God could have put all his messages in simple tweet length form with large san serif lettering and interspersed them with a relevant graphic and our attention would have still wandered. Even worse we may have tried grabbing that cute angel holding the graphic illustration by the "wings".

Look at LDS god delighting in his plainness as he inspires The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve to purchase bogus documents with sacred church funds from a would-be murderer, Mark Hofmann. There is nothing complicated about it. It's just a simple matter of Kimball being duped by a conman and being led by a dumb god that can neither see, hear, talk, or walk. This is proof that the imaginative god in Kimball's mind is also a fake, just like Hofmann's documents.
I bear you my testimony and present EVIDENCE that demonstrates Spencer W. Kimball was a false prophet and that the promptings of the Mormon Ghost are nothing more than the imagination of a fool's mind. It's not very complicated to come to this logical conclusion. What is complicated about it?
Ah, back in the good old days when a young Mormon elder could actually talk to prophets and apostles.

Only if he was in possession of (supposed) historical artifacts of great significance.
That's a rather important detail.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

No I wouldn't say that represents a communication problem. I'd say it represents a reading and thinking problem.

This thread gives a couple good examples of how difficult communication really is; communication between people that is. Communication between God and people has been addressed in a parable called the parable of the birds. Read it at http://www.heartlight.org/articles/2014 ... birds.html It's a Christian perspective. It gave me a new way to look at things.
