Alien Abductions v. Angel visiting Prophet with message from Allah
OP - March 29, 2009, 04:43 PM

Here's a site on Alien abductions. www.alienabductions.com/
It narrates the recollections of many men & women supposed visited & abducted by aliens. I do not believe such claims-coz believing in auch extraordinary claims IMO require similar extra ordinary evidence supporting it.

However, I wonder why religious folks, especially those belonging to faiths like Islam or Pentecostalism who take a literalist view of their Scriptures, why such claims should be unacceptable.

Its quite probable that with the huge size of our Universe, it is teeming with life, probable that some intelligent creatures on another planet have manufactured better spacecraft & are able to visit us, & to satisfy their curiosity abduct humans for some time.

Of course, it seems really fat fetched & most religious folks, eg most devout Muslims would immediately dismiss such claims. Yet they will believe the incredible account of an angel of the one true God-Allah had visited a 40 year old man called Muhammad in a cave & dictated to him a book detailing how much inheritance one should pay to their kids & even announcing that the Prophet can take more than 4 wives which other mortals can't or that guests shouldn't linger too long at the Prophet's house, coz it annoys him!

Isn't it more likely from all that we know about the Universe that alien abductions happen?Then shouldn't every devout Muslim or such similar literalist monotheist who knows about our Universe, also similarly believe in alien abductions?

Given the nature of Islam and of Muslims, it is highly probable that many eons ago in deep space many light years away, there was an alliance between the Klingons and the Borg -- and one of their projects on the way to their ultimate goal of conquering the Universe was to create Islam on planet Earth.

How can we tell the difference between harmless Muslims, and dangerous Muslims?

I was watching this documentary last night about "strange religious beliefs" around the world. The only reason they are considered strange and Islam/Christianity/Judaism/Hinduism are not considered strange is because a lot of people believe in the religions I have mentioned.
It makes me laugh when people ridicule scientology because they ridicule it because of its extraordinary claims but would not ridicule Islam/Christianity/Judaism/ Hinduism, even though the claims of these religions are just as extraordinary without any evidence!

Me too, particularly when these claims are less outlandish than their own beliefs, yet they refuse to see it. Its an pathetic display of complete ignorance, arrogance and self-righteousness. Grrrhh!
