If there's one take away from thinking about extraterrestrial life it's that we should really appreciate what we are (or what we perceive or understand ourselves to be). To be a sentient being that appears to be biological and of free thought and movement on a natural planet is a gift greater than any religion can bull**** up for it's followers.
Of course whether we are what we think we are is up for debate and there's a chance we're not at all what we think we are. But even if you believe in what we're told we are, enjoy the hell out of it and maximize every opportunity and be everything you can be.
