Mormons are Christians. South Park did a pretty funny thing on Mormons not too long ago. It's human nature to be religious, to relate in terms of fables and myths. But we're also rational beings. Sometimes those two parts of our nature conflict. Steve Dietrich

Focus on an object several feet away...look at it's shape...look at the texture of it's surface...notice the shades of color...look at the way the light casts shadows across it's surface...understand that all of what you see is nothing more than reflected rays of light....light that passes invisibly from the object to your eye...as it is moves through your eye it passes though a rubber-like lens that focuses and flips the image upside down...then your optic nerve carries an electric impulse to your brain...that impulse is then transformed into a picture in your mind...a picture so vivid that you can close your eyes and describe it over and over again. It's a damn good thing that we lucked into such random chaos.
