Hello all,
I have one or two questions for those who have responded to BD's question in (more or less) the affirmative;
- Do you know any specific details about the aliens, such as their names, their capabilities or what their opinions might be?
- Do you think that the aliens care about us or have ideas about what they would like us to do with our lives?
- Do you believe that the aliens have sent us any messages, perhaps in a radio transmission or maybe a book?
- Do you believe that you can communicate with the aliens, or that they are in communication with you?
- Do you have a personal relationship with the aliens?
- Do you believe that aliens are responsible for the creation of the universe, the world, life or humanity?
- Do you believe that the aliens are able to defy the laws of nature?
- Do you consider your belief in the probable existence of aliens to be the most important consideration in your life?
- Do you, of a weekend, like to go to a large building with a lot of other alien enthusiasts and sing praises to the aliens?
- Have you ever donated money to any venture directed at alien life in any way?
- Have you ever insisted in a court of law that your local school put the aliens on their science curriculum?
- Do you think that those who belittle the aliens or mock belief in alien life should face criminal charges of any sort?
- Would you be willing to kill in the name of the aliens?
- Do you believe that, after your death, you will be transported to another planet to be with the aliens?
- Have you ever spent time going door-to-door, trying to convince others to believe in aliens?
- Do you believe that there was ever an individual who was both human and alien and that he loves you?
- Do you ever hang around on internet forums making inept attempts at ridiculing those who do not believe in aliens?
You get the idea. Answers on a postcard please.
