Get your pitchforks: Raelians are Cloning! A Myth is a Myth is a Myth

News about the sci-fi inspired Raelians sent very liberal gatherings into gales of laughter: aliens????. One reasoned opinion asked why is a man living in the sky and creating the world in six days so much respectable than aliens seeding the Earth?
And I think: just because a certain myth garnered more followers (by sword, by fire or whatever means) that majority does not confer it legitimacy in my book.
It's what they do with the fellowship in that belief that is more relevant to me. So far, cloning beats bombing, torturing, terrorizing other people/nations because they do not share your belief in a particular myth.
