Rael: Vote Kerry

Someone subscribed me to the Rael news list, and I love it! This is the religion that claimed 2004 as the international year of atheism, created the "Association for the Denunciation of Paedophilic Catholic Priests," appeared in Playboy, and asked San Francisco to create an independent gay state.

This is an exciting religion, but I have no idea what it is about. The website claims that it is: "the world's largest Atheist, non-profit UFO related organisation - over 60,000 members in 90 countries - working towards the first embassy to welcome people from space...destroying the myth of god and sweeping the world with the most politically incorrect and fearlessly individualistic philosophy of non-conformism." I really doubt that aliens visiting Earth would care whether we built an embassy for them. And if you click on "join," Rael just tries to sell you books, making it look like a scientology-like scam.

Whatever. His "holiness," Rael, is voting for John Kerry:

"I never get involved in politics when politics are only about social choices, but here we have the choice between peace and war, good and evil, freedom of science or religious conservatism which is creating a modern inquisition, either helping poor countries or state-sponsored terrorism against them under the false pretext of "war against terror", democracy or fascism, respect for the wonderful American Constitution or concentration camps like Guantanamo. (whose horrible atrocities are just starting to emerge thanks to authors like Seymour Hersch) Additionally, with Bush in office we face limits on human cloning, stem cell research, contraception, abortion, gay rights, etc. Kerry's stance on these issues is wisely in opposition to Bush and would prove beneficial to all if he is elected.

Out of respect for United States laws, the US Raelian Movement cannot officially endorse one candidate over another but can recommend voting against George Bush, who many understand illegally stole the first election, is preventing the release of the findings of the 9-11 commission until after the election because of the condemning findings (Oct 19 by Robert Scheer), is mixing church and state thus trading democracy for a theocracy, and worst of all, took the US into an illegal and completely immoral war. For me, the choice would be clear. John Kerry would be a much better president and lead humanity more safely into the future.”
