[edit] Fork

It is simply too confusing to have two different articles called Raëlianism and Raëlism. There seem to be quite sufficient articles on this subject already. I recommend user:Kmarinas86 to improve existing articles rather than creating this, excessively long fork.

Please comment at Talk:Raëlism#Do not merge Raëlianism with Raëlism, not here. -- RHaworth 17:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category Atheism is dubious and unsupported by reliable sources.

The category of atheism is for movements, ideas, and articles that are specifically related to "atheist" or "atheism" and not just for anything that you think has nothing to do with no god. This article doesn't mention "atheist" or "atheism" and the only mention of god is in a quote from a primary source, "They gave us a message saying there is no god, no soul, we have been created in a laboratory ...". Though 'a'-'theism' is about having no belief in god etc, replacing one fictional entity with another called the Elohim makes it disingenuous to tag this article as something related to Atheism unless you can show a reliable source that makes this claim. Given James R. Lewis book is called "The Gods Have Landed: New Religions from Other Worlds"... the references used to support this category better be robust and in the majority rather than lone voices.

[edit] Abdullah Hashem

It might be worth noting that the IRM has since tried to slander and defame Abdullah Hashem, and is currently suing him under the RICO act. Sounds very fishy... ~~A Muslim04:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)~

  • It's fishy in both ways. Both the IRM and Hashem have been trying to slander and defame each other. This point and your point can't be made however, unless the media makes a new article about this. Past articles have only talked much about Hashem's "infiltration" and not so much the whole schpeel about Raelians trying to sue Hashem and all the characters involved.
