Jesus, Meet E.T. - E.T., Meet Jesus


I definitely could not have put it better myself (emphasis added):
A Multitude of Creatures

by Abby Zimet

In intriguing news, the Vatican has just finished a five-day conference exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Participants agreed the issue raises difficult questions: Would Jesus save aliens, too? We applaud the open-mindedness the conference suggests. Still, a thought: If these old celibate men truly want to take a journey of intellectual discovery, perhaps they should start closer to home. The alien issues of women, sexuality and contraception await them.

I think such otherwordly issues would require depths of understanding for which their primitive minds are simply incapable of.

Maybe in a few thousands of years or so, when said primitive minds evolve just enough to acquire at least the capacity for reasoning ...

Maybe.

But hey - at least they're trying to reconcile their parochial superstitions with the reality of the universe, eh? Just like they already attempted to do regarding evolution.

(sigh)
