I wonder if Saturn gets its light from Kolob too, or if it comes from Krypton. Probably Krypton. Kolob doesn't bother with lowly planets.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Working My Way up to Kolob

Post by _Droopy »

I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
Now I lost my exmo pride

I let it fall away
Praying every day

When I was just a TBM
I saw a post on RFM
Thought I could be a lib and play the field
But how I cried when my fate was sealed

'Cause I left the church
And I went about to go livin' my life without light
And every day, my mind was frayed
The Trailerpark was the place that I played

I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
Now I lost my exmo pride

I let it melt away
Praying every day

I used to love to make a scene (make a scene)
And be so snarky, smug and mean (Bishop! Bishop!)
But if I'd been a Saint in reality (Cry, cry)
Sweet light and truth would've set me free

Then I went so Left and loopy
And I lost my mind babe, the feeble knees gave out

I was so proud, I fell away
I was a NOM, jumped off the narrow way

I keep workin' my way up to Kolob
With a burnin' love inside
Mmm, I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
Now I lost my exmo pride

I let it fall away
Praying every day

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
Now I lost my exmo pride

I let it fall away
Praying every day

Oh, how I cried
I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah I'm workin' my way up to Kolob
Now I lost my exmo pride

Very nice. One of these days I'll have to build that off-axis reflector I've been thinking of.

Saturn reflects light from the Sun visually, though it does also glow of itself in other wavelengths. But as for the Book of Abraham, I see that as a reference to the universal law gravitation (which is what powers the stars) or something similar.

Light is gravitation.

Yes. And horse is tapir.

No, I certainly don't believe that Book of Mormon horses are tapirs. But gravitation IS what powers the stars because it's what makes fusion within their cores, and their formation in the first place, possible. Ever hear of the CNO cycle?
