Contention is of the devil, conflict isn’t.
Two earrings is of the Devil, one earring isn't.

If only it were that easy, Morley.

One or two earrings are objective states of the world. Not even Newsmax could confuse one earing for two. It's one thing to make distinctions without differences over states of the world that are adequately described. But for the guy you're dealing with, lol, there is never adequately described reality to start with. What is conflict? What MG does. What is contention? What anybody who disagrees with MG does.

MG = G+3B.

Good distinction. It's no wonder you're dean.

You should avoid confrontation and conflict unless you shouldn't. That is the message from the church, as far as I remember.

Skirts above the knee is of the devil.

BYU volleyball hot pants and cheerleader unis are a-ok.

Marijuana is of the devil.

Enough prescribed Xanax to put a horse down is a-ok.

Drinking some wine with a meal is of the devil.

Guzzling 48 oz of diabetes in the form of sodas mixed with syrup mixed with cream mixed with more sugar is a-ok.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
