So ... are we supposed to project only certain facets of a certain subset of all our human cultures from only a narrow time interval on E.T.'s everywhere? Not sure what we gain by that.

what i mean is like humans dont equally identify with lesser animals at all unless they are the literal goodall conservationist types or the animal is their pet.

and that if ET does the bit of conferring equal identity the possibility exists that its part of a domestication tactic.

How does that reflect back on the probability of E.T. visiting this corner of the galaxy?

Oh I see. You are saying, no matter what, if they can make it here, then they either have no interest in us as a species or their interests are bad.

But, that doesn't clear up the probability of them interacting with us if they were here.

well not entirely if they come here to guinely learn bout us thats pretty benign n not too bad

but yea most other reasons we end up as servants or livestocl if they dnt jus exterminate us thinking we are pests

I think what's more likely is that aliens or entienties from other realities are interacting with our reality

well yea i mean even religion goes over that in some aspects and very often. like even in christian sense god created the universe, and heaven and hell are both defined openly as different planes/realms.

@darth_brando Do you ever think about that hermetic principle, "as above, so below," when talking about heaven and hell?

well

i mean, theres good reason too

how does suck a diverse human, come from nothing but thin air?

with such a complex body, so many bones, internal organs, your brain, very fine detail down to the atom

you cant just think it all came from thin air

if it was possible

then why isn't every other planet

like that

not really i gave up my baptist roots mostly because personally i just dont believe anything is inherently good or evil. i do believe in "higher power" and the spirit/soul but not god vs satan and heaven vs hell. @Enn

its not

heaven vs hell

But isn't God both sides of the coin?

god does not want to destroy the devil, its a way of wanting to worship

and showing you what will hapen

if you dont

it sound alot worse and harsh than it actually is

if you dont go into depth

@0P0J um yes it is. revelations is the day of judgement the day satan and his demon hordes walk the earth and fight the armies of god led by christ and the angel gabriel.

they do not fight

the lord lets then destroy the earth

and when that day comes all the people that have worshipped him, and has followed his path, will be saved

thats what it says

(Isiah 45:7) " I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these *things*."

satans hebrew name Hasatan is literally "the opposer" this implies adversarial relations aka conflict

he creates evil

for an intent to make us become saved

if he is goign to fight for us either way

why follow him? He is not going to fight, he is goign to let them destroy earth. and the people that followed him adn worshipped him, will be saved from it

I pet goat 2

The adversity—or the ego—against the self (soul). The story of God and Satan are the two faces of Man (divine union); self, and other. You either are selfish or selfless, like Jedi and Sith—but both are needed to hold balance in the Force.

The devil

has no power over god
