Many have not made the connection, but I assure you that a very strong, obvious, and evil connection does exist between UFOs and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
There exists throughout the world various “gifted” people who supposedly can contact aliens and channel their messages to us earthlings. This certainly is interesting to consider but here is the really intriguing point. These messages routinely attack, ridicule, or undermine Christianity. The aliens don’t seem to be threatened by Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or any other ism. They focus their attacks on Christianity. Could this be because Christianity is the only true religion? This would be my bet.

(Napoleon, two things; one the - and particularly his - media concentrates on the Christian ones, and secondly he's so focussed on shoving his head up his own ass it's a miracle he's even aware the other religions exist.)
Uhhhhhhhhh... so basically this guy is stating that little green men who don't exist are helping newagers who believe in things that lack evidence attack belief in the mythologized founder of a religion? Simply groundshaking stuff here.
Next up, Barker will prove that Lucky the Leprechaun is an assassin sent by the Atlantean mafia to whack Santa. You heard it here FIRST!
So... he states a completely fantasized "fact" that aliens send messages attacking Christianity and not other religions, and invents a non-sequiturish explanation that the reason is that Christianity is the only true religion. I can only quote here the master Jorge Luis Borges:
"Another disadvantadge of false problems is to promote solutios which are equally false. For Pliny (Natural History, Book 8) it is not enough to observe that dragons attack elephants in summer; he suggests the hypothesis that they do so in order to drink their blood which, as everybody knows, is very cold."
Those people are not gifted, they are either crazy or lying. They do not 'prove' the existence of UFOs at all. The media tends to focus specifically on those messages attacking Christianity, and even if all of the messages were attacking Christianity, why the hell would attacking Christianity prove it to be true?
And if these messages are true and Christianity is the only religion, why doesn't it mentions aliens in the Bible?
As far as I am concerned, I lump anyone who claims to be channeling anything in the same boat as fundies (all kinds, not just Christians), creationists, UFOlogists, faith-healers, etc.
You are all delusional. Period.
There are two reasons I can think of why this guy believes that channelled alien messages "routinely attack, ridicule, or undermine Christianity" :
1) "Channelled alien messages" are the babbling of delusional folks, and these folks are going to base their babblings on their own experiences. In the U.S., Christianity (in its various flavors) is the number one religion, so U.S. "channellers" (which this guy is probably exposed to more) will tend to ascribe features to their imagined aliens that address Christian beliefs. I'll bet you that Middle Eastern inhabitants who babble about being contacted by Aliens would more likely relay alien messages that are adverse to Islam.
2) He perceives any message that contradicts any teensy, tinsy aspect of his personal flavor of Christianity -- in any way, shape, or form -- as being an "attack" on Christianity.
I think it's probably a combination of the two.
There exists within our history "enlightened" and "democractic" people who supposedly tell us to educate ourselves and think for ourselves. This certianly is interesting to consider, but here is the interesting part: These messages routinely attack, ridicule or undermine Fascism and Dictatorship! The democracts and "enlightened" don't seem to be threatened by Socialism, Republics, or any other ways of life. Most of the world focuses its attacks on Fascism. Could this be because it is the one true way of living? This would be my bet.
:P
"The aliens don’t seem to be threatened by Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or any other ism."
Hot damn! The UFOs aren't interested in materialism, capitalism, humanism or Fascism! Christianity MUST be the only true religion
Are you sure they're not threatened by antidisestablishmentarianism?
Seriously, though, citation seriously fucking needed.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
