Why Did God Die?

Hello Readers, it has been way too long... Life has be a laundry list of busyness for while. I had a great topic come to mind and want to write about it! So here we go... Enjoy!

Why did God die when life on other planets became

accepted by the majority? Let me give you a foreword... I am talking about monotheist religions specifically and with a Buddhist perspective. I was part of Judeo-Christendom for 23 years, as I have said that too many times in my blog. So I have a really good understanding of both and in-between religions of said belief. I am not sure if my conversion to Buddhism 4 years ago as my core beliefs that have me seeing the possibility of life out there among the stars. Do I think there is intelligent life on other planets? Of course, there is too high of probability of it and I totally didn’t rule it out in those 23 years either.

Since the monotheist religions formed there hadn’t been thought of what was outside of Earth. Once modern

astronomy, started less than 1,000 years ago, the thought probably started popping into people’s heads then, at least a little. However, it was not until the 19th century until other worldly people possibility became common place mention by many, constantly increasing through the years. Now there is the Ancient Astronaut theory. Is that true? I cannot say yes or no. We have seen some interesting stuff that can point to it, going back millennia, and it is thought provoking stuff... I just need a little more proof. Like fossils or aircraft that is definitely not ours dating way back, or something very significant.

Anyway, I noticed something that happening especially while growing up, monotheistics would not believe in aliens because God created life here, no where else, or something to that affect anyway. I never saw why life on other planets was a cancellation of God, more specifically a Creator God. The prophets of the Bible left out a lot to the imagination... like dinosaurs... not to be mention a ton of other details of Earthly existence. Why not leave out our brothers and sisters across the universe? The universe is so massive, and increasingly getting bigger, the elements of life landed to Earth and created the conditions of intelligent life’s beginning, why couldn’t it have happened somewhere else? Would seem like He or She wasted space, and a lot of it, if not.

Interestingly enough the thought in extraterrestrial life has now became a belief of the majority of the public, the Pope said there was a possibility of life on other planets, and so on. The Drake Equation points to them not being too far away. I just do not understand why religion rejected the idea so much so very. There are UFOs in famous Christian paintings, so really it is not ridiculous that there is intelligent somewhere. Now is they have been here? Who knows and it will be a very long time before that question could ever be answered. At least that is my thought.

In my own opinion, as a Buddhist, I think there are a lot

more people caught in the Samsara than just the beings on the planes on this planet that we as Buddhists know are here. Maybe the sightings of UFOs are just those of higher planes dropping in to say “hi”? Whatever may be the truth regarding intelligent life outside of Earth, or weird sightings of something, make no impact on my religious practice or beliefs.
