It is OK to believe in aliens

[Boyo_Jim]

I knew it! We have all misinterpreted the sodomy “scandal”. In reality, they are rectal probes ordered by alien visitors.

Forget about the Gelgamecks!?

Ah, this is phase two of the master plan.

First they come up with this whole god thing and create a cult, second part they say “hey, aliens are A-OK, you can believe in them”; that means that the third phase is closing near, when the pope will be revealed to be a reptilian shape shifter from Eta Carinae 9 that came to Earth over 2000 years ago to enslave all humanity.

Doesn’t surprise me a bit. Guy Consolmagno (mentioned in Cliff Stoll’s second book) is in the Vatican observatory. Guy was Honseck at the MIT Science Fiction Society when I was there.

The interesting thing to consider is the state of their salvation. Paging C. S. Lewis. Paging James Blish.

Can’t speak for Blish, but Lewis considered it entirely possible that if there were aliens out there, they might have never suffered the Fall, and so far from needing us to bring the message of salvation, might be better off without being contaminated. (Essay “Religion and Rocketry”, though I forget which essay collection it was published in.)

That said, Perelandra addresses the question interestingly by having Earthmen being the messengers of both damnation and salvation to newly-peopled Venus.
