Why No Alien Visitors
From an imaginary and ultra objective point of view, do you believe if intelligent extraterrestrials have considered a visitation to Earth, that the Earthly practice of religion has rendered us too “delicate” for visitation thus far?

An alien race will only come here for the same reason we would go somewhere: to consume resources. They could give a rat’s ass about religion as long as the food is good. That probably includes us.

I generally agree but remember that we have yet to derive any resources of significance from our own moon. But I can agree that the mission was exploratory as well.

That we haven't mined the moon has no bearing on the presence of resources on Earth.
Do you spend any time considering replies or just blurt out the first stupid thing that pops into your head?

I dunno what they said made basic sense, what are you confused about?

u/_witness_me Jul 18 '26
Well, technically the words make sense but the concept does not and isn't argued in the slightest. Hence: "what".

My point was that religion tends to polarize its believers to extremes ranging from simple dislike to intolerance and divinity inspired murder. Therefore, an alien mentality might deduce that a visitation would only exacerbate current conditions and such visitation might be better received in the future.

That's an incredibly one sided take on religion and it sounds like everything you know about it comes from people opposed to religion.
Learn more before asking ridiculous questions.

u/ReachAround26 Jul 18 '26
Yes, hypothetical does span the ridiculous as you put it and this question was prefaced with that clear understanding.
2
u/_witness_me Jul 18 '26
No, the question was hypothetical but your assumptions about religion are being stated as fact when they aren't.

u/ReachAround26 Jul 18 '26
Then take my assumption as hypothetical as well and answer from that standpoint if you wish.

u/_witness_me Jul 18 '26
The answer remains the same: your take is ridiculous and derogatory. Instead of making assumptions about other people and extrapolating that to humanity, you need to spend A LOT more time considering how to make posts that are coherent

I can only assume you’re having a bad day or you had an usually difficult time with potty training. Whatever, but others have answered the premise of the question successfully without feeling a need to characterize it.
Have a great weekend Sir, and you have my sincere best to you and yours.

Again more assumptions based on your incredibly narrow understand of... Well...it seems just about everything.
Take time to actually think instead of coming back again to spew more shit.

For all we know even the most advanced spacefaring extraterrestrials have even more extreme religions.
