winnower..
The very nature of your question shows the JW mindset.
Why would you assume such a superior position that the alien needs you to teach it something?
I find one of the biggest problems with JWs is that they have mouths and no earsWhat??? anyways.. ...This agnostic isnt teaching anyone anything. Im simply saying given the nature of Christianity I could see Christian leaders forcing or othewise leading christianity upon OF ALL THINGS an intelligent being from another planet. ...so chill out already.

Lets turn this around. What if he came here to preach it to us. Do you think any more people would believe it?Hey Dog if an alien came to out planet I would be intrested in Anything he had to say!!! Lets see, he could say "My race had a hand in creating you guys" or "My race on my planet live and breath and exist in this way...." whatever. However, if that alien said "Jesus Christ is Lord and I have come to your planet to preach him to you ...." then id have to rethink some things. I highly doubt that he would know who Jesus is. I think anyone would be intrested in whatever he had to say but I still think Christian leaders of this world would try to salvage whatever they could from thier theology to prove anything they could faced with this new circumstance.
Their are "Christian Scientists" that face this question all the time. Brother Guy Consolmagno for example is a leading Vatican Scentist who says..." Do aliens need to be saved? Depends if they are subject to "original sin" or not. The traditional theology of original sin, tracing it back to the origins of the human race, says absolutely nothing about other entities, either way. Once we find other intelligences, we'll be in a better position to expand that theology"....You want to talk about stubborn Thats stubborn!The point im making with this question is that its going to be really hard for religion to die out. Christianity is faced with a growing amount of skepticism and a hypothetical situation such as I mentioned is my way of saying its going to stay around in some form or another for those who dont want it to die.EVEN IF AN ALEN came from another planet and showed us that he came to life on his planet just as we are on our planet and throughout the universes exist life, even then Christianity would die a slow death.

Nope, Jesus came here to die for us. If his species goofed it up and lost their chance at life, then let another messiah go die for them on their planet.
Spaghetti Monster Damn IT!! BAH! Tired of the hypocrisy beat me to it. I would have added a "neener neener, we have a messiah, did you guys get one yet?" .... Soo my addition will be.... umm.... Alien: "Greetings Earthling, we have come in peace" Me: "So, this is interesting, welcome to Earth, *small talk* etc". Alien: "So, uhh, you guys figured out what life is about yet?" Me: "Nope, You?" Alien: "Nope..."
*awkward silence* Me: "So ever had baby back ribs? I was thinking we could go out to Applebees, toss a few back and catch up on this "there is life out there" deal. Sound good?" Alien: "Sure, does Applebees have Grain Belt Premium on tap?" Me: If not, we'll go somewhere else.
