Behalf Of God
Try this: ask people like Nick, Erik and JDG some questions that would
force them to seriously rethink their attitudes and opinions; hold them
accountable for what they say and do on this list. Then see how many (or
rather: how few) of those questions will actually get answered.
Oooo...! It looks like God has just tipped his hand.
I mean if it gets through my dense skull, it must be obvious to everyone else...
I've had brain surgery, and had a pretty solid cranium to begin with, so
please enlighten me... Who do you think God is?

Thank you, Brother Blankenship. And you didn't even have to put on your Missionary Uniform!
Or visit a barber for an appropriate haircut & shave (no longer available for two bits) . . .
Oh . . . did you mean "Who do I think is calling him- or herself 'God' when posting to the list?"
Um, yeah. I guess I could have been more specific.
But I really enjoyed your thorough answer.
"Would you like to know more?"
The text of your answer was already very familiar -- in fact, I think I had parts of it memorized at one point. For a year or so back in the '80s, I dated a Mormon woman who worked with me at HP, which is how I recognized your answer as LDS catechism. I believe I had a substantial portion of it memorized at one point or another.
I credit our relationship with helping me find my way back to God. That, and my roommate at the time, the son of the Lutheran Bishop of Northern Minnesota. It was quite a time in my life, with my girlfriend and her bishop father speaking their faith in one ear and my roommate and his bishop father speaking theirs in the other. I appreciated the opportunity to approach Christianity again from such diverse viewpoints.
So thank you, but I am already quite happy with the relationship I have with God. Save a seat in the terrestrial kingdom for me, I guess. I'll be there with all the other religion-addled brains :-).
I repeat my question... You apparently have a theory about the identity of the poster who called "God." I am interested to hear your theory.
Peace,
Dave
