The Unarius group used to have an obscure TV show. It was hilarious. Including the old gal who rode around in an old Caddy with a “UFO” glued to the roof, and claiming to be the angel Uriel.

The only one I know of was the group who commited suicide, so their souls could join up with the aliens on a passing comet. Very sad, but they were very serious.
 
I was involved in New Age and Wicca for many years before becoming Catholic last year. The 80’s were prime time for all kinds of things to surface. I remember J.Z. Knight making a ton of money on her “channelings” of Ramtha, something she claims as an ancient spirit, and a host of others. It continues to this day.

There’s a woman who claims to be in contact with a benevolent alien civilization who is watching us through the approach of a brown dwarf star that passes us every 3,600 years or so and causes us to be thrust back into the Stone Age. She has an active website and message board. She claims that the 7 plagues and parting of the Red Sea are evidence of this passage. She predicted the passage as occurring in 2012…'nuff said. :rolleyes:
 
These sorts of scams involve complex claims and books. People who are lost can fall for anything. Satan is involved. Anything but Christianity. This has been around since the 1950s.

Yep. Anything but Christianity. That was me, once.

It seems to me that Christianity becomes so much of part of the “furniture” for some folks that they feel as if there’s nothing to offer by way of spirituality or anything of the sort. It’s a huge tragedy that the richest spirituality is so underestimated and so often exchanged for things like this, though it’s more often exchanged for “personal Jesus” kind of stuff, I guess. It was me for a while, too. Pray for the Church, all.

Yeah, that was me. Enamored of Wicca for a while. Thank God I realized it was BS and came home to Rome. The devil does not want us to be in this church, I’ll tell you that. 👍

Also, believing in superior life-forms that are older than humans, but which can be explained “scientifically” and from the perspective of evolution, may strike some individuals as being more rational than traditional religions.
 
Yeah, I’ve watched a bunch of documentaries about religions like that. When the heart is wicked, it’s constantly ping-ponging between extremes. It’s seperated from the Source of Peace [one of the 99 names of Allah], so therefore it knows no peace. On purely practical level, I suppose it could come from entitlement. The idea that you are owed something, by a deity or an alien race, is appealing to many people.

That’s why people of New Age, Neo-Paganism and the Alien Religions are constantly affirming themselves. Like “Oh man, I just got done flying through the 9th dimension with my higher self. My higher self told me that I’m the maker of my own realities!”. Just self-affirming and thinking themselves to be autonomous. All of that is negated by Islam, which is to say that the muslim must not have his/her head in the clouds (no pun intended).
 
Having known someone who was willing to join one of these religions, I was invited to attend one of their rituals/ceremonies. I was astonished (not offended) by what was being offered. The people I spoke with after the ceremony seemed sincere but the claims were anti–Christ. I saw a symbol inside which seemed familiar and was surprised to learn it belonged to a different religion. They did claim they were in contact with aliens.

People are sometimes led astray by “the new.” In my case, I had two invitations to join other, non-UFO, religions by attractive young women. I turned down both requests.

I wouldn’t doubt if this is how it starts out for most. It really only takes a small thing like this and a little while of time for folks that can’t recognize false worship and psychopathic behavior to fall to this kind of thing, unfortunately. I’ve read a lot of cults will start out by inviting people to dinner, things like that. I think that learning history can really be an effective weapon against this as it has happened over and over that someone comes up and says “Hey, man, I can SAVE you! I’m not like all the others that say that, either!”, though prayer and the sacraments are obviously the most powerful. This really doesn’t only cover cultism but things like the racist skinheads, political cults of personality, revolutionary groups, etc. So many groups, the Bolsheviks being a shining example, have offered people freedom but only turned around to eat them. I guess what I’m getting at is it really shields people against the mentality of “Well, this guy is like all the others but I just know that HE won’t throw me under the bus like they did!”
