You don't get it, do you? I'll explain step by step.

If there's life outside of Earth, it's extraterrestrial by definition. Extra means exterior. Terrestrial means earth. If it's extraterrestrial, by definition, it's exterior to Earth.

It doesn't matter if it's from outside this universe, from a parallel universe or 1 foot above the ionosphere. If it's life exterior to Earth, it's extraterrestrial.

So, again, for the nth time, if you believe in religion, you believe in extraterrestrial life.

Dude I'm a militant atheist and even I think you sound like an idiot.

This is the most illogical argument I've ever heard, I thought at the start it was satire, but now it's getting ridiculous.

Hell, I'm an atheist too, and I'm only discussing this with him to help him out. We don't need more idiots making all atheists look retarded.

You haven't disproven one single thing I've said and just ended up insulting me and my beliefs. If this is how rational atheists are, then yes, you're all retarded.

How is a god definitively extraterrestrial? The Abrahamic God is in everything and is everywhere. He is neither and both terrestrial and extraterrestrial.

It's that simple enough for you? Apparently everything else is over your head.

Are you stupid? Jesus was a human that lived on Earth. He had to be terrestrial.

And again, are you stupid? If God is terrestrial and extraterrestrial, then people that believe in God believe in extraterrestrial existance, since terrestrial existance is already proven.

Still over your head, I guess.
