Well no. I was not quoting him to talk about aliens, but about religion in general. And better a "jackass" and offend some people than to hide behind a shield of civility I think. Anyway back on topic, I don't know how this thread turned into religion either.

My two cents on the aliens thing is one word -- Why? Why would aliens want to contact us? That's the most basic question, and every answer I can think of revolves around "they find us interesting" which is an incredibly self-centered and egocentric justification. Since I can't even answer the Why question, I don't think I can carry on the discussion further.
