Hail Caesar. so I recently watched mars on national geograpgic channel and I have been wondering in all my wisdom about what will the Christians do when we become a multiplanetary species.Now Jesus will need to come back to more than just the earth. In case Someone is confused with Mars I was revering to the planet not the Deity.

If they send a preacher to Mars will he still point up when referring to heaven and down when threatening sinners with hell?
I have little doubt that the weirdos that want to live on a red wasteland will not be very religious. by hey when god decides to destroy the earth the Marsians will be very lucky.
A Martian colony probably won't last long. A Muslim extremist will blow up the dome, killing the entire colony for the glory of Allah.
lol
Religion will do what it always does: move the goalpost.
Right. Even if a different god came to the Earth tomorrow, preformed crazy miracles for everyone to see and told the inhabitants of Earth that their religions were wrong; the apologists would just say it was the devil. Religion is un-falsifiable.
Some religious groups might see the colonization of Mars as https://pokerogue.org an opportunity to spread their beliefs to new frontiers. Missionaries or religious leaders might view the establishment of a Martian base as a chance to bring their faith to a new audience.
