Raelian Citizenship Ceremony

Monday December 10, 2007
I think I would have assumed this would be accomplished first by an Atheist, but I just have to love the idea that it was a Raelian who convinced Federal officials to change the citizenship oath to exclude mentions of god. Raelians do not generally believe in gods, but aver that life was created on earth by an advanced extra-terrestrial civilization.

(1) Attilio Louis Ferreri says:

But what was before whichever extra-terrestrial beings one wishes to believe-in as the founders of our existence on earth? I have written an article: “Genesis for the XXIst Century” which I sent to the Cercle Medieval Francophone which should help on this issue. They have not confermed reception yet. It amazes me how even a clever man like Sir Laurence Gardner can accept exclusive Raelian-solutions which I consider possible, however together with the necessary existence of a heavenly purely spiritual Being the Original Creator of All there is. Thank you.
