ah, well, yes when the trolls do pop up, I don't get angry so much at what
is said about their beliefs in response, but how they're treated in general.
They are wrong, but they do deserve the respect that you or I deserve when
we post. Calling them idiots and so on will only cement their opinion that
us S@H'ers are satanic, and that they're right. Treating them with respect
and with calmness may make them begin to wonder why "demons" are being nice
to "good people" like them.
Perhaps they just do it for the attention... ignore them, and they'll get
bored of it. My momma always said, "if you can't say anything nice, don't
talk."
for the record, the trolls DO NOT by any means represent the majority of
Christians' beliefs about the subject of ETI. the majority (at least the
majority of Christians I know) are rather open-minded about the existance of
ETI. After all, if God (or whatever you want to call Him) can do anything,
why did he just stop with one self-aware life-form and one life-supporting
world?
