as this idiot up there thinks^^^^^

A christian would deny that it was an alien, because the think aliens ‘unlikely’ to exist, as they are technicaly possilbe to exist in this world, but there is no proof. And insted they would say it was the devil or demons, something which is both impossible in this universe and there is no proof of, i believe chirstians are fine to keep there opinions to them selves but in reality they are just being foolish as wasting your life devoting to something which almost definately doesn’t exist is more stupid than saying if there is anything else in this universe, then we will wait till evidence before we act, and if god does exist but never interfers with our lives, then why worship him as he obviously doesn’t want us to know he exists or worship him otherwize he would get his ass down here and make a scene. What christians refuse to understand is athiests is that we are not anti-god, we just don’t think he exists, thats quite neutral.

Anything that would manifest itself as an alien would be regarded as a demon by most Christians and would be rejected as evil.

Every religious group out there would just try to convert them. A few of the UFO cults would start jumping up and down and saying, “see? We told you God was an alien!” and still not get it. Scientology would immediately declare them as SPs and minions of Xenu. It would be fun to watch.

I didn’t read the question body but it wouldn’t change anything. I believe aliens exist. I believe there are small forms of life on a lot of planets. I don’t think that they’ll get here anytime soon though. From what I’ve studied you need so super fucking advanced technology to travel through space like it is portrayed in sci-fi that or you need to wrinkle space and time. But I honestly don’t think anyone, even if they’re more advanced than we are, have that.

We can see 300 billion (or is it million) light years around us. That’s a pin prick compared to the whole of space and we can’t even make it that far.

But if they did show up I would welcome them(assuming they’re peaceful) and try and get the world to do the same.

EDIT-Why do we automatically assume that something “strange or mystical” or something that we plain don’t know is more advanced? I honestly would assume that maybe some advancement but have you ever read anything on how complicated it would be to travel billions and billions of light years and still be alive by the time they got there? Also, just because they would be aliens doesn’t mean that they would live millions of years. Maybe aging difference but yeah. That’s my argument. I’ve looked all this stuff up. I believe that there are aliens. Just not in the Sci-Fi we’re so much better than you way.

I didn’t say they were immortal though. I’m just saying that the technology to travel space like we want to is really damn advanced. Yes, other civilizations on other planets could have it but it’s highly unlikely. You would literally have to wrinkle time OR put people into stasis and have an autopilot ship. Still, it’s a bit implausible to me. But to each their own.

Why would the existence of aliens destroy faith?

I am pretty sure that if an advanced alien civilization showed up here, Theism would actually multiply beyond belief.

We’d know they were demons pretending to be aliens.

Christians would try and convert them.
When they found out that, as intelligent, rational beings (as they would have to be if they made it here) they do not understand why anyone would believe in a fairy story with no proof, they would claim them to be the Devil’s Minions and try to kill them all.

EDIT: For evidence, see @Matthew’s answer
