A Republican Texas state congressman on Friday was instantly buried in mockery after he began musing about the possibilities of converting space aliens to Christianity.

Texas State Rep. Jonathan Stickland reacted to reports about declassifying information on UFO sightings by stating that any aliens aboard the ships would have to accept Jesus Christ into their hearts if they wanted a chance at eternal paradise.

“IF aliens are real, salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way they enter Heaven,” wrote Stickland, who describes himself as a “Christian Conservative Liberty-Loving Republican.”

Stickland’s Twitter followers quickly piled on to ridicule his notions of bringing extraterrestrials to Jesus — check out some reactions below.

The comments are brutal.

2. While the evangelicals I know, won't try to convert the "demons". That might be a first for Baptists

[LakeArenal]

3. First we send missionaries to the mother ship

Then we serve them the holy alcohol, then we steal their culture and enslave the barbarians.

[Wounded Bear]

10. No, then we sneak in the Holy Hand Grenade...

4. They also need to accept Donald Trump as their ruler chosen by God

20. Might be a good time to give Strickland a "cognitive" test. He'd probably amaze people, too. n/t

6. The space aliens are good buddies with Jesus.

They meet up regularly.

Last time Jesus came to earth, we crucified him. Do you think he wants to come back?

7. Read science fiction story--god tells priest he's given up on humanity, sends priest to aliens

Read this story years ago, possibly in Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

Priest is very upset, challenges god. He eventually realizes god is doing the right thing in abandoning humanity.

He tells a few clergy friends before he leaves for aliens' planet. Those left behind realize god has indeed abandoned them. Maybe altars, etc collapse, break. I no longer remember.

Ckergy left on earth try to figure out what to do

11. The imbecile clearly doesn't know his own religion.

According to most flavors of Christianity, human beings need salvation though Jesus because human beings sin, without exception. The Bible is very clear on this point. However, extraterrestrials aren't human beings, and they may not sin at all. If they don't sin, they have nothing to be forgiven for, so they don't need Jesus to go to Heaven.

24. I believe C.S. Lewis wrote a trilogy

of fantasy books on just this theme. IIRC one of the titles was “The Dark Planet”. The dark planet being of course Earth.

25. That sounds interesting, I'll have to look it up.

Yeah, I love the assumption by Christian assholes like this guy, that hypothetical aliens couldn't possibly be morally superior to him.

[Thomas Hurt]

13. This is kind of funny since there is the conspiracy theory on the right...

that we have already been infiltrated by alien lizardmen. They run governments in secret of course.

I imagine they are part of the deep state and work with Soros.

Strickland should get right on saving them.

[LakeArenal]

15. Yes taken from the Holy Scripts...

14. Wouldn't the aliens need to contribute tithes to the Prosperity Gospel preacher first?

Maybe they could pay in Bitcoin?

19. Reminds me of a joke.

The aliens arrive on earth. But they're peaceful and happy, and everyone loves them. Obviously humanity has tons of questions they'd like to ask them so the UN decides to arrange a conference. All the world leaders, public intellectuals, and religious heads are in attendance to ask their most burning questions.

Finally it is the Pope's turn to ask a question. "I was wondering," he asks, "have you ever heard of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?"

"Jay-Cee? Yes, of course!" replies one of the aliens. "He stops by our planet every couple of years and we throw a big party."

The Pope looks baffled. "You must be mistaken," he muses. "Jesus Christ was here about two thousand years ago, but he left, and we've been waiting for his return ever since. Why would he visit you so often?"

"Well.." the alien answers as they look at each other, puzzled. "Maybe your chocolate wasn't good."

"Pardon me? Chocolate?" the Pope asks.

"Yeah, when Jay-Cee first showed up on our planet we gave him a really great box of chocolate," replies the alien. "Why...what did you guys do?"

21. He's so bad, that he didn't seek re-election

22. Does that wasted orgasm realize that if aliens can reach us, we won't be converting them to

anything, in fact we will be overwhelmed by a superior intellect.

[GulfCoast66]

23. Wow. Just wow.

This is the Republican Party today.

If life exists outside this solar system, which I don’t doubt, and if they were intelligent enough to figure out faster then light speed travel or some other way to get here, they would study us like we study chimps. Or iguanas.

I don’t believe other life forms have been here. I can’t rule it out because I have no proof. Just like I don’t call myself an atheist because I can’t prove there is no god.

But the crazy idea that aliens have crashed here is, well, crazy. Like a culture that can travel across interstellar space somehow or another can’t handle the rather mild gravity well of the earth and crashes? Please. Just another symptom of humans thinking the universe revolves around us.
