Is that his legal name, or an alias? If it's his legal name, the quotes are implying the editors' opinion that somehow he's still not entitled to it.... I'd be pretty damn pissed if any headline about me said something like, <blockquote>President Obama Awards 'David' Medal of Freedom for Work in Support of Reason</blockquote> although I'd probably be in a pretty good mood that day, so OK.

In terms of him having a body I mean, and not being trinitarian. If he is then it would seem the Mormans got it right, not us Christians.

I think you're all being far too skeptical here. Maybe he's the Real Thing. I mean, when John DeLorean's empire began to crumble, what did he do to try to secure financing, eh? Totally makes sense to me. Though I do rather wonder what happened to all those donations he gets from Ernest Angely and all those guys ... Oh come now!

Be it Sex, Drugs, or Rock 'N' Roll, everything that feels good is a Lure of Satan; God created it in order to trick us into marching straight to hell.
