Do aliens know about Jesus?

I know no one knows the answer, but what is your guess? Here are my theories:

1) There is no other intelligent life in the universe

2) God has sent his Son to die multiple times across the universe, dying once each time for each alien race.

3) When Jesus died, it was a one time thing and he died for the sins of aliens as well as us.

4) No alien race in the entire universe has never committed original sin so they live in a Garden of Eden type atmosphere so the sacrifice of Jesus is unnecessary.

Why theory do you think might be true?

I know no one knows, but it is interesting to think about.

Do you think denying a God is a little bit on the ignorant side? Reason is GREAAAT but why rely on reason alone? Reason alone did not give some people the passion to succeed. In fact, without Christianity, i believe western europe would still be in the dark ages so.... Why do so many atheists pride themselves in being so?

Is there a scripture in the bible that says that the bible should or should not be taken literally?( literal here doesn't mean symbols and figures of speech employed by the author are not recognized. I am refering to interpreting the scriptures word for word.)

1. If your answer is yes. Please write down the scripture and explain it to me. Thank you! Before you answer please take a look at this http://www.fallwell.com/ignored%20verses.html

2. If the answer is no. There is nothing wrong wether you choose to interpret the bible liteally or not. Agree or Disagree? Explain.

3. If nonexistence of a scripture does not mean that we should or we should not interpret the bible literally, then why should we or should we not interpret the bible literally.

Old Testament makes circumcision to be an EVERLASTING COVENANT: "He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money (your slaves), must needs be CIRCUMCISED: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an EVERLASTING COVENANT." [Genesis 17:13
"And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be CUT OFF (be killed) from his people; he hath broken my covenant." [Genesis 17:14]
Jesus (pbuh) was circumcised on the eighth day, to fulfill the law: And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [Luke 2:21]
Paul even abandoned circumcision
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?"

That's right. I would like pros AND cons. Please don't hold back. Which Bible version is the most reliable and why should I put my faith in it? Which one do most scholars agree is the most reliable and trustworthy version? Thank you.

I would find it disappointing that someone would reject a candidate because of their religious views even if they agreed with them on political issues.

How important is someones religion (or lack there of) when you are voting for someone?

He is a very nice person, but has been off of his meds. He's bi-polar and potentially extremely dangerous. I've noticed that his attitude has been swinging more toward the depressive side lately. In fact, it is starting to show up in his questions on here. What do you do when you know someone is about to snap, when you not only know that he is too strong and dangerous to stop, but that the stress could kill him?

Some say He didn't because he never sinned but in Acts 2:31 it says His soul was not LEFT in hell...what's up with that?

I've always thought it was someone who CHALLENGES you in a positive way and allows you to be YOU -- the way YOU are SUPPOSED to be -- whatever that means. I always thought it would make sense, once I've met them. At one point in my life, I actually thought I did, but now I have no friggin clue anymore.

Can someone give me the proper meaning of a soulmate? I don't believe, that just because you love someone a lot, they're your soulmate. It has to be deeper than that.

Was god (the fear of going to hell by him) really just a figure to use to keep people in line, from not turning on their lords our superiors and doing the "right" things?

Sounds interesting.
Would take up an elective.
Buttt, I don't want to have it end up being some sorta highly pious teacher turn it into a religion class. It would make me very angry if that happened. I live in the south, in a Catholic city, the probability of that happening may be higher than usual.
Then there's also the possibility of it actually being interesting and being able to objectivly break it down and analyze it as literature.
But then there's also a billion other electives that sound like they could be more fun.
What say you Y!A:RS?
Take it or no?
Also, anyone who has taken a Bible as Literature course- sharing your experiences would be nice. ;x

In 100yrs people will be arguing over stupid crap like who knows the "truth", who is following the "real" god, and what is ethical and right based on their own beliefs; same as now. In 500yrs, it will be the same play, different players. Humans are competitive animals and will never give up their excuses to be right, better, or holier than others. Nothing will be solved, nothing will be gained, and noone will be any closer to "knowing" anything about spirituality, except what they understand in relation to themselves. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just somewhat disappointing. The good point is that we will not be here to watch them make fools of themselves, as we are so free to watch ourselves now. Feel free to give your views, comments or whatever. I'll check back whenever.

If the penalty for sin is, as so many Christians teach, eternal torment in Hell, then Jesus didn't finish paying the price! My Bible says He arose again on the third day and after a short period of time went back to heaven...so either the wages of sin is death as the Bible teaches, or someone is teaching false doctrine...what's your opinion?

This should be good news for all you atheists out there!!
