How it would effect our society ? well we would be in a mass toilet paper shortage , Facebook propaganda would go wild, it would all be trumps fault , the list gos on and on , o there would be something about race about it, im sure. it would be just like The War Of The Worlds only with social media.

James, yesterday you asked for prayers for your granddaughter. Now today you are back to stirring up the pot on someone’s faith. Maybe you should get on your knees and pray for your granddaughter also.
It is more blessed to give than to receive

Suppose an alien spacecraft arrived and communicated peaceful intentions. How would it affect your life? probably not that much why would we be the only life in the universe
How would it affect our society? I am sure some people would go nuts about it
The geopolitical establishments? don't expect the theme to change much to do so would be to change human nature , now the alphabet agencies would all want to know what tech they could gain from the aliens
Your religious faith? Or your belief in God? not really I don't take possession of my god and try and make him in my image
Would some people call them demons? very possibly some people call anything they don't understand a demon
I think our whole society could collapse. And that it would affect the faith of many: how could we still claim to be the pinnacle of God's creation?
we could be the ones out exploring the universe , we could be much further than we are , we have a nice place to live and lack the motivation to put so much energy into getting to other planets.
are we the pinnacle of gods creation ? we are free beings given free will , where did it say we are the pinnacle I figure I am at a couple percent Neanderthal they have found Philippine tribes as much as 5% DNA from a pre humane evolutionary step.
would it change that I want to go fishing ? would it change that I want to go hunting ?
would it change that I like to eat the foods I do?
would it change the other things I enjoy doing or spending time with family?

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Id pour it a whiskey. Id have a couple with it. When it was getting relaxed id act like i was pouring it another and slip it in a rear naked choke. Skinny neck, fat head, it couldnt escape. Then id drag it in a parachute like will smith in independence day to the white house to joe and kamala. Id explain to them this is how u handle aliens. Then id punch them both in the face. Best comment I've read on this site in a while!

And what if, after we were able to interpret what they're saying, it turned out they were missionaries spreading the gospel? You can't assume what their values and beliefs would be based on your own bias. Mike

There used to be a fellowship among Alaskan forum members here, but over recent years I've noticed the nastiness on this forum has increased. So I suppose the demise of the Alaskan fellowship was inevitable.
Mike you couldn't do what you say. Trust me on this.
But what do you think about my first contact questions?
I'm interested in others' input because I'm working on a SF story with this theme. I think we'd see a recreation of the first contacts between Europeans, with their advance technology, and the Amerindians. What happened to the Indians' culture and society?
Jim I don't feel any fellowship with townie Alaskans. However, the nastiness seems to be related to their former leader who was the king of nasty. He probably picked it up from being a twitter hero. I'm trying to just remain as nasty as I always was. Which I consider medium nasty.
Who is John Galt?

How I would react depends on where I got the news on this...Fox or CNN. Then I'd have to guess if it was real or not.

James, are you really bored or something? Kinda seems like it.:)
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Part of the population would say it was a government trick , part would be excited, and part would scream the anti Christ is here. And while we were fighting among ourselves they would be doing what ever they really came here for and humoring a lower life form. Tru-dat!
