What is the Book of Mormon analogy to those Kuerig single-serve makers with the expensive little plastic containers you just insert, put your cup under the machine and hit the button?

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Lol. That would be me sometimes. There were mornings where I knew I had to fill the quota but I was in a hurry or not in the mood. I would do the old flip-open-and-grab-a-verse and apply it to my life routine. Then I would day dream a bit and call it a winner. That fulfilled the Benson quota for the day. Not very tasty, but got the job done.

Sometimes, reading deep into the Book of Mormon was tasty. It always required cream and sugar: a.k.a. fantasy. I would play what-if scenarios and that was a delight.

But I don't like cream and sugar in my coffee because I'm looking and the hard facts now... Ok, enough analogy.

Tchild- you make me laugh. I love it.

As a young man (OK, younger than now...) I had three a day.
Today, I have one only.

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei
