Well I dare say if they are anything like us they would feel their mission
to be Godly, after all you can't believe yourself to be made in the image of
God without feeling one has a certain monopoly on Godhood and God given
rights. That said if they are aware that the Universe is teaming with
intelligent sentient life which one might suppose to be the case if they
travel about in interstellar space One might assume they have greater
humility in relation to how they behave and be less inclined to interfere in
other Worlds.

Sensible, quite sensible.
 

Which I guess is the main problem. I suppose if they did reveal themselves
to ordinary people, people would start worshiping them as Gods. I don't
suppose they would want that.

Wouldn't seem to make sense to hide out for <fillin> years when they could
have been very GodLike in <fillin any previous date>
 

I think the real message that any ET would want to impart to humanity is
that we are all aspects or children of God as individual parts of the
life-force in the Universe and we need to take on that responsibility
instead of hiding behind organised religions as a way of hiding from the
responsibility for our individual actions. Which I think is what Christ is
basically saying once you cut through all the nonsense imposed on the
Gospels by manipulative people seeking to control access to God in order to
manipulate, control and wield power over their fellow men.

It's nice to have a conversation with someone who isn't a first class koo
koo.
