The exact idea of “tell aliens that I am their god” would have, if it occurred to me before, been immediately recognized as juvenile and worse than pointless. But this phrasing, especially alien teenagers, plural, spins it again to me as something that would be “totally epic” and “all my friends would totally think it was awesome” and invokes vivid images of negotiating with them about who gets to be this theology’s Jesus.
(Interestingly, I originally thought this was a reply to this comment when it appeared in my inbox, and was slightly disappointed to learn it was not.)
