An 8-year-old boy who drew a swastika as part of a holiday assignment at James McDivitt Elementary School did nothing wrong and should not have been reprimanded by school officials, according to members of the International Raelian Movement. “The swastika is part of the official Raelian symbol,” wrote Raelian Guide Thomas Kaenzig in a letter to Samuel B. Stewart, superintendent of schools in Middlesex County. “There cannot be a more sacred symbol for us Raelians and this is also the case for the billions of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and members of other religions on this planet,” Kaenzig wrote. The child...

A prophet, who now goes by the name “Rael,” once encountered space aliens who told him the secret of life. Later, his followers, “the Raelians,” set up an advocacy group to expose pedophilia in the Roman Catholic Church. But the group’s work was frustrated when Pope Benedict XVI (a.k.a. Joe Ratzinger) covered up the crimes of Catholic priests, in an effort to discredit the Raelians and suppress their message.

"I encourage you to explore what more and more people are calling 'polyamory,' which means loving many people simultaneously and with no jealousy," he said. .... "If she (Elin Nordgren) doesn't get therapy, you will be better off divorcing such a...

The world, according to followers of the prophet Rael, would be a better place if all people embraced their feminine side. In furtherance of this goal, nearly a dozen scantily-clad Raelians paraded on Lincoln Road Sunday for Femininity Day. Decked in goddess garb -- butterfly wings, pasties and sparkly purple wraps -- the seven women marched from Washington Avenue to Alton Road, carrying signs and passing out fliers to bring others to the cause. They were joined by three men -- one a buff, blonde massage therapist from Switzerland who wore only a Speedo. ''The body is beautiful and we...

I may have spent the last few years shrugging off signs of the apocalypse — fires, floods, war, famine, the strange meanderings of Nostradamus matching up with newspaper front pages — but now that rapper Eminem has been named an honorary priest, I'm going to stop looking for signs. I do believe it's time to start building that reinforced bunker in my back yard and renew my NRA membership. In a press release the French-born alien cult known as the Raelians explained the priesthood was in acknowledgement of the rapper's recent Bush-bashing single, "Mosh." Eminem earns some bragging rights on...

Appeal to the International Criminal Court Press release - France had taken a courageous position against the war in Irak, before the United States took actions against this country. President Chirac reacted with good common sense, as a world in Peace is the most preferable and constructive, and he was relayed by millions of pacifist demonstrators in the first few weeks of 2003. This did not stop George W. Bush, President of the USA, from sending his troops and, since one year and a half, from ravaging the country as we know it today. All this under the pretext of...

The controversial cult which claims to have cloned five babies says it has discovered a way of reversing the ageing process. The Raelian sect believes it can use stem cells to turn back the clock on any part of the body. It says it has already carried out experiments which involve shortening ageing human DNA, which stretches over time. The sect's claims are sure to reignite the controversy surrounding human cloning and the use of stem cells, which are obtained from foetuses. Experts have admitted the techniques used are "good science" and that reversing ageing is "theoretically possible". However, they...

Waltham, Mass. -- Linus Torvalds won't render his own verdict on SCO Group's legal case against IBM until the Unix code in question is revealed in court. In an e-mail response to CRN, Torvalds, widely considered the father of Linux, said he is awaiting judgment until SCO identifies the Unix code IBM allegedly misappropriated and handed over to the open-source community. But at this point, he said he's skeptical the case has merit. "SCO isn't even telling what they have, and I'm not a lawyer anyway," Torvalds wrote.
