Isn't that a bit nitpicky subgenius? Are you implying that asking whether the Church is true is not a valid question to ask God about in prayer? Is it only legitmate to specifically ask God whether the Book of Mormon is true?
Additionally, a bit of irony in the validation you give your own "burning bosom" while still maintaining that it is wholly unreliable on such matters.
I must admit that there is a bit of a disconnect there, if Drifting is claiming confirmation of his present conviction via a process that he has determined to be unreliable. Perhaps he has a clearer, more understanble explanation of what he is really saying here? Or maybe it was only after, and because he got the "burning in the bosom" that the Book of Mormon was false, and compared that to those who got the opposite result that he decided that the method must be unreliable.
