I experienced and observed all sorts of things raised in a pentecostal church. Some pretty strange. None that point to a god being real though, thus my question and wondering about how you are using the term.
I have experienced a conscious encounter with an entity which I can comfortably describe as 'extraterrestrial'. That alone cannot signify 'god being real'. It cannot even signify that extraterrestrials [as per OP subject] are real either, because I do not know that they even come from this universe.
However, given I have been offered no empirical evidence other universes exist, I have to conclude the entity I had the encounter with, was from this universe...extraterrestrial as in 'alien' 'from somewhere out in space'.
Super!
Please show that you speak the truth and actually had an encounter with an extraterrestrial from this universe.
I mentioned it mainly to point out how personal experience is relative to the person...I have no problem in saying so, even that I am unable to show anyone that it happened.
Perhaps details might make this claim a bit more reasonable?
Why do you think that? I didn't share the little I have, in order to claim it was reasonable or not.
I have had many encounters with aliens, and they have told me that they never contact any other human besides myself. Therefore, how could you have encountered one yourself?
Why do you think I am the one you should be asking? If you have a problem with the information you were given, in relation to the information I have given, how is that something I have to answer to?
You don't find my claim ridiculous by chance do you?
I find it more of an example of projection. Apart from that, I am not here to make judgments regarding such things.
Would you perhaps appreciate it if I tried to show that my claim was true? Or does, "I met with extraterrestrials" really cut it for you and such a claim deserves to be believed?
It is not important to me or why I chose to share that I had an ET experience. It was more to point that having had such an experience, I think it more likely we will find ET life, although I also pointed out in my post, that we need not assume such would be from some planet far away...
I do not know that aliens exist and contact us. I do know that humans will pretend to have information that escapes the rest of us and that feels empowering and good though. Take, 'knowing that the earth is flat' as one example. Perhaps 'knowing about extraterrestrials' is another example?
Are you asking me to help you to decide? I do not care if you think I am making up a story or whatever reasons you produce for my doing so. I did not share it for that purpose.
