why do athiests/pedophiles need a religion when they already have one. i mean, you have to have a lot of faith to believe life appeared out of nowhere with no proper, logical explanation

TVC15 · « **Reply #4 on:** April 23, 2009, 05:00:13 PM »

I'm a Raelian. It's the best religion out there. You get your freaky scifi religion, founded by a french race car driver, no less, with none of the baness of Mormonism or Scientology. Plus they are into nudity and orgies. The christian bible, and probably others, are also completely compatible.

I like your fixed fee structure. In some religions no matter how much insurance you pay you're never really guaranteed it even covers your down payment on a nice apartment in heaven.

$14.95. Do what you want. Brilliant.

Raelians are all about peace and love and ending all wars. And aliens that look exactly like humans, but the Raelians still dress like traditional grey aliens when they have parties for some non-apparent reason.

Also, the Raelian movement has the distinct advantage of not being a joke religion even though it is awesomely ridiculous.

Rael today:

Rael in the 60s (I'd hit it--he also did Brel covers):

I can't find any pics of him in the 70s as a race car driver. He apparently still does it as a hobbyist, which makes it difficult to date the photos I find.

Probably. The Xeno and Raelian canons appear to be remarkable similar in their basically nonsensical insanity.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #40 on:** April 24, 2009, 12:06:42 AM »

Rael's songs are surprisingly decent, but as messiah figure of an international religion you'd think he'd be able to find a real backing band.

It's seriously like the best religion ever

+Atheistic
+UFOs
+Encompasses all other major religions
+Cloning
+Jacques Brel
+Nudity, sex, orgies
+Encourages world peace and love, unlike all other major religions

If this were a sane world, this would be more popular than Islam and Christianity combined. Jesus Himu is dumb.

There is no deity. Humanity was cloned from aliens called the Elohim. All the stories in all of the holy books are literally true, except it was the Elohim, not a god or magic powers, that did them. Humans corrupted these stories into religions. All of this was revealed to Rael in the early 70s by a 4 foot tall human/alien named Yahweh.

Well, yes, but some countries never let the Raelian Movement establish itself within their borders, because the original (?) Raelian symbol had, of course, a swastika in it. So maybe there are some nationalities that aren't represented. But it is most popular in SE Asia, particularly Korea and Japan.

I've seen a couple of documentary programs (well, the muck-raking shit that passes for non-NHK documentaries in Japan, anyway) about Raelism here. They basically center on cute young Japanese girls being conned, raped and brainwashed by filthy old Koreans. It scratches a major societal itch.

Don't mistake my dismissal of Discordianism as disrespect or anything--I just mean to spell out that Raelism was founded as an actual religion, whereas Discordianism was some wacky shit made up by hippies at least partially as a lark.
