LOL!
For behold, it shall come to pass in the last days, yea even the time before the Lamb of God shall return in his everlasting glory, that many will turn their hands unto themselves, and shall be cursed with a grievous curse, yea even hairy palms.
All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:
1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body, & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.
But the following Contraries to these are True:
1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3 Energy is Eternal Delight
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling.
And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
The history of this is written in Paradise Lost, & the Governor or Reason is call'd Messiah.
And the original Archangel or possessor of the command of the heavenly host, is call'd the Devil or Satan and his children are call'd Sin & Death.
But in the Book of Job Milton's Messiah is call'd Satan.
For this history has been adopted by both parties.
It indeed appear'd to Reason as if Desire was cast out, but the Devil's account is, that the Messiah fell, & formed a heaven of what he stole from the Abyss.
This is shewn in the Gospel, where he prays to the Father to send the comforter or Desire that Reason may have Ideas to build on, the Jehovah of the Bible being no other than he who dwells in flaming fire.
Know that after Christ's death, he became Jehovah.
But in Milton; the Father is Destiny, the Son, a Ratio of the five senses, & the Holy-ghost, Vacuum!
Note: The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.

Hearken, O ye elders of my church, and give ear to my word, and learn of me what I will concerning you and the Internets.
For verily, I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, and clicketh not on representations of nakedness. Blessed is he that restricteth himself to LDS.org. The Lord thy GOD commands, and thou shalt obey. If thy wife discovers thy nether regions exposed while gazing upon the Internets’ nakedness, thou shalt repent and confess to thy bishop. Thou shalt restrict thyself to she who is yours, and bear the burden of monogamy in this life, knowing that, in the next life, thy reward shall be great.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

hehehe
12. For the palm that doeth bring forth the hair doeth not have the proper grip of one needing to spring forth his seed upon the ground; yea, the seed that cannot come forth cannot be wasted to the eternities.
13. Thus is the curse with which ye who would turn their hands unto themselves are annoited. How doeth thy feel about that?
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

You don't even have to leave the basic western literary canon to stumble on more imaginative and dare I say, truer, cosmologies than ever dreamed of in a farm(s) boy's mind.

Follow not men, for all are blinded by power and wealth. Bow thy head and bend thy knee, and ask forgiveness of thy sisters, that ye may be humble and scourged for failing to hear their cries in days past. Ordain them to the priesthood, yea even the Highest Priesthood, that thy sisters may wax strong and grow as I, thy God, have intended yea these many years. For God is no respector of persons, yea, even unto the end of days. As it should have been in days of old, make it so now, for God will not be mocked.
Be ye therefore mindful of the poor and afflicted. Seek not after riches, but rather, seek solace for thy soul through service and devotion to thy God. Cease polluting thy Lord's house with plastic, for I the Lord hath created flowers for this reason. Sell thy stock portfolios, thy real estate holdings, thy trappings of wealth and cease wasting the Lord's tithes on selfish pursuits lest a scourge come upon you and consume the burning in thy bosom.
Seek first the Kingdom of God. Sell thy mansion on Recommend Ridge and live within thy means. Cease thy pursuit of riches at 28% interest, and give of the bounty I have blessed you with to the poor, the widowed, the afflicted. Share.
Cease thy love affair with white flour, processed sugar, and excessive red meat, that thy waistline might be slim and thy arm might be strong.
Walk, don't ride, that lo, thy days may be long upon the earth.
Turn off thy electronic devices and take up thy garden shovel, that the Lord's earth may bring forth beauty abundantly. Walk in the sunshine and tend thine vineyard, yea, as I the Lord hath tended mine.
Peace be with you, my peace I give unto you, that thy heart may be open and the tears of thy neighbor whom though has offended might be dried. Amen and amen.

Still waiting for Will to back this up...
er....wait. Sorry, I popped off too soon. Let's start over.
1. Verily, verily thus saith the Lord to my servant (insert name of prophet here), ye have been humble while seeking answers and inquiring why the prophets of old haveth many wives and conubines.
2. Wherefore I shall revealeth the law unto thee. Thus sayeth the lord, if a man be called of God, and liveth thy commandments he is justified in taking to wife many virgins, and it shall not be adultery.
3. And he shall be espoused to tens, yea, even hundreds of virgins and he is justified, for I the Lord god hath justified him, and no laws of man shall be above the laws of heaven.
4. And all laws regarding this commandments shall be administered by my servant (insert name of prophet here).
Section 2
1. Behold, I the Lord shall reveal unto thee the wars and contentions that shall soon come to pass beginning in the Middle East, even in the nation known as Iraq.
2. And it shall come to pass that if the party known as the Democrats are elected to the office of President in the nation known as the United States, yea, then shall the American troops be removed from Iraq and the nation shall fall into civil war.
3. And if the party known as Republicans be elected to the office of president, then shall the war in Iraq escalate, and it shall soon involve many more nations even until all the nations of earth be pulled into battle and the world shall be engulfed in the flames of conflict.
4. And behold, there shall be much misery and despair, and mothers shall weep for their dead children, and all shallll be destroyed and swept aside by fire and brimstone, yea, even to hearken in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, yea, even me.

For unto him which much palm hair has been given, yea like unto the knuckles of Robin Williams, I shall heretofore condemn him with the everlasting torment of the blue ball, which itself bringeth forth much pain and tribulation.
