A match made in the heavens (Uranus?) - Rael & Eminem

SouthFlorida.com | CELEBRITY NEWS :
"Rael [the retired French racing car driver formerly known as Claude Vorilhon] founded the controversial movement -- whose followers believe they're descendants of aliens -- in 1973, after he claimed to have had a UFO encounter."

Biblical Greek scholars will recall that the Greek word commonly rendered as "heavens" in the New Testament is ouranos from which the planet Uranus takes its name. I don't know if Rael's space pals came from Uranus, maybe they came from his. Anyway, it is remarkably appropriate that Detroit rapper Eminem (the artist formerly known as Marshall Mathers before he was known at all) has been declared by Rael to be an honorary priest of his UFO cult in recognition of the rapper's work for world peace.

With this sort of endorsement, what's next for Eminem? The Nobel Peace Prize? A place in the Miss Universe pageant?

The Raelians have made headlines in 2002 by claiming to have cloned a human being in search of "eternal life and perpetual orgasms through cloning" (Sounds oxymoronic to me.), frequently going topless in public to protest for peace, and three Raelian females even stripped totally naked at a federal office building in the Westwood section of LA in March 2003 to protest the war in Iraq. In October 2004, Rael appeared in Playboy with three nude female followers. This campaigning for peace is hard work, how does the man keep it up?

WARNING: Rael the topless cultist should not be confused with Rael the topless model, $50 (Australian) per hour - nude 50% higher fee: Rael the Aussie model
