Religions are facing tremendous challenges to their belief systems. Today science has shown that humans share almost the same DNA with other living beings. Science now has the ability to create chimeras, or human animal hybrids. They are likely doing so in secret government/corporate experiments.

Also science is in the process of creating artificial intelligence that will likely have its own sense of self and consciousness. This too has probably also been accomplished in secret black op projects.

Now I am not advocating any of this. But the truth is that the technology is there, or soon to be there, and religions will have to come to terms with it.

Religions will have to find a way to integrate the information from this "brave new world" into their belief systems. Previously I have reported on how the Catholic Church is preparing for the eventual mass acceptance of the UFO reality. They have talked of our "ET brothers" and how we all share the same God.

But clearly some religions and those that have no religion will have an easier time integrating the UFO reality and other technological innovations into their belief system.


....It is tempting to wonder which of the Earth’s religions will do better in accepting the existence of extraterrestrials and perhaps other-dimensionals. This is a purely subjective exercise. I might guess that the Hindus with their avatars and multiple deities would adjust without too much panic.
I also feel the Buddhists have a cosmic mindset which does not include a hierarchy of actual gods or god; each individual strives to become the god spark within, fully, completely. This might serve one well when meeting an alien whom, you hope, also has that spark of the creator.

Pagans, who come in a variety of specific beliefs, include the living spirit of Mother Earth as a

part of the cosmic wonder of the all-that-is. It would seem that the more tolerant and adaptable one’s basic beliefs, the less one would panic to meet life forms from Elsewhere.

How will agnostics and atheists do? Probably ok, who knows

None, I hope.

I think the Quakers could handle it. Anyone ever been to the Quaker meeting? It's all meditation. Nothing on the agenda. If anyone feels moved to speak, they do. Otherwise, it's a deep silence.

My husband is full of sayings, here's his Quaker one, from a child's perspective:

'Quaker meeting has begun,
No more laughing, no more fun
If you show your teeth or tongue,
you'll have to pay a forfeit.'

It is pretty boring I guess to a child, but for grownups it's a time to be at peace and ponder.

The other church I have experience with, that may understand, is the Congregational church, or UCC. They are the Puritans who first came to America back in the 1600's. They've come a long way, baby, from those days. Although it's a Christian religion, beyond that you can believe as your heart tells you. Often the message has to do with cutting edge discoveries of the human mind and spirit. They were among the first to have women ministers and to welcome gay and lesbian people. Now I guess we are 'the gay church.' I was surprised to hear that designation not too long ago, and if someone says, oh you go to the gay church, I guess I 'll have to say a big YES! When we began to attract a significant number of gay and lesbian members, some straight people were worried that we might become the minority. I said, then let's see how it feels to be in the minority for a change ... very humbling perhaps. But it has turned out to be a good balance, and a richer experience for all.

So wouldn't you think a group like that might have a open spot for ET too?

PS: This is the church that helped me to begin growing spiritually all those years ago when I was so wounded. Although I don't feel I have to attend now, I still do, irregularly, because they are wonderful people to be around, and we can do some good in the world together.

My sister whom I love dearly is a strong Jehovah Witness and firmly believes what the " brothers" of the kingdom hall,there place of worship is called this, tell them. Now the Witnesses are talking about there could be life on other planets. She ask me once about E.T.'s and I rolled off about the Annunaki and she totally tripped and "didn't want to hear about it". I think some people will accept it others would still stick to their religion no matter what.

T4M, I agree that most religions will not be able to handle it. It would totally freak them out. They have blinders on, that's why they are so attached to a set of practices that hems them in ... feels safe to them. Spoken by one who's been there. :)

All love,

I believe spirituality is the key to everything. "I love you" no matter your stand on religion,sexual preference, but I do follow the laws of logic and creation.....and the highest form of creation is creation itself....

The religion that will be able to handle it the most is paganism - one of the oldest, if not the oldest, religion still practiced today. The illuminati went to great efforts over many centuries to wipe them out (for the exact same reasons they tried to wipe out native earth-based people world wide) and spread many lies about pagans and witches - sill believed today. Witchcraft and Satanism are two ENTIRELY different religions. Pagans do not believe in Satan only pan who was represented as a goat which they later turned into satan to suit their smear campain!!

It appears that Buddism has a cosmology that dwarfs modern cosmology. Compassion is the fundamental attribute of the Buddha and other deities, and typically a buddist encompasses suffering and tries hard through reicarnations to achieve Buddhahood. There is the concept of equality of all life forms. All these probably would make a Buddist monk or devouted buddist unafraid of coming face to face with an alien. Besides, believing there is no real evil asides from that is in your mind may actually attract only benign aliens to come. (On the contrary, christian belief of devil does the negative attraction)

Well, I guess all of them could handle that. They´ll just call them brothers and that´s fine. Religion is proven to be sometimes very "flexible" from time to time.

However, if it´s proven that the human race was indeed created directly by ET´s genetic manipulation, everything they say, specially the Christians, will go down the drain. If it´s proven that the Bible´s angels were indeed ETs, if it´s proven that Jesus was a hybrid and Mary was abducted, if it´s proven that the bethlehem star was a space craft, etc...

I think that all religons will adopt. Some sooner than others. There are some already where UFO encounter is anticipated, not as a general doctirne of the church but because the people who attend them are so forward thinking and unlimited in their belief of possibilitites... such as Unity Church, Church of Religious Science, Unitarian Church, most Native American practices and the Native American Church and the Church of Christ... and probably a host of others I have no name for.

The Vatican has already made its stance on the issue which has prepared countless millions and millions for the introduction to alien beings.
Fundamentals will have the hardest time but they will adopt as humans have an incredible ability to adopt to the changes the world presents, especially if it affects their livelihood and income. Then more isolated and extreme fundamentals will have the hardest time. Hindus and Buddhists will have no difficulty. Muslims is an unknown to me as I know little of their temperment.

a few people will go off the wall. A few people go off the wall every day. So what else is new?

So taking all these groups into account it seems to me that there will be minimal difficulty in light of what a huge revelation it will be.
For some religions or at least memebers of these religions it may bring about the letting go of old belief systems. Many religions will merely evolve in their teachings and presentations to the people to fit the times, as they have always done.

How big the changes will be in doctrines will largely be determined by what these ET beings present to our culture in science, philosophy and their own belief systems. What do we know? Maybe their presence will present to humanity the "proof" of a supreme being or a Christ. We must not assume that ETs are going to think like you or me or in any fashion leading towards science or away from science when it comes to such types of beliefs. We do not yet know what they know nor how they know it. We might be quite surprised, including those of us who lean against religion and towards science.
