How will you respond when all your friends that used to ridicule you begin chanting about aliens? You know they most likely won't believe until CNN says it is true.
Good points and interesting perspective!

What you or anyone else believes about who and what these aliens would be are bound to be wrong. There's just too much we don't know.
If you investigate the full body of evidence that exists, (from now until 50,000 years ago), and I do mean investigate it fully, it's impossible for someone to walk away from it thinking aliens haven't visited us. And that's what the OP is pointing out I think. Some people recognized this a long time ago.
It's no different than the New World, Christopher Columbus was not named that. He never signed his name by that. He signed it in code, and if you want to know the true country he comes from (many speculations) you can find it in 2 papal Bulls written a few years after his first trip. They new the "New World" existed long before going there, they just needed a reason to discover it. No different than aliens today.

So the problem with that is that the Churches literally used to rule by the 'word of god' and they controlled that world. Literally translations of the bible says nothing about any divine beings (although I think there reference to something beyond them), what we call gods, were scientists. And the oldest Masoretic Bible which is accepted by all 3 Abrahamic religions is written in a very basic, to the point, the 'gods' (not a single god) came and taught man how to live.
When you read the translations everything makes sense. You haven't put your faith in god, you put it in men, who spoke on gods behalf. You think they got it right? They purposely altered the words...
So what if I am wrong, I have lost nothing, Gods, the Trinity.

Can someone explain to me how this post got sidetracked into a discussion on Christian dogma, demons and posting links to Christian literature?
It should be pretty interesting seeing those who were brought up and forced into the belief of one God will now see multiple and understand that they are not Gods but just more advanced beings
I certainly do not know anyone who would be running around in circles pulling out their hair and messing their shorts.
Uhh you sure about that? I've seen reactions like that when people see certain spiders, roaches, and moths.

And since I have a theory that extra terrestrials or their craft are insect sized, I can imagine people freaking out over them too. Especially if they move like insects or maggots lol.
