I was refering to the early (one of the earliest?) representations of "El" and how little he resembles the patriarchal Yahweh of fame.
All clear?
From the Ernest L. Wilkinson Diaries: "ELW dreams he's spattered w/ grease. Hundreds steal his greasy pants."

I have to admit that explains a lot...
Doesn't look a thing like him.
Oh yeah, how soon we forget that the great Nehor is among us.
He has SEEN god.
Yep, just like old Joe!
Or was it first some angels?
PP, don't you know the apologetic on that one. "Angel" has many meanings and one of those is deity or God! Wow, Joseph's accounts of the first vision solved through a Bible dictionary. Piece of cake! Come on PP. You have to work harder than that to catch the old Mormons in their deceptions. You know that!
