Thats right. But we believe that because we believe their is a soul. But consider this. Many people fear that clones would be soul less because they are not conceived. For that reason they sort of justify using the bodie for parts etc. We do no really know of a clone would have a soul or not...
Just for arguments sake the Raelian position is there is no such thing as a soul. If that is true... there is still no difference between a clone and a regular person. They can not use the argument that clones are less than human because of the way they are made because they do no believe in God. So they must admit they are inflicting great torture and suffering upon an innocent person they created for their own selfish desires.

Why Israel? Why not France, The U.S., Canada, Mexico or any other place? What is so special about Israel?

What makes a person unique is their experience through life. So let's say we start with 2 identical twins. At 80 years, each is obviously a unique person. Now, each of these fine people would like a new body since their body is getting tired So a cell from each is taken, and from that, a clone is created ... rapidly. What I mean by that is that you create a clone (from an individual cell from each person) equivalent to a 20 year old body in a matter of seconds - not 20 years! Then, you transfer the memory from the old body to the new one and start anew. The transfer would take place before the clone actually becomes "alive"
Rael was revealed of this process in his second encounter and is documented in Book 2 of Intelligent Design, which can be downloaded for free. I highly recommend everyone read this!!
If you told Jesus any of this during his time, he would have said, "Dude, WTF are you talking about !@!#" Well, not exactly that, but you get the idea. The Elohim are the ones that appeared to each of the great prophets of the past (from which all of the religions today originated), and conveyed their message to them in a language and understanding appropriate for that time. Rael, who is the last of the prophets, was revealed the message in a manner in which each of us can understand today - that is, a message of science and love. He was also told that Apocalypse does not mean the end of the world, but rather it means "to reveal" or "to understand". The truth of our origins will be revealed to us very soon, probably sometime between 2025 and 2035. A huge goal of the Raelian movement is to build an embassy, which will be used as a meeting place to welcome the Elohim back to earth. The Elohim have requested that it be built in Israel and the Raelian movement has contacted Israel to ask for permission to build it there. However, that request has not been granted yet and if Israel doesn't grant access, then the embassy will be built elsewhere.

They nailed him to cross and killed him too. Thing is he didn't need a clone to rise again. Neither do your or I.
So are you avoiding this post those questions were addressed to you. You said you have washed (trained) your brain not to care if your wife were to cheat on you.
I am particularly interested in how your wife who attends a catholic church feels about your Raelian involvement. .

Oh it sounds so “evolved”. You expect us to believe that if your lover where to sleep with someone else it would not hurt your feelings? I have lived long enough and observed human behavior enough to not believe you.
Why should it? The reason why people feel that way today is because we've been brainwashed into thinking that way since they day we were born. Everywhere you look (TV, books, movies) etc., will always portray a person getting angry when their "significant other" is sniffing around. Stupid! So the anger or hurt feelings is simply a reaction (thinking with the back of the brain) due to neuronal connections created by the media, church, society, etc. Unfortunately, once those connections are in place it is very hard to break them. Use your consciousness, the front part of brain! Train it! Meditate! Then you'll begin to experience happiness in a completely different way

I did not miss the point. It goes completely contrary to human nature not to be upset if your partner sleeps around on you. This is a universal human moral. You replied why should it? Its just society. You can train it away.
Its not. Its human decency. Basically you are trying to meditate away your conscience.

A friend of mine who spent a week at a Ralian sensual meditation camp in the Quebec countryside came back with a mixed report of the experience, which sounded like a cross between a nudist camp and a New Age retreat on the California coast. The rules were simple: Everybody was free to say no to a sexual invitation, nobody had the right to feel jealous or possessive if his or her lover desired another and the wearing of condoms was mandatory. The place was filled with gay men, girls fresh off the plane from Japan, Swiss women walking around naked and far too many Quebecois studs for my friend's taste.
He'd been expecting some kind of smorgasbord of free love, and was disappointed to find that the disproportion of men to women meant that couples paired up early on and stayed together for the whole week. Suffice it to say that he came back to Montreal a frustrated lad. But not a bitter one: "It would have been paradise," he told me, "if I hadn't had to listen to Ral natter for six hours every day." In fact, some of the Ralian men confided to him that they accepted the religion's basic message -- namely, that there is no God or soul and our creators' greatest gifts to us are the beauty and sensuality of the human body. They just stopped listening when Ral started talking about UFOs.

You'll never convince reasonable people that adultery is acceptable. Thank God for that. Of all the world religions they may differ on how many wives a man can have or on divorce and those matters. But no society ever embraces sleeping with another mans wife. It is a social norm because it is the right thing for society. It is basic human decency. You guys are trying to "deprogram" away basic decencey through your "senesual meditation". I am sure adding a sex reward helps to obliterate the human conscience that you must battle.

In fact, it will probably not be an issue in the near future because the concept of marriage will eventually die, along with old school religions. Raelianism will be the religion of the 3rd millennium. Couples will exist, but the traditional marriage contracts of today will eventually cease to exist. More and more people will realize that signing a contract to stay with the same person for the rest of your life no longer makes sense.
America has been compared to the Roman Empire in secular and religious ways. Regardless of its ultimate legacy, America is a civilization on the decline. A couple of centuries from now (or sooner), someone will write a book called "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire." Historians will lament the loss of a once-great civilization that brought prosperity to the world and tried to make it safer for democracy. The glory that was the United States will lay in ruins, brought down not by terrorists but its own debauchery and complacency.
Even before cultural decay was apparent, a man named Dr. Carle Zimmerman wrote a book called "Family and Civilization" in 1947. He reviewed the decline of multiple civilizations and empires and found eight patterns of domestic behavior that signaled the decline of a civilization:
1) Marriage loses its sacredness; is frequently broken by divorce.
2) Traditional meaning of the marriage ceremony is lost.
3) Feminist movements abound.
4) Increased public disrespect for parents and authority in general.
5) Acceleration of juvenile delinquency, promiscuity, and rebellion.
6) Refusal of people with traditional marriages to accept family responsibilities.
7) Growing desire for and acceptance of adultery.
8) Increasing interest in and spread of sexual perversions and sex-related crimes.
Just because something is the social norm doesn't make it right. Years ago it was the social norm to discriminate against women, blacks, etc. Was that right? Didn't the catholic church kill off millions of free thinking women at one point in history, and wasn't that the social norm at the time? Was that right? Things change and they are going to continue to change. I'd suggest you prepare for it
