I guess that's pretty much the most important thing about my post.
I don't even type.

I only mentioned one problem, but the whole post is unreadable for many reasons including formatting. If you don't respect your readers (or respect language), what's the point?

Re: CALL-OUT ?
Such is the lazy, feckless narcissism of our age. Everyone wants to write for others, but few take the time to do it well. Where is the respect? Where is the love of the language?

What does "I don't even type" mean? The poster is just cut n' pasting from some other source?

That's a good question. Maybe voice recognition software?

There is voice recognition software that mistakenly uses quotation marks for emphasis?
Given all the swathes of quoted scripture, it seems more like copy pasta than extemporaneous speech.

Yeah, I have to admit I was kidding. Although, there may be voice recognition software that enters quote marks when you tell it to do so. In any case, yes, copypasta is no doubt the correct answer.

Re: CALL-OUT ?
More than half of my post are scriptures so if it's "unreadable " to you
I guess that means that you must not read or understand
the scriptures much. Like it says below -
A well known LDS writer once wrote a
foreword in a book and said -
"This book might well be entitled
"What you always wanted to know about the Gospel
but were too lazy to find out."
"All answers are in the scriptures, but Latter-day Saints
do not read the scriptures."
Hugh Nibley
READ OUR SCRIPTURES !
All the answers are contained in them.
