Except that she's almost certainly not a Mormon.

It's no joke. Glenn Beck is espousing similar beliefs.

When will the providential view of history die?

I'm with Calvin, who believed that if God intervenes in history, humans are incapable of discerning it. It's pure arrogance.

If this is an oblique reference to the hoary hosts of Haggoth, I can only guess you are a member in good standing of FOOM.

No.

Not by a long shot.

I don't deserve the treatment I receive from a number here, no.

But perhaps I do: Only a drama queen like me could possibly object, of course -- an urbane sophisticate would welcome it as but an amusing divertissement -- to being publicly (but anonymously) defamed for half a decade as, among other such things, a voyeur, a liar, a religious bigot, an incompetent, a racist, a thug, an anti-Semite, a homicidal fantasist, a sociopath, and a hack.

Considering that there is no "Joseph Christ" or "Jesus Smith," I believe that you are incorrect.

Good grief. I made an error. I didn't read carefully enough.

Alert Kishkumen! I made an error, and I'm admitting it!

This is, I believe, a first.

Would that my parents were still alive to see this day.

You aren't the first. Apparently GB Hinckley made a similar error.

And the number of posts I've had on this board would never be a blip on the radar either.  I have a real life that I only get compensated for if I make my investments in my own companies provide me a living.  I can't argue "tenure" to my employer to get my paycheck and spend countless hours on message boards.  And I only get paid after I pay hundreds of employees first!

On this thread alone, since my last visit,  your ratio of posts to mine is 7 to 1 in a couple of days!! And that doesn't include other threads here and all the other boards you spend countless hours posting.  Like I said - wish I had your job!  Seems like there is little downside to lack of productivity!

And we understand the swings in your posts from criticizing others to asking others to feel sorry for you.  Your agenda to self attention is fairly consistent.

But I know this flies below your radar ---- again!
