[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 90249"] It's really good to see people discussing religion in such a civil manner. Considering it's like skating on thin ice, i have to applaud everyone here for being so mature about the way they are approaching their side of the discussion. I personally don't believe in God. I'm too selfish to believe there is alegedly something far greater than me. There's nothing greater than me, nor am i greater than anything else. Being equal doens't bother me, but being inferior and to be judged by something grinds my gears. I'm not well educated in religion, so these are strictly opinions. I think I remember my sister (a Jehovah's Witness) once told me that if there ARE aliens (or if we ever encounter any UFO sightings) then they are the work of the Devil...or soemthing like that. I hope i'm not misquoting her to sound like a freak, because she is countless times more intelligent than i, but for an idea so fantastic, for there to be actually BE other forms of life, just the idea of not being alone in this universe enlightens me. My mind opens and runs free. Intellectually, mentally, thoughtfully i have no restrictions. There are no boundaries when i think about other life forms, because nobody has ever taught anything about them (whether they exist or not). And if something has such a positively prodfound effect on me i begin to take a little offence if someone deems them as the work of what they regard as the Devil. It would be great if someone could enlighten me on how other life forms are perceived in religion. ...or an article i could read on it. [/QUOTE]
