Re: talk of "Mormon names" (#461, #475, etc.)

The Flying Inmans claim the "Saintly name" [Mormons do NOT have a corner on the name "Saints"] of...[drum roll, please]...

...the "Anti-Nephi-Lehies" from the Book of Alma, in the Book of Mormon (Alma 23:17-18; 24:3). [Would that make us the "Anti-Nephi-Lehies Flying Inmans who fly the Ilky Way John 14:6???"]

And the Top Ten reasons the Flying Inmans have selected this name are...[need some Flying Inman help from the Letterman-like writers among you]...

Reason #10: "Fill-in-the-blank" name was already taken.

Reason #9: Like the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, those in Christ truly have been set free from a curse!!! [While skin color is no curse, as the Book of Mormon claims, sin is indeed a curse...the BoM pretends God's curse of the Lamanites was lifted off of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, even tho it gets it badly wrong--our curse goes much deeper than skin color...but still, in Jesus Christ, have a curse that's been lifted off of believers! Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." (Galatians 3:13)]

Reason #8: Although the Book of Mormon gets it wrong about which king we're the son of in Alma 24:3, we are, as "Anti-Nephi-Lehi," the son of a KING!!! The King of Kings!

Reason #7: The Mormon FReeper threaders have permanently assigned to us the brand & copyright of anything having to do with "Anti..." titles!

Reason #6: Alma 23:18 proves that Michael Jackson was not a fluke! (Skin tone can change!) (Actually, I'm kind of surprised that the multi-cultural fanatics haven't latched on to Alma 23:18 as their "Religious Verse of the Year"...I mean here you can be just one person with a mono-cultural background and poof! You become "multi-cultural" virtually overnight!) [For those of you who don't "get it," according to Alma 23:18, The Anti-Nephi-Lehies supposedly had a darker skin before the curse was lifted, allowing them to become "white and delightsome" again!]

Reason #5 (Fill in the blank)

Reason #4 (Fill in the blank)

Reason #3: It's as good of a "fantasy" name as any and I was too lazy to page-turn a fantasy name from L.Ron Hubbard's sci-fi books like "Battlefield Earth" or "Dianetics" or other fanciful fantasy works like the BoM.

Reason #2 (Fill in the blank)

Reason #1 (Fill in the blank)
