Please don't get her started on another six-week long rant about the nature of ad hominem attacks. Please!

We all know that Marg keeps the altar of her intellect swept, tapers burning, and food and drink offerings at the ready. And she ain't the only one.

I will be as high yellow in heaven as I am here. Though in heaven there will be no people following me trying to figure out what race I am. Or telling me that I'm not black. THAT will be nice. One of my LDS friends says that she expects HF to "maker her skinny" in the CK (she's most pleasantly plump...I kind of like her that way. She's kind of like the neighborhood Big Momma or Madea...I can't see her being that way skinny). Whatever floats your boat.

That is ok Marg, we thing arrogant bloviating atheists are idiots as well. You top the list.

Now I am sure you will call this a personal attack on you. Guess what oh might critical thinker you...you will be right. It is personal, just as personal as your rant above.

Please now, provide us empirical evidence that all religious persons are idiots.

Be well.

If I respond to your post above it will be in your idiotic thread in which you posted an article by Dennis Prager and agreed with him that atheism was the root of all evil. I'm not highly motivated however, since when I tried to engage you you simply asserted your beliefs and showed no interest in discussion. According to you (if I remember correctly) despotic dictator regimes such as Stalin's and Hitler's proved atheism leads to evil immoral societies and that was that, you weren't going to think about or discuss it any further.

According to those who have seen the Father and the Son, the color was that of "Glory". It would be like trying to describe the color of sunlight. White is an easy term to use, but you get the idea.

Yes they wear clothes. Reports state that they are loose fitting robes, and that they carry another garment of some kind draped across their arm. (That part always makes me giggle thinking about "Hitchhikers guide" and the whole towel thing)

Hairstyles for men seem to include a beard. The only reports I've heard about women in heaven were ones speaking about them dancing in the great dance of circles surrounding the throne. No reports on their hairstyles. Perhaps harmonys friend who met some of her family in a near death experience can tell her what their hair was like.

I've heard no mention of jewelry.

Transportation seems to consist of doorways opening in thin air, such as the way Moroni is reported to have entered and left Josephs room. No doubt this was the same way Christ entered and left the upper room to visit with the Twelve after his resurrection.

Everyone in heaven will be given a Urim and Thummim. So this will negate the need for books or any other type of entertainment device I would assume. Those in the highest kingdom will actually dwell on a great Urim and Thummim. (Talk about your big screen !)

Time will be spent trying to make things better. Just like we do now.

So... clear.

Yes I saw that after your idiotic rant.

Soon as you do sweetie. You are the one who butted in with your nonsense about religion and religious persons being idiots.

If I respond to your post above it will be in your idiotic thread in which you posted an article by Dennis Prager and agreed with him that atheism was the root of all evil.



Actually I did not agree with him on all points and as noted posted it more for discussion purposes and as a personal test to see who swarmed and pounced. You did not disappoint.


I'm not highly motivated however,


Obviously.


since when I tried to engage you you simply asserted your beliefs and showed no interest in discussion.


Hardly. You there as you always do, bloviated about your superior critical thinking and reasoning skills. I had no interest in discussing the things you brought up with YOU marg and only YOU because you are a bore to debate with.

According to you (if I remember correctly) despotic dictator regimes such as Stalin's and Hitler's proved atheism leads to evil immoral societies and that was that, you weren't going to think about or discuss it any further.



Your critical thinking skills that you are so proud of seem to have damaged your memory.
