This might seem a bit of a strange question but anyway.
With there pretty much being an infinite number of stars and planets, it's pretty much a certainty that alien lifeforms exist. Eventually we will come into contact with them, could be tomorrow, could be in the year 3753 (provided we haven't blown the world up by then).
But, essentially I was wondering how the existence of aliens impacts on your religous beliefs?
Also, what if we contacted them tomorrow, and discovered that they had no belief in any Gods, would this change your beliefs any

If they make contact, or have made contact, I think that an intelligent Species would come at us slowly. That is if their intentions are peaceful. I don't think the human psyche could wrap itself around the concept, not yet anyway. They don't have to believe in Deities, their mind and ways would be "Alien". I don't know if we could understand their thought processes, or they ours. Something to think about! >^..^<

i reckon u'd have to be a pretty narrow mined fool to believe that in all of space we are the only living species, us on Earth. i'd love to meet an alien, their beliefs would most likely be so different from ours, could be interesting. but if i found that they had no belief in gods, why should it make any difference? i know people here who dont believe in god/s, and it doesnt bother me!!
i hope we make contact with them tomorro!! lol

I don't.. They're scary.. I don't care if they don't believe in anything or everything.. as long as they don't come near me i'm fine.. I think i've had too many nightmares involving aliens to ever be comfortable around them..

I dont believe in those scary green monsters but I believe in higher beings, its just not possible that in the whole of this vast universe we are the only beings. There has got to be other life forms out there were just too dumb to discover them lol, their probably laughing at us. Does anyone believe in a paralell universe or dimension? Just wondering!

I believe in Aliens, I think that as big as this universe is that there has to be something else out there. There are just too many stories from all over the world for there not to be.

I believe that anything is possible I think that the idea of other dimensions etc is just a different way to explain the astral planes.

I'm with you on the scary green monsters thing...Movies can just get down right goofy at times with aliens that just kill...They don't even know why...Just for the evilness of it all I suppose...That type of alien I too have a bit of difficulty swallowing. I believe it was the movie contact that said, "If we are alone, then it's an awful waste of space". And no, it wouldn't effect my beliefs any.

Yeh thats what I think too. They probably have tryed to make contact we arent developed enough to recieve it and some humans wont believe or understand iff they do make contact.
