What if we discovered life on another planet or life from another planet visited us? This question has been answered many times in science fiction stories, but do these stories fully explain how people will really react?

What if these aliens had a form that is similar to artists depictions of angels? Or demons? What if they looked exactly like us? I like these questions, but for the sake of this post, I will say that they look relatively close to us. Maybe purple skin, no hair and completely white eyes.

I think that there will be several different responses from various groups. In this post I will focus on how some of these responses will be negative.

Now in our world there are several religious groups that say that God may have created life on other planets, but God favours us. Now think about that for a while. Now think about Nazi’s, white supremacists and just about any racist. If an alien life form visited us, would these groups welcome them as brothers? Would they welcome the aliens in peace? Not likely. After all, God gave us dominion over all of Gods creations.

What about bible literalists? You know, the people that believe that the bible should be taken literally. Now these people might just come up with all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories about how the aliens aren’t real. You know, like the moon landing.

So the question I really want to ask is: are we as humans, really ready to be meeting alien life from other planets? I don’t think we are. Hell, a lot humans can’t even get past an ancient book that tells us that we are special in the universe because it was all created for us alone.
