The Magic of Sigfried and Rael

In the ancient world temples were the Las Vegas of their day. Priests in the Greek and Egyptian religions used a wide range of theatrical tricks and feats of engineering in order to amaze their followers and get those butts in the seats. How fitting is it then that a religious group wants to create their own Las Vegas attraction? (story here)

One of my favorite groups of delusional lumps of clay are the Raelians. They accept the concept of Intelligent Design but they believe the designers to be other mortals on a different planet. No word on who supposedly created the creators.

In order to spread the good word about promiscuous sex and cloned eternal life, they want to create their own "Mecca" to be called "UFOland"! It will have a 1000 seat theater for their leader Rael (former French sports-car journalist and test driver named Claude Vorilhon) to give lectures on how bad science fiction is a valid way of life.

L. Ron Hubbard is kicking himself right now. I mean really. He's with us.
