Aliens (Angels or Demons?)

I am an athiest, but i will admit that there is a minute chance that i am wrong, i find it unlikely to the highest degree, but its possible, almost all things are possible....i suppose. Again though, odds are that 'god' is just a super evolved alien and not an eternal being.

Ahh the bible, i love it when people bring up the bible.

Where is your corroborating evidence in the bible that god has visited us. The bible is the work of man, re-written and translated again and again by man. Lets take etymology of a phrase for example. In the 60s you could say, "im going to lick you good", taken to mean im going to kick your ass. If you say the same thing now, a mere 50 years later, some thinks you are into some kinky gay stuff Even using the New Testament as an example, 2000 years is a VERY long time when it comes to evolving languages, and the style in which many of them are written are purely metaphorical, not to mention NOT ENGLISH NATIVE, who knows what political agenda the various translators have had, or what spin was put on it, intentional or not.

Taken as a collection of proverbs i will indeed say that the bible has some value, but as a concrete chronology of the world since the dawn of the time, one has no choice but to deny it. It is contradictory to say the least. How many versions are there? How many branches for christianity are there? How many religious institutions take the EXACT same passage from the bible and preach from it mutually exclusive opinions.

Just to bring up some hot button religion related issues......Abortion? There is nothing in the bible to endorse so called 'pro-life' position and in fact many passages where 'god' ordered his followers to kill pregnant women so that the sons of his enemies would not be born. Very similar for homosexuality, nothing explicitly says its a sin, nor even comes close, it was all about the buttsechs

In the end, you have no reliable, verifiable evidence that holy or unholy beings are or have walked among us. I cannot say that i have any proof either of aliens, but there are far more alleged alien visitations than there are alleged angel visitations; who is to say that they are not mutually exclusive anyways.

+1 to the flying spaghetti monster, i was wondering who was going to bring that up first.
