So apparently the scriptues demand the descendents of Abraham colonize the stars.

Maybe he'll give NASA more funding

My guess is, they're simply taking the statement of "Go forth and multiply" to its logical extreme. In principle, I'm not disagreeing with the idea. What did bother me was the FAQ, where they brilliantly answered the obvious question ("Hey, maybe you're all, you know, nuts?") by showing all the overt signs of being so. But after reading it for a while, aside from their strange views on races and peoples, it does come across as a cheerfully crazy attempt at a big happy space family. Or Regathering. Whatever.

Now, I know I'm going off on a tangent here, but that page can surely not be meant for human eyes. If that had been the intention, they should have made allowance for aesthetics. And pain tolerance.

My eyes hurt...I can't look at that site for more than about five seconds.

What is it about? Raelian offshoots or something?

So, don't be quick to criticize or condemn. For you may find yourself having to eat a LOT of crow. (Matthew 7:1-2)
My favorite passage of the Bible. :P

i.e. people who don't like us are just stupid.
and perhaps a bit mindboggling. Moreover, they may appear rather radical and revolutionary--and quite a change from the typical view of things that is currently being beaten into people's heads by the Establishment.
O, we are such original non-conformists, freethinking enemies of the oppressive mainstream. Ye poor unenlightened ignorant sheep/cattle, you wallow in their lies.
Consequently, the Powers that Be seem to consider us something of a threat.
Hmmm, i guess alfoil will have to do. *crinkling noises
One, that, rather than dealing logically and rationally with the reasonable and well founded arguements We present, they simply shout us down with mudslinging, and character assasination (calling us crazy, etc.).
It's over Establishment; i have the high ground.
However, let us remember that the ESTABLISHMENT of his Day forced Galileo to recant his scientific discoveries. And, let us continue to remind them that a few generations later they had to eat crow over it, as what he said became proven beyond doubt!
Why did we bother building Gravity Probe B and sending it into space? We could have observed the space-warping effects of relativistically spinning masses just by studying Galileo's grave. Why do wackos with persecution complexes always trot out that poor bastard's corpse without even bothering to finish stuffing his ass with straw?
Moreover, the philosophy and basic concepts of KoReY come from the Traditional Judeo-Christian Culture and Hebrew Heritage, which are very much unique to Earth! Why would Space Aliens ever use that Earth Heritage?

Rather, it would seems much more likely that they support Paganism, Idolatry, and forms of Magyck or Dark Arts? Yes, and there they would have a vested interest in promoting that, to help take over Our Culture, and transform it in their own image! (And, perhaps, even attempt to suppress the knowledge of the God of the Earthlings! For, HE. and HIS Teachings, might just challenge some of their views on things.)
You heard it here first folks, the Space Aliens are coming to destroy Judeo-Christian Culture. Why, those xenos must be tamperin' in Dark Sided stuff.
