I mean we constantly hear Christians "explaining" us that earthquakes, floods, supernovas, volcano eruptions along with all other natural disasters and animal suffering are because Adam sinned so -if true- aliens must be really pissed at us because they also lived once in the paradise (as whole universe did) until pesky humans fucked it all up.
No! no! no. From what I understand Christians believe is that Jesus had to be descendant from Adam himself to make anointment for Adam's sin, so since aliens are not descendants from Adam Jesus could not have died on another planets. Also Bible itself says that Jesus only died once like Hebrews 10:10 and 1 Peter 3:18.
Also Jesus didn't return universe to it's paradise like state - there is still a lot of suffering.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
