I am sure that James believes this statement to be true, but there are those of us, who know - not from knowing him - but knowing about tests, how utterly false the above is. Please provide proof. This should be really funny... Shouldn't people with putative 160+ IQ's be theoretical physicists at Princeton, rather than boring bloggers on the WE weblog? One would certainly hope. But, this is the same blogger who claims to have a 4.0 GPA from college. Could it be that he just forever posts self-enhancing lies? Duh, maybe... “Well, I guess I’ll take my 160+ IQ and slink off into the corner Mod.”

I almost agree.. the desire was just minifested in the eating of the apple...or kumquat...or whatever the fruit actually was. There is a fine line here though, because being like Jesus is desirable, but taking His place on the throne is not. Knowing the difference between good and evil is desirable, but placing yourself on the Judgement seat is not. Chas.

Perhaps they could invent some institution, perhaps call it something like a church or a temple, and they could have their religion there? The Kansas Constitution already states that supporting such religion in the government is illegal but nothing like religious people to use religion to justify criminal behavior.
