.  Then probably nuke each other over how "Labour/Labor" is spelled in galatic English.

Actual advanced alien lifeform would be pretty hard for the major western religions to reconcile anyway, even if they didn't make wacky claims about killing dieties.

The Raeliens though, those guys would party like it's 1999.  Until we shot them for not doing services in Galatic Standard English, but to be honest, the government's been looking for an excuse to shoot those guys for quite some time.

Seriously, any atheist I ever knew was downright dull and boring.  I'm far more lively being Christian....although I'm pretty dull and boring too.  Oh well! :)

Odd topic.  But ok.  Depends on where the aliens laned...someone would try and blow them up, someone would try and get them to take them with them, and so on and so forth...people would probably act like they always do.  Well, give them a day or so to get over the shock and then away they would go.  We are pretty resiliant and adaptable...just generally content to carry on and behave like idiots more often than not.

I didn't say they were atheists, I said they claim atheism so they have a basis to level attacks against religious groups.
