That's enough, isn't it?
Why do you tolerate liars?
I can't say aliens don't exist to UFO fans. Same thing with God fans. They wish to buy a ticket to heaven(peaceful and relatively sane believers) - that's their business.
Sorry, but people's beliefs do not live in a vacuum. They inform their actions. And, as I posted above (post #29), many of those actions have real world, negative consequences.
The thing with alien believers is, they don't have any political power. So their unsupported beliefs have almost zero effect on society (except for some cool movies).
If alien believers started to misbehave, based on their alien beliefs, as badly as theists do, then we'd be speaking out against them also.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
