The reason why Christianity is a state religion here is because our King is above the law and "only god can judge him".
And people think the US is bad...
I just remembered something I had read about encountering intelligent Alien Life. There were certain things to do and not to do when encountering one, and if we ever do encounter IAL, I just hope it won't be some religious freak or Earth is doomed. Think about it, you start telling an alien that the world was created for us?
I just want to note on this one. Alien life my ass. I believe 100% that no alien life has ever came to Earth. I also believe 100% that there IS infact alien life out there, just that we have no means to get there and chances are pretty fucking good they cant get here either. Its damn dear impossible for intelligent life not to exist elsewhere in our universe (shit, I would bet money that there is intelligent life in close to a dozen, (maybe even hundreds or thousands) solar systems in our little Milky Way alone), but I dont think it ever came to Earth.
What this life looks like, I would love to know but the speed of light is a hard goal to meet and even at the speed of light, other stars are still immense distances away.
(we could talk about worm holes and stuff, but as it is, those are all just theories yet.)
