Rael applauds Religulous, lambastes the pope
In an official statement released today, Rael congratulated talk show host Bill Maher and director Larry Charles on the success of their new movie, “Religulous,” which pokes fun at major religions.

To make the film, now in nationwide release, Maher, an agnostic, traveled the world with his crew, interviewing everyone from 18-wheeler drivers at a truck-stop chapel to top-ranking clergy and scientists. Polite but insistent, he asked question after question, “roasting” interviewees (with the exception of the scientists) by exposing contradictions and fallacies in their answers. The focus was on Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Despite being interviewed and early reviews stating such, Raelians didn’t make it to the top of the ‘ridiculous chart’ since we are not in the final cut.
‘Even if we had been roasted, I believe we would still have praised Religulous’ said Dr Boisselier ‘as showing the hypocrisy and absurdities of monotheism is definitely worth it’.

Along with praising Maher and Charles, Rael took the opportunity to lambaste one of his own targets, Pope Benedict XVI, who in an Oct. 5 BBC report lamented a decline of interest in the Bible and said that many people today have decided that god is dead.

“In this report, the pope, as usual, demonstrated infinite stupidity,” Rael said. “Intelligent people around the world don’t say, ‘god is dead.’ What they do say is, ‘There is no god.’ These two statements are deeply different. To be dead, you have to have been alive before. And since there never was a god, something that was never alive and never existed cannot be declared ‘dead.’ The same is true of ‘the holy spirit,’ which of course never existed, being the pure invention of primitive people.
