Jason Fleming commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends

Jason Fleming replied to Jessica Berman's discussion Alien life and religion

Jason Fleming replied to Jessica Berman's discussion Alien life and religion
"No. Even when you can manage to shake their faith in a prescribed religion, they often just become universalist or deists. Sometimes the path to atheism, but not always.
