I think that's what Mok was trying to say. They kept trying to tie him to a spit over at FAIR for telling the truth...
*gasp* to be descended from the not so pure white and delightsome! After all one has been taught about those people!
*sarcasm off*
And for some more bad cat humor....

OK, Beastie...
Next time we hang out we have to add an hour or two so we can chat about our cats! :-) Forget Mormonism.... LOL!
My Chloe, Queen of the Ethos and Existence in all Universes, is pretty unbelievable!
I swear she thinks she is an advanced form of human... she has no idea she is a cat! :-)
Maybe we should get these fabulous creatures together!

Yes, I'm a cat nut. GIMR - I spent the entire night looking at every picture on that site and emailing the best ones to my bf! When I found out about canihascheezeburger I spent the next few days looking at every single picture... and there are a lot!! I made one my desktop background. (I am so smrt)
TD, I've met your chloe, haven't I? She's beautiful! But I don't think cats do play dates. ;)

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

(cuz she's all black except for a little white spot beneath her neck, which is the "creme center")
Tell him to make it Licked Cupcake and he's got a deal. ;)

Re: Why God Must Be Black
I learned the same thing from my seminary teacher.Zoidberg wrote:beastie wrote:If the LDS church is correct, and God is a man with a glorified body who created God in his image, then God must be black.
Most LDS are at least willing to give a cursory nod to science and try to incorporate it into their belief system (most, I said, most). Science has pretty conclusively demonstrated that our ancestors came from Africa and were black. So if there were some "Adam and Eve", they lived in Africa and were black.
God created "man" in his own image, which, to LDS, means that his body looks like ours.
Hence, God is black.
I was told by a Seventy that black people will turn white in the afterlife because the curse will be removed. He's in for a nice surprise when he finds himself in his new black resurrected body. He was also hoping to have a couple wives in the afterlife since he remarried after his 1st died... I wonder what he'll say when he finds out he'll actually have to share one of his wives with a couple other guys because of the excess of men in the Celestial Kingdom.

Basketball courts in the church should be proof enough that God is black.

Hi There Moksha,
DNA Evidence Scientifically does indeed back up that humans, did indeed came out of the Continent of Africa.
Not that DNA stuff again. Haven't we all learned from the past couple years that so-called "DNA Evidence" is suspect at best.
