>>But Mormons, gotta give them credit, added a little hi-tech frill to the story - if memory serves - with the notion that the "Son" flew to South America in a flying saucer of sorts.

>Dude.. I've told you before to share whatever it is you're drinking or smoking with me.

John, my man, I do delve into excentricities - but what you ask - costs - besides the best stuff is in Tennessee!:-)

I am also priviledged to particpate in a venture with a Muslim, a Jewish and several Mormon partners. Strange bedfellows indeed! I used to travel to Utah for week long meetings in Park City. I learned a lot about mormons after hours (we drank tea - that's taboo in SLC!).

Mormons are as fanatical as Jews or Muslims when it comes to religious records and classifications and accounts of institutional history. They are also a lot of fun, especially when the "heretics" are "safely" out of ear shot from the "religious". The converstaion was always lively.

Mormon creed claims:" ... that after the resurrection, Jesus visited America, where he taught and performed miracles."

So - as you see - your understandable questioning of my assertion - has a basis in Mormon theology. Now I do not know the mode of transportation - so the "UFO" was merely a rhetorical catch-all!
