If you Dont believe me then why astrology is still here and when you make a game what is the biggest problem?.it is the story,the begining and the ending of the story is already written and if it is not written then there would be chaos.I think karma is whacked up as when everything is already written then its not our fault.I think god is a machine as all the alien life are either biological,pure energy(soul).And we are just battries for god and thats why non existence is bliss imo.Dont diss the matrix movies as they are taken from my religion and it is true.You cannot change your fate,no one can.
Why, don't you find the whole thing interesting? You got a front row seat to a very dramatic saga! It doesn't get any better than this when it comes to drama. Sure, we're the underdog, or so it may seem. We will win. Don't you want to be around to see it? I know I do.
That's cool. I asked only because what you mentioned was almost word-for-word something taken out of Scientology. See here. I got a little suspicious. Can you blame me? Nonetheless, I apologize.

That sounds like Scientology. Just change the name from Lucifer to Xenu, and you've got part of the basis for Scientology. You wouldn't happen to be a Scientologist, would you? Scientologists are just as crazy as Christians.

The misery and all related wave lengths of energy are food for the aliens. In other words they feed off our anger, hate, jealousy, aggression, etc..
Just another theory to add to the mix.
No. I don't belong to any religion or creed. I heard that theory from a source unrelated to scientology. And I think all people are crazy.
Also, I started it with "Some believe" not "I believe".
I love the subtle way you link me, the theory, scientology, christians and "crazy". Very well done. And so concisely.
There is an ample amount of evidence out there to suggest that our brains are particularly wired for religious belief (cf. God on the Brainp). It's something that should make all of us wonder, religious or not. I have certainly experienced the "religious experience" myself, but these days, I can self-induce it. If "God" (be they spiritual or extraterrestrials) created this within our brains, does that not seemingly imply a desire on "God's" part to subjugate us? Why could we not have a brain with the wiring for religion, and be completely free to think for ourselves? If some people still come to the conclusion that religion has truth to it, c'est la vie, but at least we would have truly and freely came up with that conclusion ourselves with out the help of some brain wiring for religion.

I do not believe that we were seeded at all. If you look at how things operate on this planet, you will see that humans have the highest level of cognitive abilities compared to all other animals, which can be explained by evolution.
Every animal has that one special talent which allows it to survive. This ability has been developed over the years through breeding and different circumstances resulted in the elimination of some species and species with only certain characteristics surviving or atleast certain species surviving because of certain characteristics.
In the case of a human, without a developed frontal lobe our species would have been extinct long ago. We needed this developed frontal lobe just to develop tools in order to hunt and kill other animals for our own consumption. Humans work too well within the ecosystem of this planet in order for them to be seeded by another race. There is NO reason why another species would seed us on this planet. We evolved from lesser intelligent species. These lesser species evolved from lesser species...and if you go back far enough our species at one point was reptilian, before that even aquatic life. This was about a billion years ago or so.
We were NOT seeded. We evolved out of this planet. So stop looking towards the skies for your answers. The same rules apply to religion. Religion serves no purpose. It was developed in order to subordinate the masses so that wealthier individuals can keep their form of order so others will not steal from them. When religion was invented, the leaders knew that people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told. Just study into the history of religion to see how every single religion that exists is a sham.
If there are extra terrestrials examining us, it is out of mere curiousity and wanting to see how we evolve just so that they can understand how they themselves evolved. Life is just nothing more than a period of evolution. When i mean evolution i mean change and adaptation to the environment.
These aliens that exist out there are not much different than you or I. They are individuals like us. Their ancestors made the same mistakes as us or similar mistakes. They are not morally superior nor morally inferior because there is no such thing as either or.
It will be discovered later on in this century sometime, that religion or religious people have a lesser evolved brain that focuses more on ideas and concepts instead of analytical thought. I know the right-side of the brain vs. the left-side of the brain is an oversimplified example, but it serves some merit. People who follow into religion or are religiously devout have strong ideas and are able to fathom the nature of concepts, whereas people like scientists, mathematicians are able to fathom the smaller picture. Religion focuses on the big picture, math and science focuses mostly on the smaller picture. This focus on the smaller picture is the sign of a more evolved brain, and it will be discovered in the future within 75 years to 100 years or so that that is the case. The idea of religion within the human mindset, in all truthfulness (i was being a little facetious earlier) is an evolutionary concept and is one of the earlier steps in the mental development of a highly intelligent species.
As humanity becomes more intelligent, religion will die off, as will the need to find out if there is a "God" thing out there.
