Everyone here keeps screaming show me the evidence of your theories, but I can't, for the ideas come from the Bible, and atheists in here don't like the Bible because the ideas the theologian, Joseph Smith, hurt them with an occult scam called the Book of Mormon. If scientists can theorize about the big bang theory, we can theorize too, can't we?

The most confusing and misleading chapter in the Bible is the very first one. Everyone assumes Genesis 1 is about the physical creation, when I theorize, it is not. The mortal creation of life happened over billions of years on other planets by Yahweh changing the genetic codes directly Himself to control what He wanted to create. The controlled evolution started from a one cell organism invisible to the eye that had all the genetic material needed to create everything else. Where did it come from? Yahweh created the cell and genetics by His Logos Word.

Then by His Word Yahweh created all the natural laws needed for cell division and to facilitate the sex processes to multiply life. There were no genetic mutations create by mortals manipulating the genetic codes, like it is done on earth by scientists or we see in science fiction movies.

Therefore, there is no such thing as the missing link in the fossil record on earth. Also, there is no missing link on the other planets, either. No. The mortal creation was carefully controlled by genetics. The genetic modifications were done directly by Yahweh. No mutations.

Thus, Lucifer deceives himself by assuming Yahweh also evolved spiritually based on how mortal life was created. It is a logical conclusion, but Yahweh refuses to tell us the details of where He came from. He says He is the Great I Am and is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It could be true that He spiritually evolved, but He is still the core essence that He started with, so He would not be lying. We don't know. He hasn't told us the details, and He never will tell us. It is not our business. It is trespassing and steals His glory, breaking His Commandments not to steal.

Therefore, Genesis Chapter 1 is about the creation of the spirit and soul and has nothing to do with the mortal body. The same symbols are used in the Book of Revelation, clarifying Yahweh is a Spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and Truth He defines.

Let us go verse by verse to explain Genesis 1 plainly so we understand. This is probably the most important chapter in the Bible:

In the beginning God created the heavens [realms of the spirit orb ideas and feelings] and the earth [our will].
The earth [will] was without form [no body], and void [without purpose]; and darkness was on the face [seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting] of the deep [ideas]. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face [seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting] of the waters [feelings].

Our created will could not choose between light and darkness, having no purpose. It was all darkness, confusion on the face of the deep ideas and the feelings of our spirits. We repeat this darkness today in the spirit when bad ideas cause darkness and confusion of thought. Quiet spiritual feelings control us and our moods, which influence the louder feelings of the soul and body, which makes it very difficult to hear the quiet feelings of our spirit. The quiet spirit of darkness is Satan or the dragon created in every spirit by Yahweh.

Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Yahweh Elohim is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) Yahweh's Spirit is placed inside our spirit to make us eternal after He creates our spirit, which is independent from Him and is darkness without the light. Yahweh is eternal, not us. His eternal light interconnects all of us as one. The light of Yahweh is contrasted to the evil one of darkness that believes very stupid and irrational ideas. Asking where Yahweh came from is the foundational question of Lucifer that births all evil ideas by logic and reason to justify his philosophy. It is pure foolishness based on a foolish question. No one can answer the question except Yahweh.

The first day of creation is the Day of the Father (1). The glory and justice of the Father is revealed by overcoming the darkness of ideas and feelings in the spirit orb that has no bodily form. The Father is the source of all spiritual light that is pure and holy, separated from us. But simultaneously, the Father's light is in all of us, being managed by the Son, can also be half-true light. The Gospel of John explains clearly the light shines in darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend it. John explains more of these spiritual dynamics of light and how the Son is a duplicate of the Father in John Chapter 1.

The evening and morning of each day of creation means everything Yahweh Elohim creates is within the one Rainbow Covenant that covers the sky from sunrise to sunset or morning to evening. The First Covenant is the evening of justice and glory gained from overcoming darkness of the dragon by repentance. The New Covenant is the morning of mercy and love. The path of the sun we see is bow-shaped from beginning to end. The purpose of His creation is decided from His eternal light and not from our created darkness of the dragon. Without His eternal light speaking from the North, the darkness of the power of self is defined as the light incorrectly.

All six days are created within the purpose of His light. The darkness is used to teach us to know good and evil.

The Satanists teach the darkness of self is the light and encourage us to believe selfishness is happiness. Lucifer's reverses light by absorbing the rainbow colors to self. The idea leads us into power and control to be slaves to our leaders. The very top leaders in the secret societies are slaves to Lucifer!

Yahushua said, "If the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness." He knew all about the reverse properties of Lucifer's black light that is directed toward His own selfish glory. He explained it clearly.


Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

The spirit orb is divided into the conscious and subconscious feelings (waters) and ideas inside the feelings. All water has oxygen in it. The oxygen represents intellectual ideas inside the water feelings.

Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

Heaven is symbolic of spirit. Water is feelings.

The second day of creation represent the Son (2) of mercy and love. The Son governs the subconscious part of the spirit with mercy and love that drives our conscious thoughts and feelings. He gives power to the dragon based on our faith in the dumb ideas sent to the conscious mind. Yahweh does not tempt us, but he created the darkness or dragon of dark ideas and feelings for us to overcome and glorify Him by our good ideas to prove we love Him and not His Power, like the Son does. The Son's Spirit loves His Father's Spirit perfectly. The Son, as a duplicate of the Father, governs the creation of our spirit orb inside us with love and mercy. The Son is the sunrise we need after the sunset takes us into the darkness of the first day. The Son is the ruler of heaven within us.

Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass [ideas animals eat], the herb that yields seed [ideas that heal and nourish the spirit--includes vegetable ideas], and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind [delicious ideas that are sweet to feed the spirit], whose seed is in itself, on the earth [the ideas are created from our wills]”; and it was so. And the earth [our will] brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind [each idea has its offspring]. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.

The third day of creation represents the Holy Spirit (3) power. It is the automatic ability in us to create good and evil ideas from the will that is represented by grass, herbs, and fruit. The spirit orb is placed in the soul body created by sex between two souls to beget a child with these Holy Spirit powers. The Holy Spirit is female, and the soul is born on day 3 by a female soul.
The new soul body creates louder feelings than the spirit orb of ideas that is placed in it.
The land is the ability to move in a soul body by the will of the spirit.
The seas represent the power to mix the opinions of soul feelings incorrectly with the Word of Yahweh or salt water. Yahweh sees it is good for spirit orbs to be placed into soul bodies to make rational mistakes about His Word and learn from the mistakes and repent.
Most all spirit orbs are placed into the training of sheep soul-parents, unless they choose to remain spirit orbs. Because of their indecision to move forward, Yahweh eventually places them into goat souls who become sheep later before the resurrection. These goat souls do not become sheep until Lucifer is proven to be a deceived liar, which is still in the future.

There is confusion on earth about the creation power of Yahweh by his direct Word vs His ability to create laws that the soul elements and physical atoms obey. The creation of our spirits by His direct Word is basically what most Christians believe already. Our spirit orbs are eternal when they are created directly by his Word in Day 1. The spirit orb can be scientifically proven by taking pictures of them in certain places on earth.

Unlike spirit orbs, souls are not eternal until the resurrection and can be destroyed in hell fire for those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit. The soul can be taken picture of and are the human looking, and all kinds of buzz is written about them, but many are fake to make money. If we are not afraid of them, they cannot hurt us.

From Day 3 to Day 6, Yahweh speaks to create the laws of operation of soul matter. Souls and physical bodies are conceived, birthed, and grow by laws established by His Word through sexual intercourse, and then eat ideas and light for nourishment. Genesis 1 is about the spirit/soul creation, and Genesis 2 is about the creation of the physical body. Breathing life into Adam means placing his spirit-soul inside an immortal body. His created spirit includes Yahweh's Spirit of Eternal Life.

Adam's and Eve's physical bodies were "formed" by the laws created that govern sex and growth. Their bodies were not created directly by His Word as Genesis 1 explains the creation of their spirits and souls. The creation of the laws that govern the birth of the soul by sex and its ideas and feelings were also created directly by His Word when He spoke. These things were created in Genesis 1. not "formed" in Genesis 2. Other than forming the immortal bodies of Adam and Eve, the physical creation of everything else is omitted from the Bible to fool every one until Yahweh was ready to confront the evil on earth with the truth, which is our day.

For example, Day 2 is the time the spirit orb decides to be in a male or female soul body. Yahweh does not make the gender choice, but after understanding both male and female ideas as a spirit orb in Days 1 and 2, we pick the body gender we want to live in for eternity. The body is symmetrical, representing ideas, both male (right side of the body) and female (left side of the body). But whatever body we choose, our spirit is supposed to be dominated by that gender role. Then, we get a soul body, and later, a physical body to match the gender role we chose.

Today Lucifer seeks to confuse us in mortality by changing our feelings about gender to change our gender decision because we do not know we made it already. The reason he can do this so easily to program children to believe in being gay is the gender decision was not based on the soul body we received by Yahweh. It was based on our desires, not the body facts. We made the decision before we were placed in a soul body, either male or female. Therefore, if our desires change about gender because of child programing, rape, sodomy, or painful experiences with the opposite sex, then bingo, we will desire to change our gender identity, regardless what kind of body we have. Body facts mean nothing. Feelings are everything.

The soul also has a will, but it can't override the will of the spirit, unless the spirit submits to the feelings of the soul. Therefore, the waters or feelings of the soul are governed by the spirit, whether it rules or submits to the soul.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

The fourth day of creation represents self (4). The spirit orb has been placed in a soul body that can create good and evil ideas from its perspective, and the will of the soul and spirit is illuminated with three spiritual lights of God (sun, moon, stars) produced by Yahweh who was placed in the spirit in Day 1. The will creates both good and evil ideas and the associated feelings. Using the three spirits lights from Yahweh, the spirit and soul deal with the darkness and confusion of the "evil one" created in the beginning in us in Day 1. The three lights define the light of Yahweh placed into the spirit on Day 1 that illuminates the soul.

The days, weeks, months, and years have specific eternal meanings that have nothing to do with time in mortality. These are defined in the Book of Revelation:

1.Days are eternal meaning of the Word in the sunlight.
2.Weeks are periods of work and rest.
3.Months are the cyclical patterns of moonlight. We learn to walk in the moonlight that is the reflection of the sunlight we all need. The moonlight of the physical interpretation of the Bible leads us into the sunlight of the first heaven in the New Covenant. The First Covenant is intended to discipline the selfish, darkened flesh and is the school master that leads us into pure light.
5.Years are the four cyclical spiritual seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Then God said, “Let the waters [feelings] abound with an abundance of living creatures [feeling ideas that have their own will], and let birds fly [spiritual ideas that have their own will] above the earth [created will] across the face [spiritual perception] of the firmament of the heavens [spirit].” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves [the ideas have a life of their own, like people do, but they are depicted as sea creatures because our created will can influence them, even kill them, like animals. They are the opinions of mortals mixed with Bible ideas to create error], with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

The fifth day of creation represents the grace (5) of Yahweh Elohim. His grace creates the ability in the soul to create the feelings automatically. They live independently in us when our wills, the earth, creates the feelings (sea creatures) and heavenly ideas (birds), both good and evil. His grace multiplies them by the turning earth (our will). The ideas come to life by grace after we choose to believe in them.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

The animal ideas are different from the sea creatures and birds. Animals have arms and legs representing free will to do things bird-ideas and fish-ideas cannot do. They live on land, meaning, the ideas are based on reason and logic and not on feelings or spiritual promptings. The reasoning is not to benefit the heavenly ideas of the birds, but the ideas are connected to physical objectives on earth, whether it is a sheep or goat, lamb or lion, good or evil, etc.

The cattle eat grass, representing peaceful objectives to emulate, like harmless sheep. The lions and tigers eat the cattle to teach us to avoid survival of the fittest objectives. Most animals walk on four legs, representing self (4) is bound to earthly things, unlike a bird that flies to heaven using wings. Angels have wings in the Bible to represent the inner kingdom of heaven in which we fly in Yahweh's Spirit within us, symbolically speaking, of course. Real angel do not have wings.

The creeping things represent all kinds of good and evil ideas in the spirit/soul by imagery. The snake is an example. Like a snake, the devil has no arms or legs, but he is controlled by Yahweh to teach us to know good and evil. He slithers in the dust to illustrate he can only understand the physical realms. He cannot see or live in the inner heaven. He lives only in the third heaven. People are not supposed to be like harmful animals or creeping things.

Yahweh saw the creation of animal ideas and creeping things of ideas was good because the purpose of creation is to teach us to know good and evil ideas and feelings. Knowledge is in the intellect of the spirit orb. John says, "This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you. Yahweh Elohim is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5).

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth [created will] and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food [ideas]. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

The sixth day of creation represents Yahweh Elohim's works (6). His Word creates laws gives the soul the power of dominion over all the ideas and feelings in the soul and spirit by having the ability to see from a bird's eye view the mechanics of the origin of thoughts and feelings. We have the ability to repent of darkness and embrace the light in the outer kingdom, speaking as a soul that sees outwardly. Souls do not have the capability to enter the first, second, or third heaven until after receiving a physical body. Souls have a promise to go to heaven, just like mortals. But they are told they may not live in heaven, until they live in a body. See? Souls can create good and evil ideas, just like mortals can, which create the associated good or bad feelings!

The sexual function of the soul also becomes active on the sixth day, so we could procreate souls for spirit orbs to enter; thus, we can then multiplying ideas and feelings for generations. Souls grow from children to adults, just like physical bodies grow. So basically, creation days 3, 4, and 5 describe the growth of the baby soul and growth to maturity when another soul is provided as a mate, when the ability to have dominion and multiply is reached on day 6. Their power grows slowly just like children on earth.

The creation days are outside of mortal time as we know it, just like Book of Revelation. A day means understanding and making a decision in the eternal sunlight of Yahweh, symbolically speaking. The sun is created on the fourth day of self from the soul's perspective and not from His Eternal Perspective of sunlight that has always existed and placed in our spirits on day 1.

Before the sixth day of creation, we were not men or women with the power of works to remove the evil ideas. As soul children, we were powerless to stop the creation of good and evil ideas that caused conflict, like the good and evil ideas today on earth are a mass of utter confusion. As soul children, we are guided in the creation of thoughts and feelings by our parents, whether they are sheep or goat souls.

As mortals today, the Satanists, the goats, have taken dominion over world thoughts and feelings in the unrighteousness of Lucifer. The dragon in them is controlling them by the ideas they believe. The darkness they call light, and the evil they call good, but they are ignorant of good and evil. They are not men and women created in the image of Yahweh to know both good and evil--though they can be. They have been tricked by Lucifer to be his slaves, and they are created in his image based on the false ideas they believe. They are his children, not Yahweh's. Therefore, Christ called the Pharisee leaders sons of the devil because they worshipped and trusted in Lucifer's ideas, pretending to believe in Yahweh.

Yes, they and the ETs have controlled all the physical narratives on the planet for 150,000 years. They hide the truth to make us their religious, business, government, and educational slaves; rather then free men and women. Lucifer has done the same thing to them by his lies, but they don't know it, yet.

Days 1 is the creation of the eternal spirit, or us at the core, and it cannot be destroyed in hell fire. Top Satanists are trained to connect with this eternal spirit and define it as self, and believe it is uncreated. They believe the created spirit is a god because it cannot be destroyed after it is created. It is half-true. The created darkness is temporary. The light is eternal.

The dimension of the spirit, either light or darkness, has no law. There are no laws in heaven; and therefore, the satanists believe they are not subject to mortal laws. They write mortal laws through governments exempting themselves from law, and we constantly see those in high-powered position escaping the justice of law. They don't live by the rule of law, but teach others to live by rule of mortals that are in authority over them as the leaders. They do whatever the person in power says to do. They obey orders from their leaders, not laws. They are following the heavenly pattern and not mortality's requirements established as a soul by the Creator and documented in Genesis 1.

Rule by the leader and not law comes from Satanists governing the world that have connected to their own spirit orb created on Days 1. They trespass into Yahweh's business, confusing self created on Day 4 with the operation of light and darkness in their souls and misapply dominion created on Day 6 that is intended for the soul created by sex on Day 3, and not for the spirit.

The spirit and soul are not any more complicated then the physical body to understand the basics. Yes, we need microscopes to study the genetics, but we don't need them to live. Neither do we need to know complexity of the spirit and soul any more than what Yahweh provided in Genesis 1 and the Book of Revelation to live in the first heaven of grace and peace All we need is be poor in spirit and not love Yahweh's power. Christ said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

The creation of the physical world by evolution on other planets is excluded from the Bible in detail, but it is inferred by Adam and Eve walking out of an immortal Garden of Eden into mortality that already existed before they were transported here from immortal planets by Yahweh, not in spaceships, but directly by His supernatural powers, just like He transported Phillip after he baptized the Ethiopian.

That is far too long. No one is going to read it.

If you were interested in the truth, and the scientific method, you wouldn't start by assuming the Bible is genuine. You would learn about physics, geology, archaeology, and genetics and then build your hypothesis from there.

To start by crediting a narrative that is not factual, you vitiate your effort completely.

Have you had a major challenge to your faith in Mormonism ?

Have you become dismayed by the chasm between the version of Mormon history and doctrine you were taught all your life and what you have learned in your personal studies ?

In spite of your high level of devotion to the church, in your heart, are you uncomfortable saying, "I know the Church is true." ?

Do you feel that you have social / political opinions that are in conflict with the Mormon Church’s Leadership ?

Has the Mormon religion begun to feel spiritually empty for you or maybe even spiritually damaging and destructive ?

If so, you are on the right track !

The first thing that you need to understand is that 99.96% of everything the Mormon Church has taught you about God is a lie.

Also ~ beware of the Atheists and Libertines who ply this discussion board with their perverted powers of persuasive proselytizing.

100% of everything they tell you about God is a lie.

The 0.04% of the truth is that the ancient space-alien god of the Hebrews is REAL and, as far as your pitifully short life is concerned, pretty much controls everything in this particular corner of the galaxy including this little blue and green planet-of-clocks you call home.

You may not agree with God’s methods.

Because of the breadth and depth of your foul Californi-centric 1st World value programming, you may feel that His caveman-like genocidal fits of jealousy, wrath, bloodlust, and anger are unbecoming for an Omnipotent deity.

You may be bothered that our best scientists have proven that His taking credit for creating the entire universe in seven days is demonstrably FALSE.

It doesn’t matter. It is what it is.

You might as well be upset at the sky for being blue, or water for being wet, or boobs for being awesome.

Your level of belief makes no difference in His ability to manipulate your life for the purposes of achieving His seemingly insidious immoral plan to bring about the apocalyptic destruction of all humanity.

In fact there is evidence to show that the promulgation of atheistic belief systems actually make Him grow stronger.

The Good News is that this powerful space deity who terrorized the ancient Israelites is willing to make a deal with you personally.

If you are willing to ally yourself with Him in pursuit of His nameless intergalactic goals, He in return can, nay WILL, tip the cosmic scales of cause-and-effect in your favor, cheat Karma, beat the system, and literally make accidents happen for your benefit.

Think of what this means in terms of sex, business, and social standing !

It isn't WHAT you know, it WHO you know.

“Luck” simply means being in the right place at the right time.

Well, if you play along, this mighty mad alien god of the Hebrews can fix it so that you will constantly find yourself stumbling into that right place at just the right time.

The Ancients called this deal “the Covenant”.

Do you think this is a joke ?

Watch the Oscars and count the Jews sitting in the front rows with their trophy women.

Now do you think it’s a joke ?

This JHVH – the vengeful mad alien ancient Hebrew God of Wrath, who cometh in the clouds, full of eyes round about, has gone from being a lowly minor Canaanite grain deity to LORD OF THE ENTIRE FRIGGIN’ UNIVERSE in 6000 short years !

Find your place in the ranks of zealous peace-loving warrior pawns for JHVH in this ORIGINAL ONE TRUE FERTILITY CULT while there is yet still time

Do not make the mistake of throwing “the Baby Jesus” out with the Mormon “bathwater” and end up as a mindless unwitting servant of atheism.

Begin today by finding a good Christian Church and start paying JHVH lip service.

Work your way up to smiting unbelievers.

Enjoy the PEACE and PROSPERITY JHVH has promised to give His minions while in this mortal life.

And on that Great Last Day when Our Lord fulfills His plan to annihilate this planet in an eye-watering orgasmic cataclysm of destruction, WE TRUE BELIEVERS will watch and REJOICE from the lido decks of the escape vessels which will transport us to realms of eternal delirious pleasures.

Inthenameofcheeseandriceamen,

I don't believe in the Bible because the evidence is it was written by men who were not witnesses to the content who used the writings for earthly power and control. The content doesn't match much of what is in the soil.

If you want to argue that the plain text of the Bible is not what it says, you need an evidencial basis for such. The Bible itself is not that basis.

If you don't have evidence for your claims about the Bible independent of the Bible then you don't have an evidential basis for your claims for using the scientific method.

The scientific method is demonstrable. The evidence can be examined. That is its strength. Examining the Bible on its own is sufficient to break it as Thomas Piane did in the Age of Reason. It is internally inconsistent to the claims it makes.

It doesn't take Joseph Smith to poison me against the Bible. It does that on its own.

As Paine noted, if God wanted us to know certain things he could simply let us all know individually. The mystery and hiddenness is simply unnecessary and counterproductive.

anonthegreat:

Nobody here is "screaming".

The "no preaching" rule was not implemented by "the atheists" - it's a longstanding RfM policy set out by Eric, Board Founder and Owner. Very clear rule: No preaching.

The primary purposes of this board are to answer concerns from questioning Mormons, to inform and support those who have recently left Mormonism and to exchange ideas, information and experiences as people transition into a post-Mormon life.

If people want to read Bible expositions, analyze scripture, discuss theology at length or debate religion there are other boards for that. This is NOT the place, to put a new spin on BY's Utah declaration.

Brief mentions of a person's personal beliefs and faith experiences are OK. Long descriptions, scriptural passages, essays, footnotes and religious debates are not.

Please observe this clear, simple board rule. We've given you some latitude but time's up. Your posts such as this one will more likely than not be deleted from now on.
