Russian Cleric Says Angels & Demons Do Exist, But Aliens Are A Myth

Last edited Wed Apr 10, 2013, 12:09 PM - Edit history (1)

MOSCOW, April 9 (RIA Novosti) – Angels and demons do really exist, but are often mistaken for "so-called aliens" by those who encounter them, a senior Russian Orthodox Church clergyman said.

“They are real creatures, humans come into contact with them as they sometimes reveal themselves,” Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, who oversees the Church’s public relations, told RIA Novosti in an interview when asked about Christianity’s attitude to ufology.

When speaking about the meteorite that fell on Russian territory in February, Chaplin said that people should always remember that life is fragile, “even without any meteorites.”

I would love to watch his brain short out on that one.
