There is, however, a third point of view that usually produces a baffling response: when the members of the binary crowd hear it, they start treating you like a wacko. Really?
So, here goes...

I like that. We have been warned about that for more than a few years (like 3000+)
And even atheist Whitley Strieber (in "Communion") came to the immediate conclusion that ET's are demonic and absolutely malevolent.
Not to push Carl Sagan, but he did surmise that the distances were far to great. Interdimentional makes more sense even if it is harder to grasp
Of course, believing this makes one a REAL wacko. Scripture speaks of us wrestling “not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
I would note that I have not seen ONE film, read ONE book or heard of ONE channeling re: extraterrestrials that preached “Jesus Christ and him crucified”. They all, without fail, preach the Universal Vague Religion of Satan.
One might say our era has been buttered up for the appearing of SOMETHING, claiming to come in peace and love!
