DANIEL C. PETERSON--GOD ASCENDANT!!!

[_Dr. Shades]

Today I have a very, very special Godhood announcement. I, and I'm sure several others, perhaps thought that the day would come that Doctor Daniel C. Peterson would achieve his crown of exaltation and attain his mantle of godhood, but that day seemed far away, more theoretical than actual.

But today, believe it or not, Tuesday evening, June 24, 2008 at exactly 9:23 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, He (note the upper-case "H") verily accomplished it, after all that He could do!!

As the Apostle Paul so aptly said it, there be Gods many and Lords many, but let's face it, this is a VERY, VERY SPECIAL ascendancy, is it not? Thanks to His "visibility" both in print and online, I'd say that Daniel Peterson is, quite literally, the most famous living Mormon who isn't either A) a General Authority, B) an athlete, or C) an entertainer. That's quite an accomplishment, is it not?

Aside from His secular accomplishments, I'd say there's a silent consensus that He's the next Hugh Nibley, although He Himself might be loathe to admit it. Am I right about that?

Now, all other criticisms aside for a moment, let's bring out the flag of truce and reserve this thread for any and all nice or complimentary things that anyone wishes to say about Him, as is tradition.

Of course, this announcement isn't just for input from we, the unwashed masses. So, Dr. Peterson? What would you like to say, or otherwise what would you like to be your first Official Declaration?

In other words, SPEECH!! SPEECH!!

I like Dr. Peterson. He is intelligent, witty, engaging and charming. He is just wrong. ;) But, being wrong never stopped anyone from posting on the internet. Congratulations!

Danny, what was a more memorable day? Today with your godhood and election made sure or the day you recieved your third degree in the Sacred Order of the Tapir?

Congrats, Dr. Peterson. ;)

I've always been a fan of your posts. You have always been very kind, approachable, and willing to answer questions. I'm glad you have decided to post here.

Party in the Goddess Suite! :)

Congratulations!

...not that I don't sense some kind of foul play.

Danny boy, Danny boy as far as most thinks go you're OK, but this title is as close to Godhead as you will get in this life and the next.

Cheers

Sorry, but Warren Jeffs is much more famous than Daniel Peterson.

I just had a vision that the "hot light" must be on at this very moment.

Congrats on your celestial accomplishment.

Far f***ing out!

Now let's see you create a universe that's shaped like a donut. Then I'll stop being an atheist.
