Why would the place names change? Does God have to sacrifice himself on each planet where he created man in his own image? Why isn't the one sacrifice on Earth 2K yrs ago sufficient for all creation? I think that a theology that differs from Christianity only in that the savior's sacrifice took place on another planet to be only incrementally more unbelieveable than the standard version.

I'd ask to read their bible to see if the sun revolves around their planet, too.

"What would you do if we discovered an alien race, and they were Christian?"

Based on the experiences of the Aztecs and others who've experienced such an event, I'd run like hell.

I'd wonder how they ever developed intergalactic space travel whilst still believing in the tripe written in the bible.

I'd be forced to conclude that the discovered alien race is not intelligent.
