At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yes, it is possible that an inferior alien race, impressed by our drastically advanced technology, would consider us supernatural gods. But would we be? Just because our technology looks like magic to this hypothetical inferior alien race, does not mean it is supernatural. In the exact same way that a superior alien race to us, would have technology that we can't understand would make them supernatural gods. Unknown technology =/= supernatural. 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. RE: Do you have the right to be an atheist?
