How do you know that aliens don't offer an afterlife?
They told me? Why?

This topic always gets a nice mix of objective morality, NDE's, evolution denial, scripture, and Mystic Knight will usually drop by with some babble about praise and worship.

He's quit the forum for now to concentrate on his studies, so that won't be happening anymore.

Can you concisely, empirically, logically or rationally meet your burden of proof to demonstrate that any God exists?
Please start by defining what you mean by 'God.'
No preaching please!
"In the beginning, there was The Word"
"And The Word was God"
The word "god" exists, manifestly, or else we wouldn't be here writing it.
The word "god" refers to a concept... sadly, it's a strange concept... a "personal" concept... each person has their own concept of that word.
The bare-bones version states that "god" is a conscious entity with the capability (and responsibility) of creating our Universe.
Different groups of people then attach different extra features to said "god". How they come by information regarding those features is beyond me. Well, not really beyond me... they indulge in fallacy ridden apologetic to arrive at those pieces of information regarding the supposed entity. I know it's difficult to reason about out-of-this-Universe-entities within the bounds of our intra-universe experience, but these people push the boundary of extrapolation...
Anyway...
"Does a god exist?" Who knows?! Maybe.... but most likely not.
Oh.... you wanted a theist to reply?...
I'll pretend to be one: Yes, God exists. Aquinas proved Him to be a necessary being. "No God" necessarily means "no Universe" and clearly we have a Universe, so... we have a God.
And God is the God I believe in because if He exists, He must be good, for he has created and allowed us humans to live. And He comes into our thoughts and dreams and guides us to better ourselves.
