Food for Thought?

Barbara seems to think we have only two options here: number one is that we accept that imaginary creatures who we’ve never seen, and for whom we have exactly zero evidence, will save our bacon, and number two – ‘the other side of the coin’ – is that we blow ourselves to smithereens. The way I see that picture is that we may as well kiss our asses goodbye right now.
And, y’know Barbara, even if the aliens do exist, I’m not too sure we are advanced enough to handle their presence. In all likelihood, if they set their saucers down on Planet Earth – especially in the good ol’ US of A – they’re likely to get a cap popped up their oviducts. In case you missed it, I’ve aired my views on the aliens-visit-humans scenario previously on TCA and I’m not too sure about being all palsy with them.
It’s less a case of food for thought, than the possibility of us being food for them.
But heck. Congratulations anyway to The Sun for its reporting of UFOs. Someone has to do it.
(Oh, I just noticed that Barbara says ‘They have never harmed us in any big way’… I guess she’s covering her ass, here, so to speak – some people aren’t real happy about the anal probes.)

With thanks to Omenater for digging this one up.

I can’t make any further comments until I understand what type of coin Barbara was using.
Some type of polygon, I presume.
“Aliens and UFOs can work hand in hand with religion”…I’m drawing a long bow here in assuming that Bardara follows some branch of a christian faith (reference to “revelations” being a dead giveaway), so I’m guessing that only christian aliens have been flitting through our night skies.
Come to think of it, she’s right! Imaginary creatures…religion…aliens…hmmm.
Yes, I’m prepared to speculate that Barbara wouldn’t be all that thrilled if the aliens chummied up to the Muslims.
I wonder if maybe aliens aren’t like zombie connosieurs, only coming to planets that hit a logic quorum amongst the populations. Too much religion, bad logic, and brain warping throws off the taste of the species too much or something.
It’s at least as logical as the belief of religions or UFOs to begin…
Also, on preparedness… and it kinda relates to my point… starts around 7:00

But according to the Christians in Dianna’s link, they’re already here. Feeding off Christians’ brains. So there goes that theory.
I recently watched a doco called ‘Jesus Camp’, set in the American mid-west. If it’s a true indicator, the aliens will go hungry.
Well, I was loosely kinda thinking about how our own space program might go. I mean, we aren’t gonna just check out every little living thing, probably. Just as we have very close biological cousins who aren’t nearly at the level of organisms we’d like to study ourselves, I’d think any alien world would have to qualify with sentience at near our level, if we communicated with them at all. Otherwise, a planet full of cows is just a farm, is how most of us would see it, I think (thinking of most of man’s previous exploits – hunting bison and buffalo in the wild American west, etc – we didn’t have fancy conversations with them the same way we’d think we would do with aliens, for some reason). And if the aliens see us as food instead of someone to sit down over some coffee with (wonder if aliens do things for leisure like we do?)…
Just a thought… why are Aliens always naked, you’d think they’d learn (after War Of The Worlds)… dumbfucks :)~~
Good point.
And why bipeds? Weedy little naked bipeds.
Multi-tasking tentacles make the best evolutionary sense.
Personally, I’m putting my money on a hyper-intelligent shade of the colour blue.
Bees that talk in 6 dimensions with almost no brain. Why does no one think hiveminds as a type of alien…?

I imagine that aliens – if we ever do encounter them – will be SO alien that we may not even recognize them. We may have already encountered them, in fact.
Then again, maybe we’re the aliens, and we simply evolved from matter distributed on a comet or something from elsewhere in the universe… which means there’s a whole other evolutionary tree of which our tree is but a branch…

Something like this?

Was thinking more like a mind flayer, but that works too.
So, she is insinuating that anal probes aren’t “big”, huh? Harrumph. Maybe I’ll go and put an interstellar beacon on her roof, and we’ll see how fast she changes her tune!
I dunno whether that will work. She seems to be so fond of the aliens that she’s probably up for some inter-species hanky panky.
Or worse, what if it’s like various parts of the world, wherein we only get the delinquent aliens who like to hide out in the woods (or barn, etc) with animals and do naughty things, and the aliens see us as animals…
Maybe that’s a bit too far.
maybe she is speaking from experience, and she wasnt impressed with the last time she was probed ?
as for the earlier article, I would be suprised if there isnt already a Reverend’s Law of Beads & Mirrors out there
I’m glad to see you’re paying attention, din.
