Over the past seven years or so, I have noticed that Christianity has been
picking up more and more flying saucer urban legends and including them
into their religion. It is an interesting phenomena to observe from the
outside though few Christians on the inside seem to be aware of what they're
doing.
All religions mutate over time and seek to include contemporary fears,
preconceptions, and prejudices, yet never before has the Christian cult
sought with such effort to tie flying saucers to their "Satan"
god or to their "demons" gods.

DEFENSE CHEIF WARNS OF 'SATANIC UFOs'
A former head of the Armed Forces has helped to form a pressure group to
warn of the satanic nature of many unidentified flying objects.
Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, Chief of Defence Staff, 1971-73,
is involved with UFO Concern out of worry that some UFO encounters are
"definitely antithetical to orthodox Christian belief", according
to today's Church Times.
The Rev Paul Inglesby, a sub-deacon in an Orthodox church, who is
secretary of UFO Concern, said the truth about UFOs has been suppressed
for many years. He had never seen a UFO himself but knew many who had.
"It is what they do and the messages that come from them that are
anti-Christian, or demonic." A memo about the new group had been sent
to the editors of various UFO magazines, and letters of support had been
received by, among others, a professor and a prisoner he added.
Gordon Creighton, a Buddhist who edits Flying Saucer Review, said the
group's founders were right to be concerned: "I do believe that the
great bulk of these phenomena are what is called satanic."
However, David Wilkinson, a Methodist minister and an astrophysicist
whose "Alone In The Universe" (Monarch L7.99) was published this
month, told Church Times that Christians had nothing to fear from alien
life forms.
Lord Hill-Norton, 82, confirmed last night that he had helped to found
UFO Concern, but declined further comment.
