No, any answer would be fine. You refuse to explain your beliefs, preferring instead to ask leading questions and then commenting cryptically on the answers of others. What we've been able to glean of your actual beliefs though is quite shocking. We should put you in a museum to be preserved for future generations to marvel.

Is an Apple Fritter a donut? How about a creme or jelly filled?
Now that you've brought this discussion down to my level, I can get on board.

I was not going to add to this thread until woot had the temerity to refer to Bokonoism without attribution. It is,my friends, a creation of one fo my favorite authors, Kurt VOnnegut, who recently passed away after a long life of trying to comit suicide lawfully but slowly by smoking cigaretes (according to him).

Pardon any offense, as it was certainly unintended, Vonnegut is, indeed, the man. The strange man, but the man nonetheless.

No offense taken, I just wanted some proper attribution. I take pride as having been one of the few people (I am guessing here) that has ever qoted VOnnegut in a sacramnet meeting (during my mission farewell, no less).

This could have been a much more interesting thread. Perhaps it would have been better placed in religious studies. That way we could have had a conversation about what has been authoritatively said about the Garden of Eden/Missouri/Gathering. My sense from SEIQ's first post is that there might be at least a little cultural myth going on here with less official support in the record than one might think. I would have liked to see that fleshed out.
I'm not telling anyone what to say, but the typical threadjack that involves poster 1 saying "religious belief or some aspect of it is absurd" and poster 2 saying "I will now defend my objectively absurd belief" followed by further argument, rebuttal, rejoinder, etc is boring. It is a fools errand. I respect both those who hold religious beliefs and those who don't. There are reasons to be in either camp. But if you can't start with the idea that there are good reasons to be in either, you are going to waste a lot of time trying to prove or disprove that which cannot be empirically proven or disproven.
