Have you ever seen one? :) I mean, of course they're fictional, but so are lots of other things people have "seen."

Come on, raptorjesus, you must have eaten a Bigfoot at some point. Did he taste like a descendant of Cain?

I wish they were true myself. I like the idea of some primate wandering through the Northwest cracking dear skulls like they were peanuts.

Supposedly Weber had a big sighting once, a bunch of people in town saw one lurking around. Mass hysteria or were they being sinners and Cain came to scare them out of their apostasy (and steal pies from windowsills).

“On the sad character Cain, an interesting story comes to us from Lycurgus A. Wilson’s book on the life of David W. Patten. From the book I quote an extract from a letter by Abraham O. Smoot giving his recollection of David Patten’s account of meeting “a very remarkable person who had represented himself as being Cain.’

‘As I was riding along the road on my mule I suddenly noticed a very strange personage walking beside me… His head was about even with my shoulders as I sat in my saddle. He wore no clothing, but was covered with hair. His skin was very dark. I asked him where he dwelt and he replied that he had no home, that he was a wanderer in the earth and traveled to and fro. He said he was a very miserable creature, that he had earnestly sought death during his sojourn upon the earth, but that he could not die, and his mission was to destroy the souls of men. About the time he expressed himself thus, I rebuked him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by virtue of the holy priesthood, and commanded him to go hence, and he immediately departed out of my sight…” (Miracle of Forgiveness, Spencer W. Kimball, pg 127, 1969)

Well, I guess that solves the mystery of whether or not Bigfoot has language.

Cain wore a size 18 sneaker.

There might be something in common with bigfoot and the BofM.

Remember when CNN ran this?

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/08/21/bigfoot.hoax/

"the whole situation began as a joke and then got out of hand."

Maybe Joe Smith had the same thing happen. He made up a gold plates story as a joke and "It got legs and ran. It's crazy now".

"I'm miserable..."

"I've tried to commit suicide many times..."


Meanwhile David Patten is thinking "Who is this man with very dark skin talking to me???"


"IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD I REBUKE YOU"


The gent with dark skin seems polite. In addition to his misery he sounds quite lonely. I don't know why someone who has a mission to destroy the souls of man would be kept alive for more than six thousand years, inlcuding during the period when the world was flood and all the wicked were destroyed. That would seem like a good time to kill off Cain. But God's plan involves having THAT GUY alive.

David Patten could have done a great service if he had chatted with Cain and had been able to get him to open up about his psychological issues. He could have done some healing right there.

But his fear takes over.

"IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I CAST THEE OUT!"

I feel sorry for Bigfoot, really. Things got pretty out of hand after he mistakenly brought offerings of fruit and vegetables from his land, instead of an innocent lamb to burn for the Lord.
We all know if the item you're sacrificing isn't cute, cuddly and doesn't have a heartbeat, then it really is a slap in the face to our loving HF.

Cain decides he needs to go one up on the lamb and kill his own brother but we all know how that turned out now.

How about not being such an asshole god in the first place, God?

Yeah, and now we hear stories of Bigfoot eating harmless wild pigs and scaring the bejeebers out of people by looking in their windows, and Patten could've prevented all that by being kind. What a jackass.

No wonder Bigfoot's so pissed now. Probably nothing would appease him at this point...well. maybe some pancakes.

As a convert, I was quite skeptical of these goofy stories!

Then there is the story of bigroot, who had a very large member. Was he a descendant of Cain? Perhaps he evolved from Australopithelmet. He invented the Pith Helmet, because he didn't have a pot to pith in.

According to Peter Ingersoll, a neighbour of the Smith family, that is exactly what happened. Joe found some nice white sand in the forest, packed it in his coat and took it home. When the family asked what he had, he remembered a story of a Golden Bible supposedly found in Canada, so he said solemnly: It is the Gold Bible.
