Religions and outer space

[peary]

I am finding that some groups have some strange views about outer space. I am sure we all remember the recent suicide cult that believed that they were going to end up on a spaceship behind that comet. In the 70’s SouthWest Radio Church claimed that sciencists spotted the New Jersulem descendig towards earth from the edge of our galaxy. At one time Jehovah’s Witnesses taught that God lived in the constellation of Pleiades. Joseph Smith taught that there were men on the moon. Brigham Young not to be out done also said men live on the Sun. Ellen White had a vision of planets, which had some facts wrong. Dake of Dake’s Study Bible beleives that there is life in outer space. The Uranta book teaches that christ came from a planet named Satania. So, have you encountered any other strange views of religions about outer space?

**Well, one of the strangest movies I ever saw was *Star Trek: The Final Frontier ***which had to do with finding God at the edge of the Universe. They didn’t find God. I don’t know what the heck they found LOL but it wasn’t God.

I also find it interesting that purported reports of “space people” seem to reveal that they have their own religion and philosophy. If one is not aware, their so-called ‘religion’ is a hodge-podge of old gnostic and contemporary theosophical thought, including bizarre Hindu beliefs and new age psycho-babble. This always leads me to believe that even UFOs are deceptive, which would be a good subject for another thread.

Please quote the Catholic teaching about this?

I have already provided that in posts #62 and #69 and #88 of this thread.
