Why would they ask Morgan Freeman?

Also, they will undoubtedly have worshiped a god at some point, although not the ones that we do.

It is pretty ridiculous to say that aliens would never worship God, the idea that of all the species that have existed, exist, or will exist none of them worshiped God seems rather ludicrous There will be many that don't and many that do, it entirely depends on how they evolved.

Really they should be worshiping the gods of Plot Convenience and Bad Writing, given that's what saved them from sure destruction.

Don't forget mind-raping animals. That played an important part.

(Seriously. Ponytail-to-ponytail contact between Na'vi is their sex, right? And how do they control beasties? By plugging their ponytails into them. It's an entire benighted rape planet.)

I think this is a really interesting question. It's possible, but there's no way to know for sure. I'd love to learn about alien religions if there was ever proof they existed.

Bestiality alone cannot stop a 20kg tungsten rod dropped from orbit. You need an act of Plot Convenience with a hefty side of Evil is Dumb for that.

I was under the impression that that was merely mental intimacy, not actual reproduction. You have to be at Asari levels of stupid alien design to reproduce that way. But no, seriously, we should nuke the whole damn raepfest from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...

Depends. You just say aliens as if they are one civilization when it's possible millions of civilizations exist in this very universe. I would think that many would have religions no matter how primitive or advanced they are. I think we as humans will still have religion no matter what. That doesn't mean our contemporary religions would survive though, just new ones in the future.

So the same could be said for whatever extraterrestrials might be out there. Many of these civilizations could have their own jesus-like figures.
For so long, Mankind has been plagued by division. Division by culture, creed, skin color, religion and nationality. These very divisions have been the cause of most human conflicts. But in the age of globalism, we can finally have that chance to implement a world government where all human beings are seen as equals. Isn't that what everyone wants? World peace? I do. You should support that too. It may not end all conflicts, but the reductions of Man on Man violence will be at an all time low when the entire planet gets administered by one governing body.
