http://www.jayweidner.com/ShiningSecrets.html - you gotta check this site out.

this guy is fucking nuts but he makes an incredibly inventive case - hell, he makes a series of cases! - to support his central thesis: that stanley kubrick was involved in faking the televised moon landings while he was working on 2001 and altered the story behind ( Read more... )

This is the kind of stuff I spend whole Saturdays just going over, because it's sooo weird and sooo out there that I'm just boggled that 1) someone takes it really, really seriously, and 2) that someone spent all that time making a website about it. Same goes for all the lizard people and aliens-are-interbreeding-with-us people. But I guess they have to get the word out, and a thorough website may be the best way. I mean, how else would I have learned about Raëlism?

great, now i HAVE to go look up raelism...

and i'm not an expert at understanding people or what motivates them, but i think "crazy" is as adequate or meaningful a descriptor as necessary for why people do some of the shit they do.

that sounds dismissive but, to me, it's more about just accepting that some stuff is, frankly, beyond comprehension.

aside from their kinky sexcapades, they don't sound all that crazier than a lot of other religions - in my own little continuum of faith, i'd file them in the category of "harmless kooks."

except for the idea of somehow reclaiming the swastika - c'mon, man: that's just nuts. i don't care if it was a symbol of good luck for millennia [or if aliens told you to work on this], some things are just beyond salvaging.

It's true that Raelians aren't that kooky, and I did only use them as an example because I couldn't think of that old lady who said that an alien goddess visited her and made her a prophet. I want to say they were from Uranus, but I'm not sure.

But, I do have to give props to the Raelians not just for all the sex and the swastika tattoos, but also for their leader being a former French race car driver.
