**GOD:** Alegedly he knows all, and, many, many years ago, spoke to people, giving wise answers. Nobody has really ever seen him, and he hasn’t made any statements in a real long time. **Cecil:** Ditto! So what’s the deal? When’s the last time Cecil has ever come on these boards and gave any answers to some of the great questions that have been being asked? I’ll tell you this, none of the members here have any real answers. Especially in GQ. It’s almost always “I think”, “It’s probably…”, or an assualt of opinions. No real answers. At least not the way the “master” would answer them. “Master-bater” is more like it. Is Cecil too busy writing books to come in here? Is he too good for us? Whats the dope on Cecil, folks. Does he exist? Where is he? ---

Oh, we have lots of definite answers here, when it’s within a certain folks’ specialty. Also, many people seem to say “i think” when they clearly know, either from humility or a habit of keeping one foot on the back pedal. But definite answers happen all the time. I’ll prove it: ask me where this thread is going to get moved to. ---

Assuming the OP isn’t just trolling… Cecil has never said he’d ever come into GQ and answer questions. Whatever made you think he would? If you have questions for him, you e-mail them to him. Says so right on the Home Page. And he answers a question on the Home Page about once or twice a week, depending on how much help God needs in the Mideast. ---

Post it here. Cecil has, on occasion, answered a question that appeared in GQ in his column. He doesn’t answer them on the board. ---

Without reading any of the post, just the title, I will answer the question posed there. The answer is yes. ---

That’s about as good an answer as we’ll get in this forum. **Hayduke** , mind your forum choices please.
