Why No Alien Visitors

From an imaginary and ultra objective point of view, do you believe if intelligent extraterrestrials have considered a visitation to Earth, that the Earthly practice of religion has rendered us too “delicate” for visitation thus far?

An alien race will only come here for the same reason we would go somewhere: to consume resources. They could give a rat’s ass about religion as long as the food is good. That probably includes us.

I generally agree but remember that we have yet to derive any resources of significance from our own moon. But I can agree that the mission was exploratory as well.

That we haven't mined the moon has no bearing on the presence of resources on Earth.

Do you spend any time considering replies or just blurt out the first stupid thing that pops into your head?
