If we discovered Aliens or if Aliens made contact with us, how would that impact our religions?

Nope. Belief in God started with black people along with nearly every religion.

What white people did was posion the well and lie about the true nature of God.
Black people practice many religions. Some monotheistic and some polytheistic.

You can use that same line about god.

No. Almost every religion was started by black people. Judiasm, Christianity, Islam. Hell even the Buddha was a black man.

What white people did was infiltrate the shyt we started and lie about the true nature of God. Its why I don't vibe with modern organized religion but I know a God exists.

People believed both that religion gave them the right to enslave others and that they themselves should be enslaved


People believed that they should drink poisonous Kool-Aid

People believed they should sacrifice their own children

People believed they could engage in sexual activities with minor children

People believed they had a right to a patch of land and should go to war for centuries over it.


People believed they had divine right to rule as Kings

People believed it was their duty to conquer others and FORCE their own beliefs on them.

People believe they have a right to Megachurches, Jet Planes, and luxury hotels in the name of “serving the Lord”

People believe they can steal, rape, and murder and that if they repent and accept God’s “Son” into their lives that all will be forgiven



The point is that people are going to believe in what they CHOOSE to believe in. Despite any common sense or proof to the contrary. The existence of Alien life isn’t going to sway a religious person to disbelieve.

Mankind's ego would definitely take a hit
That's for sure. Even though I guess a significant fraction of religious people would consider Aliens as demonic apparitions, in the long run? Years down the line? They would have no other choice to adapt and accept we're not that unique. New religions would probably appear.

Do you think it will challenge their belief. They may not outright stop believing but do you think it will shake them up?

Look at our world. It was clearly made by an intelligent designer.

Also the lies of NASA is proof they are hiding the true nature of our created reality from us.
What if the intelligent designer was really aliens?

Those are people brainwashed into believing in the myth of aliens.

We are alone in this universe because we live in a reality created just for us. This place we call Earth is special and so are we.
Yeah and you figured this all out how exactly?

A well known Pastor in Atlanta named Eddie Long was accused by dozens of young men of molestation and coercive sex.

Did those accusations “Shake up” his congregation?

NO . They crowned him a King and exulted him (this is not an exaggeration.)


People are going to believe what they want.
