And/or tell people what they want to hear/know about the veracity of any given religion they may be investigating?

That Holy Ghost fellow...he's such the jolly prankster isn't he...

Or so it seems to me...

Holy the Ghost needs a new occupation. I'm sure he/she/it would enjoy it more than the interference he runs. Plus, the pay might even be better.

People lie to themselves. For comfort, tradition, family, whatever.
Don't blame imaginary ghosts :)

According to the Mormons the HG does nothing of the kind.

The HG only attests to the truthfulness of Mormonism.

Other people receive witnesses to the truthfulness of other religions courtesy of Satan, pulling off the old Nigh-Unto-An-Angel-Of-Light trick - again!

And, according to Mormonism, he's a useless wimp. At the first hint of a bad thought or action, just when you could use his prodding and warm feelings, he runs away.

The whole structure and teachings of Mormonism are false. The HG is just one of the more minor lies.

That's the reason so many people have "goosebumps" or euphoric feelings from certain songs, singers and movies.

Sometimes it's unintentional, sometimes it's done on purpose.

Nice try "anybody"...but in my case without having any sort of choice in the matter from a 5th-generational viewpoint...i'll stick with my congenital label...thanks!

Remember, the testimony of the Holy Ghost is more reliable than
science, history, or scholarship.

But it has to be from the REAL Holy Ghost, not just your mind
making feelings that you misinterpret. Here's how to tell if
it's the REAL Holy Ghost:

If it tells you the Mormon Church is true, then it's the REAL
Holy Ghost. Its witness can never be denied or questioned. If it
tells you any other Church is true, then it's only your mind
making feelings that you misinterpret.

It's all very simple, clear-cut, and logical. I don't know why
you apostates try to make it seem so muddled and contradictory.
