Alien Question for Atheists

[Fireball]

I'd say that they observed our behavior and found the optimal way to subjugate most of the human race.

Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." These alleged more-advanced aliens could take the piss on all of the religious with some technology that hasn't been invented here. I can see child-like wonder and people falling to their knees everywhere in this scenario. I'd stand there and try to figure out how they do it.

Take a fully working Internet back to the 12th C. They would never figure it out.

<rubs hands in fiendish glee> Just think how much money we could mulct from the unsuspecting populace! Hell, I could start a religion and build some giant churches.   Nah, I'd be tortured and killed, most likely.
