No it is because any proof of alien life would mean that men are
mortal and doomed to die, a knowlege that is so dreadful that men
will kill, destroy and lie maim and destroy minds to prevent such
knowlege being found.

In my case it just had not occured to me.

I am now am in fear of my extiction by death.

All of us are mad!

Do you honestly think people are going to take some weirdoes from outer
space, who aren't even of the same species seriously? LOL The point is how
could some non human entity know what it is to be human, they would have
their own individual experience of the Universe, their own history and the
own Gods built in their image, or they may have a conception of a Universal
all encompassing God. Or may not believe in a god or God at all. The point
is no weirdo from outer space is going to have any better handle on the
ultimate reality than the average weirdo on Earth LOL. So I don't see it
would actually fundamentally change anything at all. People can still
believe what they want to believe, there is no cure for madness LOL :)
