Doesn't worry me, of course, but I confess to having been a bit astonished how long you kept up your amusing contributions to this thread without the b-word beginning to flash on and off somewhere in your head. I know that LDS are a special kind of Christian, but all the same ...

I presume that you won't be making any more jokes about new words that refer to Jesus having a vagina, or being penetrated by a trillion penises, then? Glad you have seen the error of your ways at last. I am sure you have already thought of something really good to say to Jesus about all this when you have that quite interesting Big Bishop's Interview that I believe you must be looking forward to so much.

[Edited to add: Urrrgh. I accidentally addressed Belmont directly. Put it down to anxiety about his salvation. Must go and clean up.]
Zadok:
I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.
Maksutov:
That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

"Too" refers to both parties suffering. By specifying that the woman "actually experienced" it, and Christ "vicariously" experienced it, I distinguished between the manner in which each party suffered. The manner in which each party suffered, which I distinguished in the statement that you are yourself raping beyond recognition, is what you have misrepresented for God knows how many pages now, and led to the beautiful, reverent imagery you suggested of trillions of penises penetrating the Only Begotten Son of God.



I drove my car. My friend drove his sleigh, too.

I told you what the word hættup means, I won't tell you again. You'll have to look it up on Wiktionary once I add it. I am proud to have contributed to the lexicon of the human race.

And, by the way, Jesus has a sense of humor.

Only if he insists in the name of Jesus Christ that there is a king's name written in the writing of Facsimile No. 3. We can all see that there is no king's name written therein. Joseph Smith lied. Simon lied too.

Is that all the time or only when he has his temporary vagina?

Seriously, though, Simon. I see no evidence for Jesus having a sense of humor in the scriptures. On what do you base that claim that he has a sense of humor?

Thanks,

Hasa, Simon apparently does not get that the "too" could just have reasonably been intended and read to have referenced simply "suffering" and not the type, "actual" or "vicariously".

He's one in purpose with God, and God created me.

The Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 are about as inspiring to me as a sweaty vagina. I guess Joseph Smith had a mouth full that day.

For example, I am a faithful member of the Church in good standing, who sustains the Bretheren and keeps my covenants.

And I don't need any fundamentalist, legalistic ideas about being a "faithful Latter-day Saint" when I am a member of a church that so richly embraces pluriformity.

Simon, no. Seriously. I've heard religionists say that god has a sense of humor. But as I look through the scriptures, I see no sign of it. From the record, He looks pretty humorless. I'm wondering if you can explain why you say god has a sense of humor.
