So what you're saying is that one of the test results ought to have been "Been-There-Done-That"? :biggrin:

Are you familiar with the essay "God and I" by http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight http://nielsenhayden.com/, which concerns how she (more or less) forced the LDS to formally excommunicate her?

No but thanks. Very interesting.
And darned if the fellow didn't stand up, address the Almighty, and say "We thank Thee, O Lord, for bringing us together on this occasion--." I nearly swallowed my tongue trying to keep from laughing.

:smile: :smile: :smile: I can see why.

Two comments: I was told the long underswear is intended to prevent exposing one's self in any way that may be improper. The reason for this is to avoid tempting others. I don't know if this is really the original motive or not.

Edit: If this was really the motive - to prevent tempting others - then I would expect that the underwear would not be required once a person reaches a certain age; say by age...well...I dare not say when. :redface:

As for the curiously placed holes in the long underwear, I think this myth about the Mormons actually comes from the now all but extinct [Traditional] Shakers. It was not allowed for the bodies of a husband and wife to touch except through a hole in a sheet. :surprise:

Boy, that would be fun.

That's not on the list at Tom's link, but it is an obvious extrapolation of a gedanken experiment in Halliday and Resnik.

Only in the sense that it's an obvious extrapolation of any good book on relativity. :biggrin:

Thx for the quiz. It was nice! Looks like there's plenty of atheists here - I'm one too! Anyway, i think it was the 'question5. Are you afraid of God?' I answered 'I'm not sure he exists'. Isn't that obvious?!

I guess it's a funny quiz, but pretty useless ! I've been flattered by philosopher/scientist, but I wanted that kind of result to get out ! And I would have been mad if they call me nothing !

That is not the answer of an atheïst. An atheïst would have responded "What is there to be afraid of?". Your answer is that of an agnost.
