They get to wear the magical underpants.

How can we compete with that?

Call me sacrilegious if you must, but to me the most likely scenario is that we were seeded here on this planet by travelers from space.

They may have come back to check on and jerk w/ us several times in our past; thereby explaining a lot of what we consider "scripture" - no matter your religion.

The Mormon beliefs seem to me to be yet another explanation of that. In that respect, they'll get to be a "god" when they to can go off and seed another planet.

When you read the bible, its hard not to view the God of the old testament as a completely different personality from Jesus of the new testament. (Old God: "Kill the heathens, women and children included", "Burn me some animals". New God: "Its all about the healing")

So various guys visited; some nice, some not so nice.

Its the only scenario that makes sense.

I always think about that when I hear about ID too. A lot of what we see may well have been designed - but by whom?

Count me as agnostic.

I heard about that, something that they have to wear a certain type of underwear. I wonder how this custom came about.

I believe they're called "Temple garments."

Nice to see the insulters are at it again. Most Mormons I know have been pretty good people, certainly not the kind to try to degrade things held "precious" by others, but good, hardworking, and devout people.
