This is making me think of the Ray Bradbury story where astronauts reach another planet with alien life and the aliens don’t give a shit about them because Jesus happens to have just arrived as well and the astronauts are boring compared to that. The aliens treat him excellently rather than crucifying him. I think about what Ray was saying about us with that story a lot.
I can’t say I know this story, but I do have a comic somewhere where aliens meet a priest who asks if Jesus visited them and they reply Jesus still often does many times cause he was praised and welcomed by them. The priest then says: “Still visits often? We’re still waiting for his first return”, to which the Alien asks: “Why, what did you do to him?” 😅

Somewhere in the corner, Joseph Smith is scribbling furiously…
