Ok, I don't want to keep repeating myself but Catholicism is not a faith - it is a religion just like Buddhism.

If that is the case MAC, why are aliens so afraid of Jesus? Why do they flee in his name? Why can they not harm one who is holy-spirit filled?
You are not just debating this with me, but with the 200+ cases from www.alienresistance.org...
As far as the bible being a construction of Catholicism, that is not proven. It is from the dead sea scrolls, written by God's disciples which of course you will not believe unless you are Christian yourself.

Yes, I know it is, that was partially my point regarding operating on assumptions, one of them being assuming alien abductions are actually real and cannot be explained away by hoaxes or hallucinations of some sort (not necessarily my belief).
There are a few reasons the UFO community wouldn't accept it:
1) a few of said researchers believe in ancient alien theory, totally going against the story of Christ
2) a few of these researchers will not believe in Christ whatsoever, unrelated to ancient alien theory- there is no proof Jesus was in any way the son of god and indeed some still dispute his existance whatsoever.
3) your opening statement only cites 200+ cases of this working- statistically, if alien abductions are real, then it is almost guaranteed there will have been many more Christian abductions than this (unless you argue that aliens usually try and avoid Christians altogether) and in this context 200 is a very low number and could imply quite a low success rate.
4) aliens in abduction cases have very rarely been known to speak English, it's another assumption that they would even understand the words coming out of our mouths, let alone the implications behind them.
5) Most importantly, there's no evidence! Most legit ufologists, who aren't in it to exploit and make money, will at the very least use more in-depth case studies as evidence than these.
You're also operating on the assumption that there is a specific UFO community- even religions which have specific holy books for referencing have many different sects, let alone a subject such as UFOs, which is still highly hypothetical. There are books cited on the website your OP links to, is that not recognition by the UFO community? How do you define the UFO community? There will be many differentiating opinions through-out it, there is no specific set of rules in ufology and it is difficult to pin-point who is and isn't a member of said community in the first place.
Addressing the issue at the core of the thread, why would there even be a conspiracy? You seem to imply that the UFO community know that Jesus' name alone can prevent abductions and they are surpressing this information. Are you suggesting that the majority of ufologists are in on some nefarious plan, in which TPTB allow aliens to abduct us, when it could easily be stopped?

-That is their opinion, it does not explain why having a r/ship with Jesus stops abductions

-More and more christians are coming to know the truth and stopping their abductions When I stated 200+ this number is growing. Many christians themselves still do not know about this, and only now are coming to the realisation of what the beings are through testimony. Furthermore this number is most likely much higher, I am only stating the cases on the site - not every human
4) aliens in abduction cases have very rarely been known to speak English, it's another assumption that they would even understand the words coming out of our mouths, let alone the implications behind them.
-Well they seem to run when Jesus comes on the scene!!
5) Most importantly, there's no evidence! Most legit ufologists, who aren't in it to exploit and make money, will at the very least use more in-depth case studies as evidence than these.
-Theres no evidence of alien abduction itself, but that is not what this thread is all about.
You're also operating on the assumption that there is a specific UFO community- even religions which have specific holy books for referencing have many different sects, let alone a subject such as UFOs, which is still highly hypothetical.
-Well what would you call this forum?
There are books cited on the website your OP links to, is that not recognition by the UFO community? How do you define the UFO community?
-UFO community - a body of people who believe in the existence of aliens as beings from space/other dimensions etc, and furthermore abductions. That is all.
Addressing the issue at the core of the thread, why would there even be a conspiracy? You seem to imply that the UFO community know that Jesus' name alone can prevent abductions and they are surpressing this information.
-I see many topics in this forum on aliens/ufo's, abduction experiences etc, not many on abductions that are stopped by Christians. Furthermore many attacks that come with this knowledge. Do you see many people attacking your belief in aliens?
Are you suggesting that the majority of ufologists are in on some nefarious plan, in which TPTB allow aliens to abduct us, when it could easily be stopped?
-Not at all!! I just wonder why such a believing community of people do not spread the word more how the abductions are stopped. I never once said they are the reason why people are being abducted, but hey if you knew a cure to a disease, wouldn't you spreads the word?
