Paul, that's a pretty hefty piece of writing, but I'm not sure I get the same meaning from it that you do.


But it does make you think. The purpose of that spoof is to get us thinking about what is and what could never have been.

You're ok in my book, Ray.

Paul, I assume it is Reformed Egyptian, but what does your avatar signify and what is that little yellow egg over his head all about? Is it symbolic of Kolob?

You’re deceived by the cunning of Satan and his wicked presentations of the restored gospel. Satan made early Christianity look even worse! In fact, they killed the Messiah and tortured his apostles.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH, then why is it that every "anti-mormon" I've seen uses Mormon sources to cite their arguments in many places? the ONLY way they could be liars, is if their information is a lie.

Ok, guys - maybe I'm being too harsh. I've been to some anti sites and they really are pretty bad in the way they present things. Actually, I think some of FARMS presentations seem less than honest too because they slant things without presenting all the facts.

Sigh.

No problems with you Celestial Kingdom.

Yeah, i tend to see much more questionable answers comming from the apologetics than I've seen ever come from "anti's".

I've been quite tired lately and not been doing much of anything on the Internet. Will be having surgery on Monday so that will make me even more tired, I guess.

It can be tiring denfending my religion all the time for many years on end. Honestly though, I went to the temple last Saturday and Church on Sunday - it really was quite refreshing. I'm going back to the temple this Saturday. The temple refreshes the soul like nothing else I've ever experienced.

Have a great weekenend!

I enjoy the atmosphere of the temple. With life so hectic, it's very difficult to find a place as quiet as the temple. I look forward to sitting in the chapel in prayer and study while hubby takes a session.
