…with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven to exist out there?

    First of all, not all theists, in my experience, believe in the exact same things. Me, I don’t think God would punish people for the ‘slightest deviation from acceptable behaviour’.

    Second of all, don’t generalize. I’m aware that there are many self-proclaimed ‘Christians’ who oppress minorities, but not all. So please, no ad hominem :)

      1. Your Bible disagrees making you a heretic which according to the bible makes you worthy of death.

      2. Secondly I will generalize whatever I want whenever I feel like it. Especially considering by sheer numbers Christianity had the highest murder count and is active threat to me, my family, and friends. I don’t care about your True Scotsman unicorn Christian that is totally not made up.

      Hey remember when your Pope Pat Robertson said this

      The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.

      If Christianity vanished from the world tomorrow the only loss would be bingo games for the elderly.

      Have a nice day, praise Satan, and remember that God is dead.
