Why not just force Latter-Day Saints to get themselves saved?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to spirit children familiar with Lucifer, old Beelzebub had consulted the work of John Calvin and plagiarized almost word for word in his speech to Heavenly Father concerning the best way to save humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This proposal did not please LDS Jesus who cried \u201cRigged election! Lucifer wants to steal human\u2019s tremendously good free will capacity. Bad! Not good!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a galaxy far, far away in a state called Utah, LDS president Brigham Young reassured his followers who fear Lucifer by saying, \u201cNothing to worry about.\u201d Young said. \u201cLucifer is just another one of those blasted Calvinists. We have dealt with those before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other news, Joseph Smith accused John Calvin of rigging the election in much the same way that Jesus accused Lucifer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Satura Apologia Today Beyond the Satire Quote: \u201cWe cannot remember that we once lived with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and that we probably sat in meetings much like this, where the Father\u2019s plan for us was explained.
