What rot. Please refrain from poisoning anymore people in their belief in goodness, love, and morality. It is ironic when an un-indoctrinate fool of the mysteries attempts subversion. If ET left for any reason, it was out of respect for faith and belief in a higher power. Why would they take an atheist or scientific view? It's often inhumane - concerned with the few and against the many. All those "lesser humans" would be done away with if those without faith had their way. Not to mention extreme regime control over child-birth, age limitation, and intelligence.
Atheism is the way to hell on earth. But that is just my inane opinion.
I'm not "poisoning" anyone by simply telling them my understanding of the situation.
By being "un-indoctrinated" I am capable of critical thinking on the subject. In case you don't remember, the word "indoctrination" means: "teaching someone to accept doctrines uncritically."
I think not being indoctrinated is a good thing.
Why would any extraterrestrial being be affected by someone else's belief in a "higher power"? It certainly doesn't have any effect on their technology or their understanding of physical reality.
You certainly aren't going to be able to travel the stars by simply belief that you can. It takes critical research and experimentation to gain the understanding necessary to travel the stars. If they find evidence of a "higher power" then they will see that it exists... and that's about it seeing as it won't affect them in any physical way.
I'm not one who would likes to limit my family (humanity) even if I have problems with them. I am of the those who try to find methods of experimentation that are of the least possible harm to any living creature.
I do have a heart you know. I'm just as emotional about things as the next guy and I probably care a lot more than the next guy. I don't cry because I'm supposed to, I cry because of my empathy towards a situation. People who experience me tend to think of me as a really nice guy (especially the ladies ) and see me as fairly sensitive and empathetic. Although I seem cold and calculative towards certain social situations (economic mainly) I never lose my empathy of the human cost.
I really don't think it's necessary to defend myself seeing as I know who I am and you don't.
However, its still nice to talk about it I think.

I am not saying this to make you feel like an idiot. But have you ever heard of lucid dreaming? I mean, i am pretty sure an ET would rip you to shreds.

The next thing I notice is that the entity had another one just like it behind me and when I started quoting scriptures and mentioning the words Jesus Christ. I felt it get really disgusted at my using the name of Jesus. It was angry and disgusted.
