| Aliens are NOT cute. |
Aliens are demons. This is not opinion, but
fact. I am fairly new to this realization, backed by much evidence. My attitude
heretofore was mostly indifference towards aliens, UFOs, UAPs,
extraterrestrials, etc. I gave scant attention to the question, “Is there other
intelligent life (aliens) in the universe?” and satisfied myself with this
vague generality: “God can do anything!” Can He? God “can’t” do what is evil
(because it’s the absence of Goodness, which is God Himself). God “can’t” make
a mistake (because that’s a gross imperfection, and God is perfect). God “can’t”
make a square circle because that’s an absurd contradiction in terms (and God
is not absurd).
My second erroneous thought on the matter was: “If God created aliens, He didn’t
have to tell us about it.” All well and good…in theory. However, if aliens were
going to interact with us humans someday, God would have to have told us about
them in His Word, and there ain’t no aliens in the Bible, or rather, not
exactly. We’ll get back to that. Why would God have to tell us about this
interaction? Because it’s rather cataclysmic. How do we know if they’re good or
not? What should we make of them? Do they come in peace (and even if they say
they do—can we trust them)? What is their place in the divine order? Oh, and
there’s that little problem of original sin and actual sin. Are they sinful
like us? I got thrown on this last question for many years because of my great
love for Ray Bradbury, the famed (and Catholic) science-fiction writer. He
wrote a little poem that essentially said: “If there are aliens out there, then
Jesus has gone to their galaxy and died for them, too.” Never having studied
philosophy or theology when I read this poem, I thought it was “sweet.” Now I
know better: that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity cannot repeat the hypostatic union, cannot make the one ultimate Sacrifice over
and over for different beings. Human beings are a very big cosmic deal because of the Incarnation."To which of the angels did God ever say: 'you are my Son, this day I have begotten you'?" Hebrews 1:5
Back to the Bible. There is other intelligent life in God’s Creation. They’re called angels. There are good ones and bad (fallen) ones, and the fallen ones appear as serpents, and can take on other appearances in order to deceive us. Now, why ever would they do that? Because they hate God and us and want to bring about our ruin, i.e., for us to join them in Hell. Oh, and they wouldn’t mind being worshipped as gods, either. Why would I identify aliens with demons? Would you be surprised to learn that those who have been contacted by “aliens,” or even believe they were abducted, were able to stop the unpleasant experiences by calling on the name of Jesus? Even non-Christians and non-believers have used the name of God, or a hymn or line from Scripture with the same success (see: tinyurl.com/AliensDemons). Exorcists have seen "the grays" manifest. To those who say: “I’m open to the idea of aliens,” or “I think we should be open”…be careful. We should never open our souls to the unknown, only to what is certainly from God.
What about those in antiquity and throughout the centuries who left artifacts of what appears to be flying saucers and the like? Um, yes. The devil is very old. What more deviously brilliant scheme than to plant evidence for aeons, building up to the ultimate “revelation” during a time of mass apostasy and falling away, when people are rejecting their only Saviour and looking for a new one from the skies? The conjecture is that the final alien deception will be a manifestation of these “evolved beings” who have “solutions” for us stupid and bellicose “hairless bipeds” (“Screwtape Letters”). They will pat Jesus on the head and say He was a great teacher, but that’s all we could handle at the time. Now we are finally ready to understand who God really is. They will claim to be bringing us peace and advanced technology to end all suffering on Earth. But before they can help us, we just have to submit to this one thing....
Orthodox and Evangelical Christians have been sounding the alarm about the probable coming “alien invasion/deception/disclosure” for some time, but most unfortunately, a very large swath of Catholics have been eagerly promoting belief in aliens (qua aliens). Most fortunately, however, two astute Catholics have researched and written extensively on UFOs/aliens for the rest of us. Daniel O’Connor (a philosophy professor) has a hefty doorstop-sized reference book called: “Only Man Bears His Image,” and his much shorter version is:"The First and Last Deception." Ursula Bielski’s fine book is “The Devil in Dreamland.”
