Not spelling God is some form of pseudo respect?

It's a Jewish tradition. And it's not pseudo-respect; it's real.

He may have put life on other planets, but WE are the only intelligent life.

Got proof?

and the aliens have a sense organ with a pinhole lens that focuses the molecules. Smell and imaging.

See? Right there you have an alien "sense" that is strictly based in a human context - - "Smell and imaging."

The point is that everything that we have the capacity to imagine and discuss must, by definition, be based in a human context. Imagining "other possible senses" can surely be done as an intellectual exercise, but that exercise is obviously severely limited.

This is a very difficult topic to discuss (intelligently). Keep in mind that things like, "physical body" and "thought" are human concepts. We cannot separate ourselves from our only point of reference - - our "human-ness". Other "beings" (ha!, another human concept) which "exist" (there we go again....) in separate realities may have no physical attributes nor any ability for thought as parts of their essence.

Sorry if I sound crazy, but I think about this stuff from time to time and it usually makes my head feel like exploding. So, that's it for today.

I understand what you're saying, but there are some 'philosophical arguments' that I think any intellectually honest person would have to accept as evidence for the existence of God. One I am thinking of is the absurdity of an infinite regression of past events as proof of a starting point for time, which can only be caused by something that is itself outside of time. Another is natural law/common law/moral conscience as an indicator of objective morality and purpose for individual existence.
