In this thread, [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=85163](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=85163), you posted: > [@](#): > > \*\*oh yeah, I did change all the capital g’s to lower case g’s because the god of the LSD is not the same person as God is. God did not come from any planet. God created all planets.

But we are talking about a planet called Kolob and rather or not it is a planet or not. It is harder to address this issue without discussing what the planet is all about. Since I believe the same word is being used to define two different meanings I wanted to explain the difference. But, like I said, I could have been more tackful. Sorry about that. > > Anyway, we have decided that the planet Kolob is a planet nearest to the LSD’s god. But from the rest of the questions.

Does this mean that the closer you get to the residence of god the concept of times also changes? Andros already told you after the first one: > [@](#): > > Lovely. As my old aunt Slappy would say, “Tactless, yet rude.” What say you leave the anti-Mormon sentiment at the door, hmmm? We’re discussing the tenets of the faith–I don’t give a rat’s ass whether you agree with it or not. And you still didn’t get it! Here’s the breakdown for you: > [@](#): > > \*\*oh yeah, I did change all the capital g’s to lower case g’s At a minimum, this is just bad form when you’re quoting someone or something. The accepted practice is to use [sic] after whatever you consider to be the original misspelling and just leave the bloody misspelling alone. At worst, it shows your prejudice–see below. > [@](#): > > because the god of the LSD is not the same person as God is. That’s what’s known as an opinion, you freaking bigot. First: I’m LDS and therefore the LDS version of God just so happens to be the version of God to whom I refer when I use the term God. Second: Since you have absolutely no idea of who your audience is, you just might want to follow the advice andros gave you and leave your prejudices at the door. > [@](#): > > God did not come from any planet. And this you know exactly how? Did God {please note that I didn’t change the big G to a little G although, by your own criteria above, you and I appear to be talking about a different deity in your rather feeble mind} tell you that Himself? Did you actually witness the event of creation? Or are you pulling stuff out of your rump here? I note that you gave no citation for your statement. > [@](#): > > God created all planets. And this you know exactly how? Did God tell you that Himself? Etc. > [@](#): > > But, I am sure we can find lots of debates already open talking about a god vs God. Many of those who are debating this on this board manage to do it without the stupidity you just showed. Hell, even vanilla managed to make a polite comment in the original thread! > [@](#): > > Ok sorry, I could have been more tackfull. Damn straight you could have been more tactful. You also could’ve pulled your head out of your rump before typing. > [@](#): > > But we are talking about a planet called Kolob and rather or not it is a planet or not. Exactly. That’s really basically a GQ and not, IMHO, a GD question: “Do the LDS believe Kolob is really a planet or do they consider it to be an allegory in scripture?” That was answered in the original thread with, essentially, “Some think it’s a real place and others think it’s allegory.” > [@](#): > > It is harder to address this issue without discussing what the planet is all about. Bullshit. That’s like saying, “It’s hard to decide if the Moon’s really there without discussing what the Moon’s all about in some Moon-worshipping religion.” What it’s about is irrelevant to the question of its physical existence. > [@](#): > > Since I believe the same word is being used to define two different meanings I wanted to explain the difference. Just for entertainment value, and especially in Great Debates, you just might want to put your beliefs on the back burner. > [@](#): > > But, like I said, I could have been more tackful. Damn straight. > [@](#): > > Sorry about that. As well you should be. > [@](#): > > Anyway, we have decided that the planet Kolob is a planet nearest to the LSD’s god. Well, we’ve determined that some believe it to be that and others to be an allegory. And it’s “LDS,” not “LSD.” The LDS church frowns on drug abuse. > [@](#): > > But from the rest of the questions. It does not appear as if any of the rest of the info follows the LDS chruch. Try to write complete sentences, please. > [@](#): > > But, if it is the closest plant to the residence of god, and then one day on Kolob is equal to 1000 earh years. Does this mean that the closer you get to the residence of god the concept of times also changes? Could be. After all, there is this thing in the known universe called “Theory of Relativity.” ---
