If you believe in UFOs does that mean that you negate belief in your religion?

Not mine. I'm an atheist. But I also doubt there are little green men on other planets either. I've heard the mathmatical theory about life on other planets, and I've also heard it's bunk. If you believe we are all here because of a luck accident, then it's unlikely that same accident would happen throughout the universe. Just like Bill Nye The Science Guy said, if there were UFOs, all the telescopes would see them. And just because people claim they've seen it, well, people also used to claim they saw Griffins and Cyclopses, too. When I see a saucer, I'll believe it.

No I wouldn't say so, all it means is that you have the logical belief that other life exists in this universe besides our own. Some people like to think theories such as the big bang and evolution for instance goes against God, but in my opinion the reason for God in alot of the cases were due to the lack of explanations to prove otherwise. Me personally I still believe you can have faith in a higher being while throwing science into the mix, but I think these days God is taking a step back into playing the role as a more personal guidance rather than an all-assuming answer to every question.

What a bizarre question. Interesting though.
I saw an interview once where some traditional white middle class Christians were being interviewed on a show where UFO's/Extraterrestrial life forms were being discussed.
Arguably the most ironic statement ever made by a person was one of these Christians, who completely scoffed at the idea of UFO's and "little green men" as "hocus pocus" and "ridiculous - how she failed to see the irony of a Christian who believes in a invisible ear-wigging sky god, is beyond me.
It's a mathematical improbability that we are alone in the universe, whether or not we get to meet any other races is a different matter though. The fact that we are not alone is yet another hole in the Abraham worshippers beliefs.

Not in my belief of what GOD can or can not do.
GOD is the creator of the UFO crew, same as we are.
The religious bureaucratic system of my faith does not stop me from thinking on my own.

I saw a UFO the other day...a flying object I couldn't identify...my guess is it was a helicopter though.
As for extra terrestrials, no that wouldn't change my belief either. I doubt we will ever find any though.

No, of course not! My Gods are Gods of planet Earth. They may have a broader role in the rest of the universe, but I'll find out when I get to know more about the rest of the universe. Maybe aliens get their own set of Gods. I don't know.
I believe that getting to know more about the universe and the world is a way to honor the Divine. (How pleased are you when people ask you sincere questions about things you're proud of?) We see that there are many yellow stars like our sun, with planets around them. So it seems really stupid and arrogant to me to believe that ours is the only planet that gets life on it, or that we already know the answer to everything.

One doesn't have anything to do with the other. Your speaking in the belief of a supreme being compared to beings (another race) from another planet.

No because my God is big enough to have created me and the universe that I know and create a lot of other fantastic places as well, so no He still exists.
