Alien life is not compatible with the Christian world view.
Nowhere did I say I believed in aliens zapping people or giving them anal probes.
Although people may believe in such things, but it has not been validated by science, nor has science been presented with any hard evidence of alien abductions.
Now these fundamentalists can believe in spiritual warfare (which divides them in terminology from the wider Christian and even the evangelical movement, with whom they share other teachings but not the constant focus on demons, or the fantasy that demons are scientifically proven and hence this proves Christianity, and I'm also sure that not all Christians want to be given fundamentalist attributes, or stereotyped as demonologists, so it would be unfair to them not to narrow the terminology), or they can believe that they have some special power of "discernment", just like the pastors who abuse and starve children in exorcism rituals believe they had some magical "discernment" in their actions and beliefs.
Even in this thread there is a claim of scientific validation, but there's not even an attempt to offer such proof.
There's just an attempt to take unproven claims on spirits and aliens and turn them into unproven claims about Biblical demons by some anecdotal leap.
They cannot prove it, plain and simple. We have an abundance of evidence for extraterrestrial visitation, and not a thread of evidence save one book on the Christian beliefs. Does that one book, written by men, validate the Christian theory and hypotheses of a Demon infested world? I think not. Wild claims of deep esoteric knowledge without study in that particular field do not constitute proof either.
Channeled material? Are you serious?
You don't even know who the hell you're talking to.
You're talking to a demon.! You keep toying around with that stuff you're gonna make yourself open to possession.

Truer words never spoken by you! You are exactly right, Christianity, and Islam, cannot exist when ET makes himself known to us all. Why is it you think that those of us who channel these beings are trying to tell you for all this time? That your old, stale, controlling ways and beliefs will not stand in the future. You will learn the hows and whys of this grand experiment. You will be in awe of your true creators, and all of the sentient life there is in the Universe, and the grand connection of us all.
We don't have a single shred of evidence to conclude there is life anywhere in else in our universe.
Space historians will recall that the journey to the stars has more than one life form on its passenger list: the names of a dozen Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon and one inadvertent stowaway, a common bacteria, Streptococcus mitis, the only known survivor of unprotected space travel.

Like I said, if anyone discovered proof of the existence of life on the moon it would be the biggest discovery ever. In relation to that case, my suspicions lie with the possibility of contamination. If bacteria inadvertently found themselves aboard Apollo 11, the same goes for the Russians. Very dubious claims, HOAX. And that's a very old article, 12 years to be exact. Do some research see where those claims are at now

A common argument from a Christian. How do you know who you are talking to friend? Does Jesus Christ appear to you in full apparition and produce ID so you know for sure that is who it is?
I know what I know. I trust in my eyes, and my sense of honor and the ability to know a truth from a lie. Just because you think that does not make it so.
And that whole "Satan uses UFOs to take people's attention from God or Christ" argument just doesn't fly.
In fact, one could argue that UFOs have drawn so much attention to Christianity lately that maybe they are angelic, instead of demonic.
