"Calling all aliens Demons or satanic is hate speech pure and simple"
Um...yeah, so I'm a member at Above Top Secret, which is basically a conspiracy theory forum. Some of the stuff is pretty mainstream (the sort of stuff I'm interested in) and then some of it is just way the fuck out there, like saying the Iraq war is over Stargates (yup, like the movie & tv series) or this...

Probedbygrays says...

I've done it myself at times when I was angry with certain aliens or thoughtless, but I think it is wrong to say that 'All aliens demons or satanic etc'.

I've met aliens who are like gods of pure love and wisdom and I've met some who are nasty like so-called devils (but they were only messing with my mind and later came clean and were really nice entities after all). Also I've met some who are like cold hearted scientists and others who are like everyday people. I believe aliens are part of a new type of religion that can accept technology, and it is simply hate speech to label them all demons or satanic etc.

I find it truly offensive and intimidating when folks spout that type of hateful intolerance.

It's like I could try and help the world meet the aliens and learn more about reality but if I do I feel they would just harm the aliens.

I don't think our world is ready to meet the aliens while this type of anti-alien hate speech is permitted to spread unchecked.


While I don't believe aliens are demons or satanic, I will focus my anti-hate speech efforts on racism & homophobia pertaining to humans.

2. This is my favorite rebuttal to him thus far...
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 03:41 AM by haruka3_2000
my curiosity lies in the fact you calim you have met aliens?
Now please due tell, How did you meet one>? was it in a AOL chat room?


:rofl:

or...

Maybe the aliens feed off human emotional energy and sense the greatest non-life threatening fear amongst most humans is to be sodomized anally. Ever hear of a homosexual male being abducted and probed? Well that's my theory on alien abduction.

4. Yeah, one has to look on the bright side of the crazy...
I basically replied that we should be more concerned about hatred towards other humans and that I wouldn't call anything that probed me "gods of pure love and wisdom."

5. as a space alien, I must applaud this fellow's plea for tolerance
Sure, we may mutilate a few cows now and then, and abduct people for our weird experiments...but it's just hurtful to be called "demons" on account of it. So, thanks Mr. probedbygreys! :thumbsup:

8. Maybe he's talking about Mexicans
Some people call them demons but in fact many are scientists and others capable of angelic love for human kind. And here I'm specifically thinking about Aracely Arámbula.

"probedbygays." I thought "wait a minute, this isn't Rapture Ready!" :o

9. Frankly, I think calling them aliens is a form of hate speech
Designed to alienate them and make them feel singled out. I prefer "fellow cosmic life form" myself.
