That’s funny- No, seriously you always make a lot of sense. And in this case, I’d have to agree with your opening post. Although, I do find it a bit pompous for people to give themselves titles and expect other people to use these titles. My regards to Mr. Jerry, brother.

Neither does the Filipino Santa. I wonder how those kids feel about Santa. At least Jesus screws everybody

“First, being a deep thinker arguably has very little to do with one's religious convictions, or lack thereof.“ I guess you make a good point, but I kind of think falling for goofy shit and believing nonsense indicates a little bit of a defect in the ability to think deeply. And I don’t mean goofy little shit like don’t cook with olive oil if it’s under 140° or spam is good for you

My condolences. I’ve been a caretaker for my Mom. It’s hard. I wish you the best. I’ve shared this song with people that come across that have had to deal with Alzheimer’s in their life. It was written, and performed by a very cool, non-religious person. https://thedellow.bandcamp.com/track/everything-happened-just-right I don’t know if that link will come through.

“I look back and wonder how I could be so confident that I would become a physician.“ Now, that is an interesting question. And I’m not really thinking about it and context of this thread, but I would be fascinated to hear you speculate on what differentiated you from so many other people – not just women – but people. Because, this was something you did at a very young age. Wha

I know if I dig deep enough into Skinner’s work I’ll figure out why I’m not getting blowjobs anymore.

I agree, an atheist Chaplin would be a complete hypocrite. The actual chaplain would be something based on something real instead of something that’s not real or exist only in the atheist mind. And atheist Chaplin is kind of like a speaking Charlie Chaplin movie.

And if so, when did the vegan part start? I’ve heard the story of when Christianity began, but I’m trying to put my finger on the first vegan.

"Never, ever, ever....tell the bishop anything! I was really good at withholding information when asked questions while keeping on an expressionless face." This is a safe place to disclose what was going on behind that straight face . . . :) This makes me think of scientology . . . the interviews and personal disclosures that can be held over your head. Smart person to keep it to

I've read about kids being questioned by the Bishop. I haven't heard anything about he "adults." Do Mormon adults need to talk to the Bishop periodically? Are they under any obligation to report moral issues to the Bishop? For example, if I were having sexual thoughts during church about a fellow member, would there be any obligation to talk to the Bishop? If so, what would

I don’t want to get into whether it’s a minor key or a major key, or whether e minor is the two cord of D major or the four chord of B minor. But I do want to say this! I have never grooved so hard as the days I’ve spent listening to those Mormon hymns!

I had a friend that used to call me Ebeneezer. What’s up Ebeneezer? I could’ve sworn it was a nickname for Satan. I’m getting the idea that the Ebeneezer is to mark the miracle of God giving blessings even to the undeserving as long as they’re humble. Humble rock.

From the article: “In Hebrew, Ebenezer means “stone of help” (eben = stone; ezer = help). Samuel wanted the people to remember, not just for a few days, but for years, for decades, for generations, how God had come to the rescue of his people when they humbled themselves before him.” Stone of help? Is this where Joseph got the idea for the rocking his hat? Was he looking at his

Definitely better. And getting better. Better than the 1960’s? Are you kidding me? Jobs, income, education— it’s all better. Of course we still have a bunch of crazy racists but they’re up against a massive number of younger people who see the world much differently. It’s still f’ed up but much better than it was and going the right direction. That’s why we’re seeing
