http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/the-gods-must-be-crazy/ Back in December, a little-known group called the Raelians briefly gained media notoriety after its planned mega-orgy, an event for world peace scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv on International Orgasm Day (more commonly known as Dec. 21), was cancelled amid public pressure.  en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-02-02T;21:51:01-05:00 danbloom@gmail.com Actually, this group of Raelians was founded by a French hippie in the 1960s, and the name of the group, the Raelians, is from the word ISrael. See? It’s a New Age concoction of UFO belief, sexual freedom and unmitigated gall, so much so that even Charles DeGaulle would be offended by this Frenchman’s chutzpah mixed with fekarkta global silliness. But he has adherents all over the globe now, and there are lectures by the leader in most wealthy countries around the world now, from Japan to the USA. But basically, Ben, this group is harmless. They mean well. They believe in world peace. They are just rowing the boat with one oar out the water, that’s all. Google the name or look them up at Wikipedia. They’ve been around for a long long time, and they are very very real. They are Raelians. Get it? Real? Israel? It’s New Age meets globalism. But they are not in any way Jews, and they do not practice Judaism at all. Whoever told the reporter that was fooling him. It’s a New Age religion. Quite interesting, too. The leader actually has met some UFO people and even met God a long time ago, he says. Won der full!
