Yep. E.T.s more plausible than God.

I think it's often because a belief in aliens and spirits and elves is less intellectually rigorous than Biblical study (though they'd deny that, never having studied the Bible).

In closing, I would like to say, that since we all agree that there is only one, all-powerful, God, I believe that He is quite capable of accomodating all His different believers, in their own manner, no matter how diverse, and even those of aliens, if they exist. Please have a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

I THINK the cosmology that's more eager to believe in ET's than God is predictable.

The ET's have asserted [so far] no insistance [in most cases] that the victims rigorously change their behaviors [apart from Whitley Strieber giving up ice cream because the changes in his body they were causing would make ice cream deadly--I think it was Strieber].

At least the ET's have not routinely gone on record against screwing around every night and twice on Saturday; infanticide; undermining your co-worker so you get the promotion; lying to look better temporarily; etc. etc. etc.

God, particularly Jesus' expression on THE GODHEAD, is an entirely other matter. We are enjoined to TAKE EACH THOUGHT CAPTIVE to the standard of His Love and Truth. Quite a challenge, that.

ET's are much easier on our psyche's, our arrogance and our selfish, destructive, greedy behaviors.
