I didn't make nonsense articles at all. Uriella and her order really exist - see german wiki:

"Fiat Lux (neureligiöse Bewegung)" and "Uriella"

But I don't think, she deserves 2 articles here in EN-Wiki. Maybe it would be enough to make an article concorning her AND the order.

This woman seems to be crazed, but this supposed, to be a trick. But the sect takes her serious! Uriella is mentioned on www.relinfo.ch a sect-addiction prevention website. The sect operates parts of the german speaking area, attracts members from DE, A, and CH. Today, the sect still persists, but isn't in media anymore. But in the 90ties, the media "discussed" her for weeks (they merely wrote about her, because she was so funny and popular to laugh about.)

I omitted to mention the sect was located someday (or is still located?) in Strittmatt, where they love the five lower case Ts that remember crosses. Strong rules in sect: they claim to live without xxx and not using the internet (that's why the order actually doesn't have an own website). It is a real sect, not something like a "church of bob"-hoax.

I will do it now, I merge it together with the german article about "fiat lux" (the sect itself) and create a link from this lemma to lemma "Uriella".

translation of German quote edit

In the article, there is a quote in German: "Im August 1998 werden der Mord an einem ... werden im atlantischen Ozean verschwinden.“ I dropped it into babelfish.altavista, and I see that it is the quote concerning the end of the world. Is there a reason why it is inserted in the original German as opposed to an english translation? It would seem natural to quote it in English in the en-wiki. I couldn't find a translation on the Internet, and the automated one I generated certainly won't do. Is anyone qualified to put one up? AndyHuston (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Done. The language and sourcing could generally still do with some tidying up. --Jayen466 15:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fringe edit

This article is being discussed at WP:FT/N. Alexbrn (talk) 16:07, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

As discussed on FTN, the religious movement Fiat Lux has more notability than its leader Uriella, so the article title has been moved to Fiat Lux (religion). I've trimmed out the German language "Reformed Churches" source (which approached the subject from a narrowly Christian perspective), added RS sources to the article, and copyedited appropriately. The article can and should be further expanded using the academic sources. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:50, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Renaming edit

I renamed the page from Fiat Lux (religion) to Fiat Lux (UFO religion) and redirected Fiat Lux (religion) to Let there be light, since the biblical phrase is also a religious "Fiat Lux" and is much more notable than the german UFO cult.GrandEscogriffe (talk) 13:03, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
