Before going on I would like to say I am a christian.

Im just saying that for all of our preach about infidels, heathens, and the like were probably going to go up to heaven and hear some name weve never heard before, and be damned to hell for not worshipping the "Nine spirits of the Departed Gods" or something along those lines. I know the bible says we alone are gods chosen people, but isnt that what the aliens book would probably say to? So in the end we are probably all screwed anyway, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Atheists, Agnostics, Buddhists, etc...

Thank you for listening to my rant.

(Yes this is partly a joke, but in essence its what I think)

I'd convert to Great Green Arkleseisurism. *nod*

What if the aliens believe in our religion? What if they created us and are our religions? What if God is gigantic soul devouring machine and his Angels are all aliens intent on killing us all? Many things we know not.

What if the aliens are intent on converting, and then destroying those who werent right. And after all that you go to hell because we were right all along, now that would suck.

That's a nasty(and in my opinion, very overrated) cough you've got there, Blarg.

Agnostics claim to not know. That is the very meaning of the word. It comes from the Greek agnôstos, unknown or unknowable, in turn from a- and gnôstos, known. And Buddhism really is more of a philosophy than a religion. There are some religious Buddhists, but that is not necessarily part of their beliefs.

P.S. My name, Gnostikos, does not mean "learned" or "known" or anything like that. It is Greek, gnôstikos, which means "of knowledge".

Its not overrated, its very fun, but now back on topic.

"No one has ever withstood our might."

I'd be into that.

Seeing as we have no confirmed knowledge of society of extraterrestrial biological entities. It is not a logical process to extrapolate facts about their religion.

As human beings, you are making many assumptions about extraterrestrials. Possibly due to Hollywood, whose sole intent is to produce a profit by providing a easily consumable entertainment experience.

What? Your so serious,(your ruining the mood) just try to be happy and expect that unfortunatly, your fucked almost certainly no matter what you do or how hard you try.

Who says the aliens would have a book?

too much smoking. cough. hack. blah.

Or whatever doesnt really matter

Chances are, some alien culture in existance has, at least at some point, invented the notion of the supernatural as well in SOME form.

But chances are, some alien culture is based around yoinking at trees.

No big deal.

repent!! for the coming of the hrung is upon us!! be strong, for it hath not yet collapsed.

or perhaps:

the three-headed goat of doom comes to swallow our planet, you have been chosen to lead the colinization effort.
