Talk:Raëlian beliefs and practices

message: It is simply too confusing to have two different articles called Raëlianism and Raëlism. There seem to be quite sufficient articles on this subject already. I recommend user:Kmarinas86 to improve existing articles rather than creating this, excessively long fork.
Please comment at Talk:Raëlism#Do not merge Raëlianism with Raëlism, not here. -- RHaworth 17:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The category of atheism is for movements, ideas, and articles that are specifically related to "atheist" or "atheism" and not just for anything that you think has nothing to do with no god. This article doesn't mention "atheist" or "atheism" and the only mention of god is in a quote from a primary source, "They gave us a message saying there is no god, no soul, we have been created in a laboratory ...".
Though 'a'-'theism' is about having no belief in god etc, replacing one fictional entity with another called the Elohim makes it disingenuous to tag this article as something related to Atheism unless you can show a reliable source that makes this claim. Given James R. Lewis book is called "The Gods Have Landed: New Religions from Other Worlds"... the references used to support this category better be robust and in the majority rather than lone voices.

message: It might be worth noting that the IRM has since tried to slander and defame Abdullah Hashem, and is currently suing him under the RICO act.  Sounds very fishy...

message: Is there evidence to support claims that Raelians are linked with other sects, such as Kabbalah or the Universal White Brotherhood ? Another issue would be to try and explain why Raelians have such bad relations with mainstream monotheistic religions. ADM (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As to whether Raelians are "linked" with other sects, that depends on how much you think that members of those movements are similar to the Raelians. Those outside the movement are likely to use a prescribed umbrella term (cult, sect, etc.) to put more emphasis on their similarities rather than their differences. Most Raelians probably do not identify with either the Kabbalah or the Universal White Brotherhood. Also, the clergy of mainstream monotheistic religions generally express dissatisfaction of liberal trends which Raelians support. Upon discovering that Raelians support developments of genetically modified food, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning, very conservative clergy will think that Raelians motives posed against their religious beliefs.  The breaching of their value systems makes it easy to be in broad disagreement against the Raelian worldview.Kmarinas86 (6sin8karma) 01:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article on Raëlian cosmology is up for deletion.  Since it is broken out from this article, I would say it is relevant to discuss whether to keep or merge it.  If the article is deleted, the content will be lost.  If it is merged, this article will end up being bigger.  Rifter0x0000 (talk) 01:25, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cosmology page is up for deletion 

message: As a consensus been reashed for the merge of the article Raëlian cosmology with this article, this is a request to the admin group to kindly complete the merge and delist the origin page. Regards Wikishagnik (talk) 15:36, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
