Following your argument, I can see how aliens are evil. And lets say you're spot on. Then I'd ask you the following question: What makes you think those evil aliens are the only aliens out there?
We have too few pieces of evidence, if you can call them that, regarding alien intelligent life.
There might be a vast network of good aliens out there that believe in non-interference and that everyone needs to learn on their own.
Or we can accept the fact that the Universe is so massive, that we really have NO clue as to what it holds in terms of life.
In any case, subscribing to the idea that aliens are evil is bad. Simply because if there are good aliens that arrive and we treat them with hostility, what reason do they have to interact with us?
I'd rather we be cautious but open. Trust has got to be earned, even by aliens, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go shake their hand.

You are posting alot of what they might do that is bad, but do you think that there are some pro's to this list of things they might of done that is good?
Were no more innocent than they are, yet we still have people that have done good for us.

Dear prophecy4
I think the fact that aliens of which we have evidence but certainly no proof are good is very interesting.
Many think that they will come here and save us.
Too me this just says how utterly disappointed they are with our leaders.
In other words I would rather be ruled by a superior being from beyond the stars that the scumbags that are governing me now.

I see where you're coming from OP, but I'm still going to wait for disclosure before I make a decision either way.
After all, I have not seen any concrete evidence that points to them being good or being evil. IMHO most of the stuff out there is hearsay which lacks formal evidence, or a person (or persons) best guess based on ancient texts and stuff like that. I do not believe any abduction or contactee story and believe that those who claim such should try the meds I'm on and they'll see their delusions fade away in next to no time.
That said, I do believe in aliens and look forward to seeing what happens when/if disclosure happens.
If/when disclosure happens, you should pray that God intervenes. These beings are up to no good.

I agree that statistically and logically it is safe to assume that the universe is balanced with good and evil in some sense although i have long moved past those terms. However i do not for one minute believe in any of the religious spins that people put on aliens and higher beings.
I think that if the "so called" aliens were not benevolent but malevolent in intent and that this was the general statistic across the board of currently visiting or visited in the past "races", then we'd be gone already. Simply because any intelligent technologically and or spiritually superior race that had evil intentions would not waste hundreds to thousands of years for some grand master plan/deception, they'd have acted immediately and been done with it already.
I think the truth is much more balanced than that, however i also think that there seems to be a strong benevolence going about. Maybe it is just my gut feeling, instinct, sense, or maybe i am dreaming but i don't think were in such deep trouble as some make us out to be, i think that is just fearmongering and being scared of the unknown.
I think that it is more likely that some are here to watch, others are here to help, some are here for their own reasons a.k.a self-servant, however i do not think there is much malevolence other than perhaps some of our own higher ups who seems to think the human race is just a pawn and that the planet is an immortal rock.
Example #1: Some people claim that highly advanced beings would not be evil. If we look at mankind, the more advanced we have become, the more we have perfected the art of killing people. From slings to neutron bombs. Based on our own actions, we can conlude that more advanced civilizations would probably be the same way.
Example #2: All throughout history people have been reporting beings from the sky kidnapping and raping women and men in some cases. There are two possibilities. There are no beings from the sky at all or there are. If there are beings from the sky, are they really kidnapping and raping people?
Example #3: People claim that these beings only lied about being gods and angels because we weren't ready to know the truth. A lie is a lie period. Even if they are posing as gods, angels, etc., they are still revealing that we are not alone. Why not just say they are mortal beings from a different world. Why pose as gods and allow people to worship them? People already believed that hybrids lived among them, I'm sure they could accept the story that these beings were not gods.
Example #4: People in Sumer claim that these beings enslaved them and forced them to work for natural resources. I can't speak for everyone but I'm sure most people don't view slavery as a good thing.
Example #5: Perhaps one of the most disturbing aspect is the concept of a walk-in. I'm not a genius, but does this not sound exactly like a Biblical example of demon possession? I don't know alot, but anything acting like a demon should raise red flags.
Example #6: Some organizations like the Raeliens claim we need to give these beings an invitation if we want them to make contact. If these beings were the gods of mythology, the usual invitation was a huge human sacrifice or a request for them to inhabit a body. Demons need an invitation, vampires need an invitation, and so do many other creatures associated with the supernatural. Who in their right mind would invite beings that seem to be bound by the same laws as evil supernatural creatures.
I'd have to differ. How many wars of conquest and attempts to expand territory are going on, right now, in the world? Compare this to any time in civilization's past.
There's another possibility, there are beings in the sky, but the rape accounts are either exaggerated or untrue. While there are many abduction accounts, it's unclear how many of these aren't just hoaxers or mentally disturbed individuals. While there are intriguing cases, they are in the minority, not the majority.
You're assuming a lot here. For starters, they may not have been able to communicate well, and could have led to such beliefs unintentionally. Or, even if they did, to those peoples, it was a much more adaptable belief than other worlds.
If beings had interstellar access, they wouldn't need OUR resources....the Universe is their garden.
Very few abduction cases include this element, and even those that do are highly suspect.
We've already sent out the invitation. In addition to the radio waves we've beamed into space, we've got probes that have all kinds of information about us (including where we are) inviting all beings of the Universe to check us out.
