I'm a human being, somewhere on the planet, minding my own business, when I'm approached by a salesman who gives me a sales pitch about becoming a rich man.

I tell him, I say, "how do I know you can make me rich? Are you rich?"

"Oh yes," he says, "very rich indeed." Then he proceeds to show me his bank account which has a whole lot of zeros in FRONT of the decimal place, which is exactly where you want the zeros to be if you're into buying stuff.

I tell him, I say, "what's in it for you? Why do you want to make me rich?"

He says, "Making you money will make me money, too. Ya dig?"

So I sign up, right? I pay my dues which is actually pretty expensive. It's more expensive that I counted on, actually. I had to borrow money from my folks. In return I got some t-shirts, dvds, and a hat. Also a promise that "if you got a problem, yo I'll solve it. Check out the hook while the deejay revolves it."

He talks like that a lot, actually. I wish he'd just talk normal.

I wish he'd talk at all. He's never once returned my phone calls, emails, texts, tweets, or facebook messages. I'm not making any money, but I keep getting billed for my membership dues, which I still have to pay even if I'm not making a profit.

This guy came to me! And he's got the nerve to take my money and not keep his promises? Is this an organization I should continue to be a part of?

Hmm...


I'm an intelligence, somewhere in the cosmos, minding my own business, when I'm approached by Elohim or one of his agents who gives me a sales pitch about becoming a god.

I tell him, I say, "how do I know you can make me a god? Are you a god?"

"Oh yes," he says, "very exalted indeed." Then he proceeds to show me his kingdom which has a whole lot of women BEHIND his throne, which is exactly where you want the women to be if you're into making babies with them.

I tell him, I say, "what's in it for you? Why do you want to make me a god?"

He says, "Making you a god will make me happy. Ya dig?"

So I sign up, right? I pay my dues which is actually pretty expensive. It's more expensive that I counted on, actually. I had to give up my sovereignty and agree not to remember who I am for a mortal lifetime. In return I get the body of a higher primate in the post-industrial age, some useless scriptures, and a baker's hat. Also a promise that "if you got a problem, yo I'll solve it. Check out the hook while the deejay revolves it."

He talks like that a lot in the scriptures, actually. I wish he'd just talk normal.

I wish he'd talk at all. He's never once answered my prayers. I'm not gaining mystical powers, but I keep getting billed for my membership dues, which I still have to pay even if his profit doesn't prophesy; even his his seers don't see; and even if his revelators don't reveal anything.

Yes! The mormon god is a terrible businessman and we should all take our business elsewhere. Bravo! Or should I say businessalien?
