Christian Symposium Offers Different Take on Aliens at Roswell UFO Festival
Alien Resistance, a Christian counter-cult outreach ministry, will hold an all-Christian-speaker Symposium on aliens during the annual Roswell UFO Festival July 3-5th, 2009. The 11 participants include 4 PhDs, 2 doctorates of ministry, 2 pastors, 2 ordained ministers, and several pastoral counselors, with 12 books written between them on the UFO/Alien topic. The Symposium will educate on the UFO/alien topic from a Biblical Christian perspective, with emphasis on counter-cult evangelism, creationism, and spiritual warfare. The event is free for the public to attend, and will be held at the Best Western Sally Port Inn Ballroom. Tens of thousands of people interested in the UFO/Alien topic are expected to attend the Roswell UFO/Alien Festival this year.

Organizers assert that, "From a Biblical Christian perspective it becomes clear that 'aliens' are actually the evil spirits of the Bible. This idea is backed up experientially with the evidence of numerous testimonies of 'abductees', which show that 'alien abduction' experiences stop in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. Also the sinful behaviors of the 'aliens' behind abductions, the false gospels and new age messages they proclaim, and their supernatural powers so very reminiscent of those described in the Bible as being had by angels, all adds up to make clear that 'aliens' are in fact the evil spirits of the Bible."

1. Whoo boy!
Just when you thought the alien stuff couldn't get any kookier, they bring evil spirits into the mix.

I wonder how popular their symposium will be. :)

3. hah!! that same meme happened here in MI
back in the 90s, a large number of UFOs were sighted crossing the lake at unbelievable speeds. They were clocked around 600 mph, and many people took pictures of it and reported it. hordes of UFO buffs descended on the west mi towns to check it out.
but the townspeople, or at least some of them, summed it up thusly
"IT WAS DEMONS!"
I remember laughing and laughing.

8. HOLD ON a minute - you ALL have this entirely wrong!
These people have ALL been abducted by aliens and it is the anal probes that are making them say this stupid shit because that's what the aliens WANT them to say!

10. So the nutcase beliefs of one group (mainly harmless) are attacked by the nutcase beliefs of another
Well, hopefully it keeps them off the street or out of the hotel rooms ordering in-room porn.

19. How do you know if it's a Wookiee or a Jehovah's Witness at your door?
The Wookiee is the one who leaves when you ask him to.
