Life on other planets - consequences

[LostLegend]

They'll twist and turn to fit religion around any such discoveries.
They've been setting the ground-work for years:

The pope has said that he would baptise a Martian – but would they want our religions?

Steve Rose: Pope Francis has speculated as to what would happen if an expedition of extraterrestrials wanted to convert to Christianity, but they're probably closer to God than we are anyway

The real danger would come from extremists who could possibly claim proof of life outside our planet to be some sort of satanic deception.
We're not short of stupid people on this planet (Or on this website for that matter)

"The Martian's, that's what they call them, they do, the Martians...
Coming here from Mars...

I don't think we should... we're gonna send them to Venezuela

And I've just signed an executive order placing a 50% tariff on all Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator imports
It's about time these green people... have you seen them? they're so green! start paying their fair share, they've treated us so badly in the past, so badly, they really have, but now that stops!

Some one came up to me and said "Sir, you know the cows, they kill these things, you know, they kill the cows and the sheep," Did you know this? I didn't know this "they take pieces of them" do you know where to? I don't know where to... nobody knows where to. They just beam them up and *poof* gone, just like that... The cows, the sheep, it's terrible, it really is"

Yes that’s true it’s also true that quite a lot of people believe in God and follow that religion and get a lot of comfort from it.

Can just imagine the headlines on GB News. “Stop the spaceships and send them to the moon”.

I assume the 10% tariff applies?

Genesis holds no boundaries, I guess.

Certainly not when Peter Gabriel was still in the band.

But God made us in his image,

Who else made them ?
