Raelians: sounds like a cheesy name for a race of science fiction movie aliens. However, Raelians are human and, whether due to amazing scientific breakthroughs or a media-hype fraud, this UFO cult made recent headlines. Raelians run a company called Clonaid and claim to have successfully cloned the first human. The general public, scientists, our president, and even the Pope have all weighed in denouncing the very thought of human cloning by this group of renegades. Who are the Raelians and how did they manage to attract so much attention?

Successful cloning is one of the basic goals driving the Raelian movement. Well, that and plenty of sensual meditation and free love. Science is their religion. There is no soul and there is no mythical god or gods. They claim that DNA-tinkering aliens created all life 25,000 years ago. Now that the human race has matured enough to understand the scientific world, the aliens are planning a return trip to our planet to have a little chat with us about peace, love, and living forever.

Claude Vorilhon started the cult in 1973. At the time he was a French racecar driver and magazine journalist with dreams of racing Formula One. Those dreams were supplanted by higher aspirations when an alien parked its spaceship in front of Claude one night and enlightened him about Earth life's true origin. The alien explained that all religions were based on mistaken identity. For instance, the Hebrew word Elohim in the Bible is mistranslated as “god” when it should mean beings “from the sky.” Religions' great prophets were supposedly messengers from the Elohim; Jesus' resurrection was actually ancient cloning in action.

The alien tapped Claude to be the final prophet and bestowed upon him the name Rael, which means messenger. Rael was tasked with announcing the alien's revelation to the world and building an embassy to welcome back the aliens sometime in the not-too-distant future. It was also revealed to him that the Elohim specially created him. They had kidnapped his mother, impregnated her, and wiped her memory clean of the incident. I imagine Rael feels pretty darn special!

As any good modern prophet does, Rael wrote a few books and rounded up some followers who are required to tithe a percentage of their income to Rael. In 1975, the Elohim came back and whisked Rael away to their planet where he hung out with Jesus, Buddha, Joseph Smith and Confucius.

The Raelians were brushed off as yet another goofy UFO cult, but the membership spread from France to the international community anyways. The Raelians now claim a worldwide membership of 55,000—or 40,000, depending on the source. They even operate a theme park called UFOland in Quebec. They occasionally made a nuisance of themselves, though. In the early 1990s they annoyed the Canadian public when they distributed free condoms to high school students, and this past October they hung out at the schools again urging students to renounce their Catholicism and get “de-baptized.” Raelians claim monotheism is the “root of evil” and they feel that the Elohim want humans to enjoy a sensuous life, free from the restrictions of religious morality. It is highly possible that the no-guilt atmosphere for sexual experimentation is what attracts new converts. . .

The Official Raelian Symbol gets its swastika back
After 15 years wearing a symbol without the original swastika when traveling in Europe and America, Rael, founder and leader of the Raelian Movement has decided to make the original symbol, the Star of David intertwined with a swastika, the only official symbol of the Raelian Movement worldwide.
Out of respect to the Jewish people who may feel bad seeing the swastika associated to the Star of David in the original symbol, Rael agreed to remove the swastika and replace it by a swirling galaxy in Europe and America. However this courteous gesture didn’t help educate people so that they know this symbol is the symbol of the Scientists who created us, symbol that has been given to every one of their Messengers, which explains why we find it on every continent, usually associated to spiritual and peaceful groups.

Cult re-adopts swastika

The Raelian movement, an atheistic cult that claims humans were created by aliens, has reverted to its original symbol: a swastika inside a Star of David.
The movement, established by former French racing car driver
Claude Vorhilon,

http://www.fims.uwo.ca/newmedia/newmedia2002/raelians/graphics/halorael.jpg
says its swastikas are an ancient symbol of peace. The group stopped using the symbol in 1992, replacing the swastika with a cross, when it offended Jews they had approached for support.

Jews are important targets of the cult since Rael, Vorhilon’s adopted name, believes the ancient race of aliens he refers to as the Elohim created the human race in what is now Israel. The group has been trying to establish an embassy in Jerusalem for years, claiming the Elohim will return once the embassy is built, but the Israeli government has rebuffed the group’s efforts.

The Raelian Web site, at raelianews.org, states that Raelians are “now joining with Hindus and Buddhists to educate the rest of the population about the true history of the swastika and to make sure their symbol is forever respected.”

http://www.cynical-c.com/archives/bloggraphics/Rael_book.jpg On the 13th of December 1973, French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from another planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth.

The extra-terrestrial human being was a little over four feet tall, had long dark hair, almond shaped eyes, olive skin, and exuded harmony and humor. Rael recently described him by saying quite simply, "If he were to walk down a street in Japan, he would not even be noticed." In other words, they look like us, and we look like them. In fact, we were created "in their image" as explained in the Bible.

He told Rael that:

"We were the ones who designed all life on earth"
"You mistook us for gods"
"We were at the origin of your main religions"
"Now that you are mature enough to understand this,we would like to enter official contact through an embassy"
