Raelians Are Fun!

Ever heard of the Raelian religion?

For those of you who don’t know, the Raelians are an organization — some would say “alien sex cult” — that believes in scientific creationism — that “aliens” came to this planet and manipulated primitive DNA in order to create humans. In 1973, French journalist Claude Vorilhon (who now goes by “Rael”) was contacted by a small alien being who told him that their race, the Elohim (“those who came from the sky”, as described in Genesis), had been the ones who had created human life on Earth, and that mankind had mistaken them for gods and built religions around them. Because of the moon landing, they felt we were mature enough to hear the truth, and dictated the Raelian message.

Boring stuff, eh? By the way, I'm not preaching them! I just want to let you know that Raelians really know how to have fun! Check these out:

Now there you know a bit why some people like to call Raelian an "alien sex cult." A seriously wonderful world, ain't it? ;-)

If only Muslims were Raelians

Why do people keep falling for religions written by professional writers? Battlefield Earth was a great novel. Scientology was scripted by a professional, small wonder entertainers are drawn to it.

But Raelianism? As you say, it has the hedonistic-thing going for it. So if the middle east went into perpetual heat, the sum of so many Raelians in one geographic area, perhaps they would not go jihad on The West one day.

I disagree. Right now the alien-encountering Raelians are one of the smallest of fish in the sea of religion. They are the fetus of a minnow. Would you really want them to become a Leviathan? If you think the Moslems pose a threat to the Judeo-Christian ethic-based West, consider what the world would be like with 1.5 billion Raelians inhabiting it. Me, I’d keep the Moslems, even your jihad-thirsty ones.

Raelianism is clearly non-Christian. However it is not undeniably unbiblical. How can it be when part of its ‘proof’ lies in the modern interpretation of biblical events? Perhaps it is anti-biblical. If one extrapolates their line of thought -- that certain prophets traveled to heaven and back in space craft – than the Glory of God is not decreased but made greater in my opinion. Man has some neat toys but God’s are out of this world. Raelianism is rather short-sided not to see that God would command The Greatest Science, I do think.

And I apologize in advance as the preceding poor pun was intended. But my point is God has the best technology in the universe because it’s His technology powered by Him. It seems to me that this is at least as believable as God’s technology being stagnated at the biblical-era level.

But Mr. Rael contributes advanced biblical-era technology to his aliens who have admitted that their ancestors were the templates for our old gods. Christians and non-Christians alike should be very afraid if Mr. Rael has been speaking with beings whose origins are on a distant world who claim to be our old gods.

Considering that Mr. Rael claims there is no soul to be lost and that he preaches freedom from basic Judeo-Christian ethics… at the very least he is a soulless (conventionally speaking) opportunistic fraud who has done his homework on UFO sightings and has put together a money-making cult that plies upon the poor, unsuspecting modern-day hedonist. It’s a sixties cult repackaged for the 21st century and being marketed as the cure-all for hedonist-based guilt trips. And being a hedonist sets him apart from more than just Judeo-Christian values. I could be wrong but I don’t believe any modern day cultures or major religions put much value hedonism. That’s just an educated guess as I am not educated as either a sociologist or as a theologian.

Now that is my belief of what Mr. Rael is at the least. At the most -- if the absurdly improbable fact is true that he speaks with aliens – and if these beings he speaks with are truly the old gods, then I for one sure wouldn’t want them coming back. No sane person who is the least bit familiar with ancient mythology would. Humans were always viewed as inferiors who existed so they could worship and otherwise serve and please the old gods. We have documented accounts of their silly whims, insensitive judgments and vicious atrocities. If these aliens are telling Mr. Rael we humans have no soul than are they not admitting they have none?

I’m sure if they believed they had souls they would have said so as these aliens, if they are the old gods, have a track history of lording their superiority over we mere humans.

No, Mr. Rael can keep his old gods. They would use mankind once again as they are indeed using him if he truly does speak to aliens and if these aliens are truthful in their claim to be the old gods.

And if both old gods and biblical prophets really did ride space craft then that rather suggests that the old gods were biblical fallen Watchers.

So at worst, Mr. Rael is a false prophet if some alien race who studied our mythos actually contacted him and then wrote themselves into our old gods’ history thinking that was a smart bit of subterfuge. At very worst Mr. Rael is The False Prophet. And the anti-Christ is arriving by space craft.

Of course, that supposes that Mr. Rael's mind didn't derail sometime back in the forties, and that he actually spoke with old-god honest aliens.

If so, how far does one trust any of them named Mr. Rael's friends named Loki, for starters?
