Steel enough gold from Fort Knox to live on easy street for the rest of my life. Hey, sometimes the simplest plans are the best plans.
Okay, here's a scenario I've been thinking about making a thread of in R&P: Aliens appear in the skies above us. They're an ancient (by our standards) star faring civilization with common sense about peace and war, etc. Basically they're what most of us consider to be highly sophisticated and amazingly mature as a society--what we're aiming for.
One catch--just as our religious folks are lining up to convert these aliens to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc the alien's own priests and priestesses appear to convert US to their own religious beliefs.
Question: How would you react to this ironic turn of events.
