Can't be Martian... Pastor Locke says that the Bible specifically says that God "put a bound on" the ability of anything to live on other planets. It's right there, "no matter what NASA says" (he cites Acts 26:17), there are no aliens and man will never live on Mars or the moon.
I wish I was making that up. It's 4 minutes and 20 seconds of the most inane shit I've ever heard. Totally worth a listen, though.
It's all hilarious, but here's the end of it:
"I don't care what NASA says, I don't care how many biologists and scientists they have... If you're a believer in the Word of God, then, theologically, you have to understand: God made man, put him on the earth, and then bound his habitation to the earth. So, no, ET is not real, right? I don't care what NASA finds, they're not going to find life, and we are never going to live somewhere else in the universe, other than the fact that when we get saved, we will leave this world--thank God--and go to heaven. And so I don't care about NASA finding water on Mars because, guess what, 23 years ago I took a drink of the living water of Jesus Christ, and he has changed me for ever and ever. So if you want a cool drink of water, I don't look to NASA, I look to the Word of God."

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
