It is not out of context. Not at all. Your definition of "out of context" seems quite odd. Had I given commentary, would the argument have been that I'm trying to "spin" Brigham Young's comments? How is this suddenly about me? I'd rather it not be, but this sort of thing can be par for the course when someone likes a quote as much as you seem to like this one. Your love for it is just oozing out everywhere, you know.

The fact is, I've given plenty of the quote to establish that Brigham Young is, in fact, addressing himself to what little is known about the attributes of deity. His doing so was recorded in the JD.
