Took you over an hour to come up with that one, good job college grad.

Obviously you are unfamiliar with Mesopotanian mythology and how it has a direct effect on your current religious practices.

I found it interesting that '50' Annuna had certain powers and ruled the Earth and '50' of Joseph's people were to rule the Earth as well.

The Annuna were both part of the Earth and the underworld, Joseph's council was comprised of both members and non-members.

The Annuna were controlled by Anu, the church by Joseph. His throne was inherited by Enlil, a companion, and not his son Enki. Joseph's throne was inherited by Brigham, a companion, and not his son Joseph; whom allegedly was to be the heir.

Am I reaching at straws here?

Case in point: Ever notice how Santa brings more toys to the rich kids than to the poor kids? Only Beelzebub himself would be so cruel. Not to mention the sweatshop he runs at the North Pole extracting slave labor from vertically-challenged people who have never been given a change to unionize and fight for their rights.

He's evil, I tell ya. A college grad like you should recognize this right away.
