Who are you arguing with? It doesn't seem to be me. Someone in your head perhaps?

Nobody, other than you has mentioned 'little green men'. 'Life' may be single-cell organisms for all we know.

I didn't think anybody was arguing.

You made the remark that atheists would try to spin "it" if the little green men also worshiped "god". I simply asked why you wouldn't pray about it?

If an alien species advanced enough to cross interstellar space visited us and had no concept of gods or such , would you then give up theism and admit atheists were right ?

Why do you assume I am a theist?

You absolutely came in the conversation taking a stance against what you think is the atheist position with your comment about little green men believing in a god.

Since it is quite rare to see an agnostic clearly taking a side, what option is left for us to guess at regarding your religious stance?
