I don't think you are just half as zealous as them, I think you are more zealous was my point. You were saying you aren't that zealous.

just making things clear

hehe.. Thanks! I hope I'm zealous.

Interesting you say that considering the whole post was insinuating that it is bad that these people are so fervent.

I bet I'm the only one here that knows a Raelian. Personally. I, in fact, work with a Raelian High Priest.

I can't stand their terminology, it's all messed up. Since a priesthood implies offering sacrifice to God or at least a god, why do these people who are atheists feel the need to call themselves priests? Is it like half the terminology they employ, as simply a mockery of true religion?

Most people aren't too receptive to the 29-year-old faith that wants to replace all previous religions with a doctrine resembling a blend of "Star Trek" and "The Joy of Sex," and whose global conference center in Valcourt, Quebec, east of Montreal, is called UFOland.

This was precisely my thought after I read the raelian's website. The science they present is lame, the relious ideas are ever worse. It's just a bunch of bogus sci-fi ideas mixed with a good old fashions pagan sex-cult.

What really cracks me up about the guy in the article (Marc) is that he works in Statistical thinking and Quantitative Measures.

How he blends the logical and the illogical is beyond me.
