In the belief systems we all have, it's just a matter of opinion. Faith and belief usually have nothing to do with fact. Christians and many other religions think God is limited to create life only on earth, yet many acknowledge that there is in fact a moon, because they can see it, and a sun for the same reason. Yet when astronomers speak of outer planets, other suns, even other galaxies and universes, some religious people will acknowledge they are there, but feel God isn't powerful enough to create life there. I feel life is abundant infinitely, and God is so smart, he will only allow us, or them, to find each other when we are developed mentally and technically to be able to deal with it. To answer your question, Hell is a fear Christians have of the result of not being 'good' and only the Bible refers to it as any type of real place or thing. The Bible was man written, so beliefs and opinions get involved. Aliens, what ever you actually mean by that, probably have their own definition of Hell.

Interesting, well if you are religious, than you must believe that god created those "aliens" as well, so they would probably believe in the same things as us, I personally believe that we were not created, we just happened, just like all the other life out there, whether it be intelligent or not, and therefor do not have to worry about heaven or hell, or appeasing a god to be allowed into paradise, or damned for all eternity. Being anywhere for eternity would be "hell" if you think about it

There are a couple possibilities.
One is that if the aliens have never sinned, they may not need to be saved. They may know Jesus better than we do! They might be what would otherwise be called 'angels'. (I suspect that these are the ones that just observe and do not make contact.)
Another possibility is that they may be demons in disguise (or not-so-disguised). Have you ever seen the movie Signs...? (These may be the ones that abduct people. Getting r*ct*l probes does not seem like the act of angels to me.)
A third possibility is that they may already be damned, in one sense. They have used their super science to cast themselves out, away from their warm, safe homeworlds where they were placed, into the outer darkness. What reconciliation would be possible for them?
We know that it is supposed to be impossible to escape from a black hole. A better scientific description of hell, I have not heard.
Maybe they want Earth....
My conclusion is that I do not need to know which one of these is correct (if any ) in order for me to be saved. I had better tend to the needs of my own soul first.

If Aliens are real then they cannot be saved from OUR hell because if they invaded our space on Earth, i see that as a very bad thing. All aliens will go to hell. If any people believe in aliens then they also will go diectly to hell aswell becuase they will be possessed by the devil. The alien that you see is actaully the devil so you will gho directly to hell too. Have fun in hell people!!!!!

First of all...There is NO HELL....Do you really believe that an all loving, caring, God could throw one of his children into a "lake of fire"?..I couldnt do that to one of my kids no matter what they did. Hell is a ploy used by the organized religion to scare people into coming to church and giving them money...Its all about power. We need to be less religious and more spiritual.
Second...There are aliens..But I dont think they have made contact with us yet..Too far away...We would have to be pretty nuts to think in all this space we are the only ones...Grow up
Peace and Namaste

If hell is real,and as intelligent beings,we are supposed to live a certain way to avoid it,then I think it would apply to other intelligent beings as well.I don't believe in hell,but if I did,I would say that anyone that can think for themselves would have to be good to avoid it.I don't think it would matter whether you were from New York,or Pluto.

I recommend _Out of the Silent Planet_ and _Perelandra_ by C.S. Lewis for one theory on this question.
The short version is; if they never Fell, they don't need to be saved. And even if they did, the provisions made for saving us may not apply to them -- but other provisions will.

This is a very good question. I believe the answer is, they would/could have a totally different criteria for "graduating" to a better or worse afterlife.

According to Dante, virtuous Pagans get sent to Hell in name only. Their only punishment is knowing that they didn't believe in God when they had the chance. They get a castle. Plus you get to meet Socrates.

I think the more pertinent question here is that if hell is real, would it be safe from the aliens?
