However, I don't see, since you speak of Jesus, where do the other religions fit in? They are evil? Oh, right.. there are no other gods... and this is the objectivity you have?
Its not about objectivity, it's about being righteous and dismantling all that is evil. Those other religions can join our battle now but in the end they must repent for there is only one true God and one Jesus.
I'm not sure what you mean by other "religions", but it is obvious that christianity is the one true religion. What else is there? Islam? Evil. Buddhism? Seriously? The Hindu gods are cool looking and all but they look like aliens and therefore, evil. Jews, I'm on the fense about them. They are like half evil since Jesus was Jewish. Scientology? Evil no doubt. Now we have to sort through all the different evil Christian religions the Mormons. WTF is that?
You have a point.
The question is concerned with whether these beings seem to be evil by a broad consensus. Are you familiar with the work of Dr. Karla Turner?

Still trying to DEMAND that ATS and the universe
conform to
YOUR assumptions, biases, rigidities, blather . . .
I see.
Time will tell how functional that turns out to be, in terms of the bottom line.
I'm sure God is impressed with your judgments of HIm and His ways of doing things. /sarc

My key point in this debate is that yes, aliens on other planets may exist (perhaps as imagined by CS Lewis) - but the evil SOBs buzzing round the globe and manifesting in bedrooms, abusing people in trance states etc, they certainly aren't what we could term 'simple extraterrestrial'. They have an agenda, and are wilfully seeking more and more control over Humanity, often via proxy leaders installed among us. Demonic, through & through, imho.
So you think all humans are evil then? Given the way we treat primates, remove their scalps stick electrodes into them, fill their eyes with chemicals to check it won't harm us, then by the definitions constantly quoted in this thread we are "evil"..

Well, the monkeys would think we were evil if they had such a concept. If you sneak in my house in the middle of the night to try to take my sperm, you are evil and a killing would be righteous. Those are my sperm, not the aliens sperm. I am sure if they asked politely, they would have no problem.

The study and practices of a one Alistair Crowley"s occult thesis namely "MAGIK IN THEORY AND PRACTICE" is one level of consciousnesses reached through the act of just reading the book,it manifests a perception in that most powerful realm called the "SUBCONSCIOUS" were the real effects or desires of the act of "RITUAL" or "CEREMONIAL MAGIK" are achieved and reached by actually studying that book never mind actual higher states of consciousnesses reached through doing the actual rituals outlined in that book. This is of the uttermost importance in truly being able to differentiate between those states of awareness upon awakening from that realm we all call the dream word... "my father has many mansions" is more significant from a purely occult understanding...
Every thing can be manipulated through auto suggestions or those rituals aimed at the subconscious, advertising methods are aimed at the subconsciousness and so is occult based rituals... Those experiencing abduction or contact are in fact experiencing forms of occult interactions from higher intelligence's from various dimensions , some ET in origin some from higher realms of the astral occult realms... We are in our current evolution in comparison to these intelligence's viewed like children, we are are being forced kicking and screaming from our sleep walking into a state of higher awareness .... take the zoo mentality, we are being systematically genetically and spiritually modified ....
anyone who has studied or even practiced the occult will know this.. the occult teaches the dreamer to be AWARE that he/she is the dream and is dreaming, to be fully awake in this realization or consciousness one must be aware that one is actually dreaming in the first place... take those dreams that are very vivid and when upon awaking from them in that nano second one cannot differentiate between dreaming or awake ,in fact one thinks in that nano second one is not dreaming but awake and in that reality as one is just now in reading this post, now imagine that state of awareness in that nano second having no bondage's of TIME in fact time is considered as an abstract concept now how is one to ever fully be aware or be conscious of the differentiation of that nano second upon awaking from such a dream when in that realm the astral time IS an abstract conception, how could one differentiate?????..
the occult teaches one to reach the acquired awareness that enablers one to not only control but be aware of the different realms of consciousness or awareness .... this is were the true primary problems are in dealing with such topics as abduction or contact with intelligence, one must learn to walk first before one can run so to speak, ridicule and smart know all attitudes aimed at those who have achieved occult AWARENESS or those claiming a abduction are looked upon as nothing more than a child's inquisitiveness and lack of coherent mature understanding and experience of those realms...
Dr John Mack in his investigations and conclusions he reached from them realized that we are dealing with intelligence's from a realm that we all originate from on a cosmic and universal perspective , when people have the guts to claim abduction those mocking them have in reality no real understanding of the situations involved ... "SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND, KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN"... occult utterances and references to the inner realms....

Crowley said that the Abramelin procedure was not the only way to achieve success in this endeavor:
It is impossible to lay down precise rules by which a man may attain to the knowledge and conversation of His Holy Guardian Angel; for that is the particular secret of each one of us; as secret not to be told or even divined by any other, whatever his grade. It is the Holy of Holies, whereof each man is his own High Priest, and none knoweth the Name of his brother's God, or the Rite that invokes Him. (Book 4, "One Star in Sight")
Since the operation described in “Abramelin” is so complex and requires time and resources not available to most people, Crowley wanted to provide a more accessable method. While at the Abbey of Thelema in Italy, he wrote Liber Samekh, a ritual designed specifically for attaining the Knowledge and Conversation with one’s HGA. In his notes to this ritual, Crowley sums up the key to success: “INVOKE OFTEN.”
He also explains, in more detail, the general mystical process of the ritual:
The Adept will be free to concentrate his deepest self, that part of him which unconsciously orders his true Will, upon the realization of his Holy Guardian Angel. The absence of his bodily, mental and astral consciousness is indeed cardinal to success, for it is their usurpation of his attention which has made him deaf to his Soul, and his preoccupation with their affairs that has prevented him from perceiving that Soul.
The effect of the Ritual has been
to keep them so busy with their own work that they cease to distract him;
to separate them so completely that his soul is stripped of its sheaths;
to arouse in him an enthusiasm so intense as to intoxicate and anesthetize him, that he may not feel and resent the agony of this spiritual vivisection, just as bashful lovers get drunk on the wedding night, in order to brazen out the intensity of shame which so mysteriously coexists with their desire;
to concentrate the necessary spiritual forces from every element, and fling them simultaneously into the aspiration towards the Holy Guardian Angel; and
to attract the Angel by the vibration of the magical voice which invokes Him.
The method of the Ritual is thus manifold.
Another detailed description of the general operation is given in The Vision and the Voice, Aethyr 8.
Crowley felt that attaining Knowledge and Conversation was so important, that he staked the claim that any other magical operation was, in a sense, evil. In Book 4 (Ch. 21) he explains:
As was said at the opening of the second chapter, the Single Supreme Ritual is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. It is the raising of the complete man in a vertical straight line...Any other operation is black magic...If the magician needs to perform any other operation than this, it is only lawful in so far as it is a necessary preliminary to That One Work.
He then softens his position somewhat:
There are, however many shades of grey. It is not every magician who is well armed with theory. Perhaps one such may invoke Jupiter, with the wish to heal others of their physical ills. This sort of thing is harmless, or almost so. It is not evil in itself. It arises from a defect of understanding. Until the Great Work has been performed, it is presumptuous for the magician to pretend to understand the universe, and dictate its policy.
The implication is that only magick devoted to the spiritual evolution of the individual and their attunement to the global and cosmic Will is honorable and in line with the ultimate goals of Thelema. Any magick that is self-serving or results-oriented is regarded as impure and in contradiction to the necessary evolution of the species.

I am afraid, the bias does not come from me.
Then came the age of Enlightenment, the time when it was seen what actually is in the center of the system, a lot of things that were explained as magic, could be explained with more natural explanations/
You have to admit when it comes to this, the approach to explain things in more rational way, is a good way.
Enlightenment PROVED RELIGION WRONG,
try it i dare you , the occult is very real and so are the realms you visit that you perceive as nothing more than a unrelated muddle of dreams
Nothing to do with satan, that is a Christian myth, lets keep that in perspective....
Again were is the undisputed evidence that rules out any possibility of ET intelligence's out there having the means to orchestrate a sophisticated stealth observational agenda .....
