Why do Christian's act like they are better than others because of their belief in 'God'? That is nothing but pure elitism and arrogance to suggest that anybody other than yourselves are wrong and condemned to damnation. That is totally antithetical to the whole 'Christian' concept.

We're not better than anyone, we are simply aware of the Truth.
It is not un-Christian to speak the Truth.
Speaking the Truth is not preaching.
We are not suggesting that others' theories of UFOs being ETs are wrong, we are stating it as a fact, because it is.
I find it amusing when non-Christians take it upon themselves to preach their perceived "tenets" of Christianity.
And personally, I make no claim to anyone's damnation because that's not my job, nor is it my business.
Many times a non-Christian's perceived "damnation" from other Christians is actually their self condemnation from their own subconscience.
If hearing the Truth makes you feel condemned, that is no one else's fault but your own.

This entire post proves that you think you're better than non Christians. It reeks of ignorance, arrogance, closed minded bigotry, pride and an over blown ego. Looks like you're emulating your god! Good job.
I know your kind, with fake smiles and phony compassion, all along distancing yourself from true dialog because it just might shake your blind faith in a dusty old book of lies.

You don't know me at all, Wind. To say that you do, then to levy grossly misconceived presumptions, reeks of ignorance, arrogance, close-minded bigotry, pride and an over-blown ego.

I apologize if I have offended you by my interaction with others on this forum, but my comments are to them, not you.
I speculate that you have extensively read my interactions with many on ATS, therefore I feel that I can comfortably assume that you are all too familiar with the fact that I do not distance myself from true dialog.
All faith is blind.
All faith is subjective.
My compassion is far from fake.

I find it absurdly ignorant and arrogant of you to pretend to be able to speak for all Christians that you encompass in the word "we."
So people who are unable to buy into or blindly accept the BS stories of the Bible, and deny it as the truth, are all wrong. You are right and aware of "The Truth." They/we are all wrong.
You think you know that you're going to heaven, because of your so called truth, and you'll be looking DOWN on the rest of us, who dare to disagree with your idea of god, in hell. How is that not supposing that you're better?
I know your kind, because I was raised in a Pentecostal, Assembly of God, and they all say the same thing. I'm right, you're wrong, you're with Satan and going to hell! I have had the same the argument with my mother and my sister. "We're not better, just right and you're wrong." "We have Jesus, sucks to be you."
Let me ask you this. If St Peter asked you to watch the pearly gate, and someone from your life that you loved approached you, expecting to be let in. But this person wasn't a Christian in life, but you had no problem with them otherwise, would you let them in?
Do you think true compassion comes from telling someone that their truth is wrong?
No arrogance there! You're right, everybody else's experiences or theories are wrong. The so called "facts" that you are stating, come from your idea that the bible says something, that it doesn't. The Bible doesn't say that beings from other planets are demons. The Bible doesn't say that UFO's are demons in disguise.
More arrogance from you stemming from your own stereotype of non-Christians. I know as much, if not more, about Christianity as you. I am happy to say that I am not a Christian.
A put down! OH NO, you don't think your better!
This is just another example of your arrogance, hinting at the idea that you think you know the mind of god better than me. I have yet to hear anything from you that remotely resembles anything near the so called truth you keep telling us that you are in possession of.
I find it absurdly ignorant and arrogant of you to pretend to be able to speak for all Christians that you encompass in the word "we."

There are very few things that I will go so far as to assume that I am irrovocably correct in understanding the Truth. One of them is the UFO/ET/Contactee/Abductee phenomenon. All evidence, all signs, all occurances, all things associated with and related to are of nefarious and malicious origin and purpose. The only and sole exception would be UFOs that are misidentified as such and are actually man-made craft.
I am ignorant, I am flawed, I am nobody and I learn more from my mistakes than any other educational venue, but I can boldy claim without reservation that everyone who thinks the topic of this thread is not true is WRONG. Horribly, terribly WRONG in every sense, way, shape and form. WRONG WRONG WRONG, PERIOD. And it has nothing to do with whether you believe the Bible or not.
Be pissed off at the Bible, I could really care less. Rant and rave against your beliefs thereof, whatever, I don't care. It has absolutely nothing to do with what is trying to be pointed out in this thread.

Unlike Jesus, Buddha's ministry was well funded and he had followers that wrote down what he said, when he said it. Before Buddha died, there were temples and monasteries already in place and were teaching Buddha's words and ways.
It is well documented that these writings originated within the time frame of around 500 BC and are written in Sanskit.
If you can't see the similarities between the 2 teaching, then I feel sorry for you and your small little closed mind.

Absolutely. Good thing I'm not in charge of the gate.
True compassion is saying it even when it will piss them off and make them treat you like crap.
