Don't you think this strange that some people believe aliens but not god? [Spirituality & Religion]
I thought that God/Allah etc was a word for a superior being??

Ah, the reason for that is simple.
Since the creation of faith (any faith)There has always been one human or more telling YOU what YOU should be doing. What YOU should be thinking. What YOU should be focusing your attention on. etc.
And it's THAT bit that causes so many to reject religion or faith or whatever you want to call it.
Aliens ? Well, real or not. No human DEMANDS that you follow a doctrine or dogma surrounding them.

@Picklebobble2: hey man I understand what you are saying but don't you think it would be crazy to dismiss something when so many people are saying the same thing at its core? You might disagree with religion but don't you think there is some sort of truth to all of this "stories" written by people who saw it with their own eyes.
Am sure though time people might have added their own " translations" to the information passed down with all the details in how we should life our lives but don't you think it would be crazy to say that there is no truth to all the bullshit?

@Curiousguy833: Interesting view, and I get where you're coming from !
But don't you think it a bit strange that these things were witnessed by so few ?
I mean, if you wanted to clearly demonstrate the power of one true God, wouldn't you do something in front of a football stadia full of people ? For example ?
Rather than such small groups of folk ??

I think it would be cool if there a demonstration in front of a full stadium of people to prove there was a one true God! ...but if you were a higher being e.g god why would you settle for a small show of power when you could show yourself to the whole world and get people to follow your will by force? Religious people would argue that god had done that with beings like angels...they were perfect in every way but they didn't have free will. So he created us and put us on this universe to see if will would follow principles/ order (which got changed though time like the Chinese whispers lol)
You might think that the idea of a higher being which is capable of creating all that we know is far fetched but the irony is that we see it all the time when you look at creatures like dogs, fish, ants etc. imagine trying to explain to this creature that you a small human, created something like a skyscraper lol
Even in science there is so many things that we don't even know, for explain we don't even truly know "what" is? All we know this effects of it and have created up our explanation of what we see or the fact that the universe is make up 90% of dark matter and we don't even know what it is! Lol
All I am saying is that we can't be close minded as a people, and there is no thing as too much knowledge. Am always willing to listen if people information that makes sense..
