I never understood how and why my atheist friends growing up believed in aliens all while totally bashing the idea of "God."

The possibility of there being an extraterrestrial life form in this universe is vastly greater than there being an invisible cosmic all-powerful omniscient being that has a personal relationship with each individual on the planet Earth.

But that's only one very specific concept of "God". God has been defined and redefined in so many ways... try not to look at the specifics. Grasp the general point of it all. Some say God is in all of us (5%ers). Some say God is above all of us ("the big 3"). Some say God is below us (Dionysus, Hades, Satan, Baphomet, etc). Some say God is in the world around us (Wicca). Most say those very same things about aliens.....right?

The fact that the question is being asked in the context of what we know NOW (i.e. a limitless universe) makes your argument of equating belief in aliens and belief in other nonsense suchOriginally Posted by Murda He

People believe that God is above the clouds, a big face looking upon us.
It is possible to believe in other life forms (NOT "aliens" necessarily) in outer space man.
I don't believe in God, I don't believe there's a heaven and hell.
But I do know for a FACT that we haven't even discovered 10% of our world's UNDERWATER, but we choose to go outer space for "information".
It's practically a known fact that there is life out there Rilla, whether they look like green people, or look like us.
You guys can not sit here & compare people believing that there are other life forms, and people believing in God.
It is just not the same.
Yes it is... the only thing we "know" about aliens has been just recently discovered. But for the longest, if not longer, people have BELIEVED whatever they chose to. It's all the same. Aliens, God, tooth fairies, vampires... it's all the same. The %$$! is more alive in our minds and on paper than in reality, as far as we can prove. And the kicker is that I actually believe in God as a concept as well as aliens. I'm just aware that whatever is "the infallible truth about all things "was clouded in myths, religion, dictatorships, and superstitions A LONG time ago. I can't tell you what your response is supposed to be. Should you long for Aliens? IDK... what about God? IDK that either. I hate to play the gender card lil lady, but your emotional response to God/Aliens is so typical of all women. Regardless of how you feel about it, it is what it is though lil sis... and it's all the same. I call my God "Jesus", even though I'm fully aware that a lot of Christian lit is plagiarized dogma from the tombs in Egypt. I CHOOSE not to care. What's the point?? Someone else says Allah.. that FOREVER dude on here says Aliens... whatever... all of it places a premium level of importance on an intangible authority, whichever way you look at it. We justify it according to religion, or science, or whatever we choose... but it's all a choice. Any level of belief is just that, a choice. Nothing more...
as "God", tooth faeries, etc. invalid.
As you said, it would have been the same before we had current cosmic and biological knowledge. But knowing what we know now, you can't say that belief in aliens is the same as other
belief in things for which we have no evidence.

Well, I don't believe in a god either way. Until someone can present some compelling evidence that backs up their claim, I refuse to accept the notion.
Also keep in mind that the word "alien" is a very broad term used to define ALL extraterrestrial beings. A simple sulfur-based bacteria would be considered an alien. In that sense, an alien is much, much more likely.

[h2]Why is it easy to believe in God, but hard to believe in aliens? [/h2]
Because God is amazing, didn't you read his epic comic book? Look at the size of his feet, who makes his sandals?
His son can make party platters of infinite fish, bread and Crystal out of water.
There's no possible way guys as ugly as those aliens exist. Ugly beings with the ingenuity of space travel through dimensions
and atmosphere come here just to fight and enslave us. Because God made us in his own image, blond hair, blue eyed
carpenters that look like a Criss Angel.
God is great! Praise him and live in poverty and cancer and sacrifice your children to prove you love him ...or defy him and he'll send a flood and starvation.
He's awesome! What church do I sign up at so I can get anally violated by men entrusted by God to do his will.

Its kind of crazy how much we developed yet we still believe in some of these almost primitive religions. Like honestly? Kneeling and saying stuff is going to get you a job as an accountant?
