You are welcome to tell ALMIGHTY GOD that He's insane to do things HIS WAY, if you wish.
I wouldn't 'go there.'
I'd also suggest that . . . of all the entities in HIS CREATION,
HE ABOVE ALL
KNOWS
what He's doing.

I didn't write the 'script.'
And the One who did has no peers.

Not that I 100% believe their tales, but you trying telling the people that wake in the night to find hideous beings next to their beds that there are no evil aliens.
Try telling them that after they've gone through half a day's worth of experiments and painful experiences.
There are plenty of abductees who's stories have withstood lie detectors, regressive hypnosis and public scrutiny. So I think I'll believe their interpretations of what is 'out there' more.

kronos11Starting with my intimate knowledge of them I can confidently say that ETs CAN NOT be evil by the rules of universal law.
Can you provide a solid argument and evidence for the existence of this universal law? Can you show that, if it exists, ETs comply with it?edit on 18-10-2013 by EnPassant because: (no reason given)

If anyone has noticed I wrote this thread about 4 years ago and looking over it I would have worded things a bit different today.

There are millions of worlds throughout the universe with beings far more evil than any our planet could produce.
ETs CAN NOT be evil by the rules of universal law.

Also, and this isn't directed at anyone specific : it bugs me that many of us here (and yes, me included, definitely.) fall into the trap of stating things like we "know" them, when really we're just going along with the beliefs we cling to more than others.
Our awareness, even though we don't like to admit it, is so low compared to what it could be. It's good to question everything we can, admit that often we simply don't have the answers, and also to remember that when it comes down to it, we don't really know much at all compared to what we could do about this reality we're living in.

It's the knee-jerk super hostiles hereon who's only Raison D'etra is to do everything they can to assault the Christian perspective in the harshest terms that annoy me far more.

I can't really because it's nearly unheard of so far in our recorded history but I would say the fact that we haven't openly encountered one hostile alien in the thousands of years of remembered history can bode to the fact that they aren't there. Do you think they ETs are just sitting back waiting to strike and enslave us when we've developed the really good weapons?edit on 20-10-2013 by kronos11 because: typo

THX THX for your kind words.
You haven't bothered me . . . certainly not significantly enough to recall it. LOL.

I certainly do not expect much of anyone to share my somewhat idiosyncratic views and beliefs.
You've been a gentleman and I appreciate it. No sweat.
I just happen to disagree--to have a different perspective.
BTW, I have a theory about the presentation of The Father in the OT vs in the NT.
1. satan fell and took 1/3 of the angels with him.
2. God was dealing then with tribal groups all over the planet waxing more and more degenerate--doing their own thing, their neighbor's thing, their neighbor's wife's thing etc. . . . murdering at whim . . . sacrificing children in horribly painful ways to demonic idols and gods.
3. The cultures, psychologies, memes, etc. DESPERATELY NEEDED STARK DEMONSTRATIONS OF WHAT WAS RIGHT AND WRONG.
4. Also, Father God was dealing with very overt copulating between the fallen angels and human women resulting in giants who had a propensity to soon eat the nearby humans out of house and home and THEN TO BEGIN EATING all the nearby humans.
5. That was something NO LOVING FATHER could kindly tolerate AT ALL.
6. 100% of ALL the tribal groups that the children of Israel was told to TOTALLY EXTERMINATE HAD FALLEN ANGEL DNA; child-sacrificing to idols customs etc. Father God wanted that totally removed from the planet--totally. What loving Father would have wanted otherwise?
7. The SAME ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD known for such 'harshness' in the OT was the same one to SEND HIS OWN ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to die for all mankind even when all mankind was still horribly stuck in rebellion, idolatry, harsh abuses of fellowman etc. That's a rather overwhelmingly loving thing to do. . . . send the most precious part of you to die for ingrates.
imho.
