I don't believe in God necessarily nor do I disbelieve in him.
But it's a pretty fucking alien concept

Is God alien? Yes. Is God an alien?? C'mon dude...
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

So that's far fetched but believing an invisible man is going to send you to a fieryy burning oblivion for all of eternity for touching your dick is resonable?

I think it's just consciousness repeated infinitely across some sort of physical plan. You are an echo of the universe and what ever is outside it/deep within it. As within, so without mannnnnnnnnn There's no separation between what is "it" and what is you and everything else.

I believe through man's history, advanced alien species have been interpreted or understood as God(s) … however, it is quite possible they are native to our planet and/or came here before modern humans entered the equation. I believe a fair amount of early man's creation mythology has something to do with advanced alien beings whether they be inter dimensional or physical.
However, I think God, meaning the uber power of the universe is simply the conscious awareness of all that is and has no real interest at all in our drama here on earth and certainly not in listening to and answering "prayers." This God is simply the most refined and aware energy in the universe, not some super-santa making lists and checking them twice.
-------------------- "The universe is endless, limitless and infinite. Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance. We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end. There is only memory. Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends. Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations. Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death." -- Ancient Taoist Master

God IS you. There is no point in the inside world and outside world that isnt you.
The sensation of your body and mind being separate from everything is an illusion.
YOU ARE CONSTRUCTING THIS WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT. ALL THE GLORY, ALL THE DOOM, THE SANITY AND MADNESS ITS ALL YOU IN YOUR MANY GUISES.

The notion of God being an alien seems very human-centric and not very God-like... so I'm going to go with no.

If you consider God an alien you are placing him outside yourself. How can something that is everything stand apart from you? You are the realest thing you know.

The highest God.
The God that is All Things. The One that Encompasses Everything. Thats not the God most religious people believe in, but its the God that the mystics of their religions know to be the Highest.
A God that is only Good is not the man in charge. It needs to encompass everything, Good and Evil, virtuousness and sin, the most distant photon of the Big Bang must be accounted for, else you talk to a middle man, not THE God.

Perhaps there's the "big God" and there are some sub Gods going on too???
Maybe God has several layers of management going on?

Thats absolutely how it is (or at least how I'm taught) You yourself are a Middle Man, just like the chair you sit on and Jesus.
Picture it like this, for simplicity:
You have a building component. It has everything there ever can be inside it in latent form, and only its nature at the time in its manifest form.
Now picture that absolutely everything is made of these building components.
Now picture that every building component evolves eternally to a higher form, a higher manifestness, a journey from the Smallest Thing (maybe a photon) to the Biggest Thing (The Multiverse Entirely.) And once it is Biggest, it becomes Smallest again.
Got that metaphor? Read it again if you don't grasp it. Got it?
Now picture that ALL these building blocks are in fact multiple manifestations of one single building block that is all things.
THere is only One and the ILLUSION of Many, and YOU ARE THAT ONE.
Have one, its on the house.

But how do we know he is everything, or even there, I'm not saying he is or isn't I'm just curious to here your view on it.
