Pure bluster Trinity. This kind of amateur psychologizing in an attempt to explain away uncomfortable possibilities looks like little more than positivist straw grasping in the face of something they have neither the intellectual tools to comprehend nor the experiential background upon which to base any analysis.
Sadly enough, I understand your sentence. Where's the tag for Yikes!
Let's stack your sentence up next to Moroni 10: 3-5:
No one knows beforehand what the answer will be or if they will receive one.
3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
That, Mr. Coggins, is called lead-in.
