I wish aliens would just come forward. This crap is getting old. The what ifs and are we alone questions are killing me.

Maybe that 9 hour moon walk was a little too long.  Either way I will blame Will Smith for the cover up.

I believe aliens exist, but it is extremely naive to think that they look anything like the "little green men" stereotype that is out there. It's so remote that they followed a path of similar biological evolution to have arms, legs, eyes, etc. of any kind. This is where the astronauts credibility went out the window for me.

I particulary enjoy this comment:
"Doesn't hollywood have a lot to answer for, is it coincidence that the english speaking world that has seen more UFO/Alien movies, in colour (so it must be true) are the ones that see the most UFOs. You only have to spend 10 minutes with any random american and you'll understand that they are too dumb to have kept this under cover. Yes they got a man on the moon, I didn't say they weren't rich and persistant."

I always thought it would be pretty egotistical to NOT believe in life on other planets...
When Carl Sagan was asked about life on other planets he said, "Well, if there wasn't, it'd be an awful waste of space"

I actually feel for them because if the truth did finally get revealed on a mass scale they are going to have the hardest time dealing with it.

I'm not sure what Dogma they are subsribing to, but the Catholic Church has recently stated that 'ET' may actually exist....which leads me to believe that they may be getting out in front of something.

Catholics are pretty "new-age" overall. I'd suspect that even before the church said it was ok to believe in ET's that a much higher percentage of Catholics believed in ET vs. say Baptists or other very conservative groups. (IE people that believe in literal translation of bible, 6,000 year old earth, man lived with dinosaurs, etc.)

Well....I guess I'm one of those "literal" guys when it comes to my biblical faith. I would have to read more on the Catholic Church and their apparent acceptance of there potentially being ET's. Funny, when the reading the Bible, it doesn't really make room for the ET's in the creation model...the fact Catholics may be leaning towards ET's make wonder and have even more questions concerning their "church."
Until the government comes clean with all of the hard evidence they are sitting on or I have a personal visit from some ET's and see their spaceship, I think I'll with stay with....."In the beginning, God

This kind of stuff fascinates me. Has anyone seen something in the sky that they were suspicious of? I have.

In a nutshell the Catholic church has said that ET's would have been created by God as well and that they could be free from original sin. Basically saying that discounting the possible existance of ET would be like putting God's power into a box.

Honest question larrysArmy: If there was a massive disclosure would it force you to re-consider your faith?
For me it would not. I believe in the death and resurrection of Christ and having ET out there does not change that belief.
