I wonder what the effect of alien disclosure and/or contact would have on earthly religions?
Some are more flexible than others. Some would just see it as a chance to open up new markets and many will answer the call to bring the word of the interstellar Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to alien heathens. Probably make them put on clothes, too.

This is something that have bothered me for the longest time. Why do humans in general fear alien contact? why shouldn't we make contact if we can?
at least we would know for sure that we aren't alone in this universe... Fear is a powerful motivator, but it shouldn't be. I would love to know why "we" are so afraid of the unknown-

What is it you guys really want to know? I may very well have the answer for you.

Not if it all comes from only one book. There are many others, you know.

So you are saying the ancient sumerian texts are the 'gospel' after all? The nephilim are the fallen angels. One ancestral line from nephilim + eve, one line from adam + nephilim & one from adam + eve?
Would you happen to know if these nephilim are flesh and bone or spirits?
Do you interpret these nephilim to be divine or are they on the same playing field as we are?

A bunch of extremely bored Egyptians.

Why stop there? Why not say that this planet/solar system/galaxy/universe/etc. is a prison?
The worst prisons are the ones we make around ourselves.

Trouble is just a mutual creation of what humans experience. You can not fix it.
I underwent a self-healing session of riddance of all things grey, including in my own genome, and i have never been happier.
I used to read something like troubled times and agree, but this time i went ????? there isn't any troubled times
