When these clearly superior beings that have advanced far beyond us come knocking, I am sure the first thing we should ask is - whether they accept Jesus as their lord and savior, as it seems very important to us.
- giardini 3y agoHow we should handle our first encounters has been asked before in an article titled: "Kill Them And Eat Them" (opinion) by Jules Siegel, illustrated by Doug Taylor in Playboy Magazine August 1977 vol.24, no.8 IIRC the article argues that: - every modern civilization has been a disaster for less-modern ones, - the only group that have survived encounters with modern civilization are the Yanomami Indians of the Amazon who have avoided cultural contamination by killing and eating anyone who intrudes upon their territory. Therefore... - we should adopt the Yanomamis' strategy in dealing with advanced civilizations. Perhaps you are right about Jesus. Perhaps Jesus and the Yanomami would be quite compatible. After all, when I was a teen we played guitars and sang songs at Mass. One relevant verse comes to mind: Eat His body, Drink His blood, And we'll sing A song of love, Allelu-, allelu-, allelu-, alleluia.
