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."

AMEN To that!

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?

Keep searching,
