Have you checked his roots? Possibly he/she could be a Kolobian ficus.

it was 2500 years ago - Genesis didn't even exist 2800 years ago.

Thanks, I gave it a shot.

Before me there was no man in the LDS Church yet the Lord had not yet written it off. It even talks about MERCURY!

The Lord gave me an ultimatum to quit college. I am unlearned. ergo the gifts that make you think I am a plant. From where? Kolob?


It was only a matter of time before Nightlion started applying Messianic scripture to himself. I give it three years before he believes he is the Messiah. Want to start a pool?


Not every Old Testament scripture is Messianic. Christ intelligence is greater than "they all" he would not need to be given the tongue of the learned. All saints get persecuted.

Or who knows. He/she could actually just be nuts as I have asserted before.

I agree 100%.


You wish there were another sock puppet,
I do like the Joe DeMagio-esque linkage. Flattering.
Mercury needs to get over the he/she nonsense. Unless he/she is giving us a clue.

My web site http://www.fireark.org has my finest Apostle picture right there for ya.

I disagree. I think he's legitimate.

Let's face it: Who could've possibly come up with the whole "Message on Mt. Olympus" thing other than a true, bona fide Nightlion type?


Funny thing happened at the Conference about new religious movements held at the City and County Building in Salt lake City yesterday. I talked with the Signature Books guy about publishing a book and I got the shmarmy, "well you must have been published in some journal first with peer reviews and ahem, cough, cough......" So I was talking with a couple of presenters, because I just missed the Driud paper. I gave them my old press release about the Mountain. Mr Signature Books was over my shoulder and said, " o, you gave me that. I've seen that before." So another guy asked for one.

Then, LOL, I asked Mr Sig. if he knew how many times the Lord said,
"how oft I would have gathered you as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings and you would not", He said knowingly, four or five times.

Then I said. "do you see the chicken"? Showing him a new picture that clearly shows a great hen front and just to the left of center when snow covers the entire face. I said, " here take the picture' and he thanked me for it. I laugh all night long at work thinking how fantastically opposite that was to his adroit, scholastic aplumb.

Do you see the chicken? CMU

I had been looking for the chicken for two weeks after being impressed that it might be there. Even I was floored seeing it.

Yeah, I don't think NL is necessarily a sock puppet of a current poster, but I find it very difficult to believe this person is genuinely telling us what he thinks.

My personal opinion is that it just someone acting like a caricature of your basic religious nut to make them all look bad (which would also be the purpose of the website). It's just a little too over the top to be real... but of course, if it is real, well... that's religious nuts for ya.

Whatever the case may be, there's absolutely nothing there to take seriously (unless you're in the psychiatry business).

You have no idea how tempting it is to pretend to agree with Nightlion and pretend to be enlightened and join him in his crusade. Oh, the fun I could have.

LOL

What do you mean... "pretend?"

It feels like there's a kettle and pot convention in town.

If you're under the impression that Nightlion and I agree on much of anything then you're not a Schmo, you're a schmuck. A not very bright schmuck.

Awwww... did I hit a nerve, big boy?

I don't get distracted by the details of god-related insanity. What may seem very different to you appears almost identical to me. You both claim to talk to god... beyond that, the details are irrelevant.
